House Bill 1534 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Department of Health to become an accreditation body and carry out federal program requirements in the state. The Texas Board of Health is authorized to revoke a certification if the required fees are not paid in a timely manner. In addition, the act requires a facility that fails to meet certain certification standards to notify patients of the failure, recommend that the patient have another mammogram performed, and list the three facilities closest to the original testing facility that have a certified mammography system.
