This law allows certain officials from the state or local agencies to enter and inspect any property, public or private, to check for compliance with laws related to buildings that contain sources of ionizing radiation. These inspections are to ensure safety standards are met according to the State Building Standards Code. If the property is under federal jurisdiction, inspections can only happen with federal permission.

If you're responsible for registering mammography X-ray machines, you must ensure these machines are inspected and undergo quality assurance checks by a qualified professional. These checks should follow guidelines from the 1990 'Rules of Good Practice for Supervision and Operation of Mammographic X-Ray Equipment.'

However, if newer regulations offering equal or better patient safety are introduced after January 1, 1993, the old rules will no longer apply.

This law requires facilities with mammogram machines to display notices of serious violations where patients can see them. A "serious violation" is a major issue that compromises the quality of mammography, identified during an inspection according to certain federal standards.

Once informed of a violation, the facility must put up the notice within two working days. It must stay up for at least five days or until the problem is fixed, whichever is longer.
