Currently, there is a pilot program established in two locations within the State relating to prostate cancer screening and treatment, as well as education, for men residing in this State. The program sunset on August 28, 2017, and terminated September 1 of the following year.
This bill removes the expiration and provides that this program is not subject to the provisions of the Missouri Sunset Act.
Additionally, the bill provides that the program may provide prostate-specific antigen testing, referrals for mental health assessments, and support group services through the establishment of support groups for men suffering from prostate cancer, in addition to services already provided by the program.
