Breast Density Notification Bill

http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_20737411/breast-density-notification-bill-its-way-state-assembly

This is an FYI that in California, Senate Bill 1538 which requires health care providers to notify women of dense breast tissue as detected by mammogram is now headed to the  State Assembly and if passed into a law, other states might follow. This could save lives as it will prompt women to go for additional screenings. Does anyone know of similar Bill being filed in New York?
