Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening Program
Governor Beshear signed HB 415, the Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening Act, into law on April 15, 2008 in Frankfort. This bill established a colon cancer screening program within the Kentucky Department of Public Health to provide screening services to uninsured individuals age 50 to 64 and others at high risk. The bill has not yet been funded.
