CATCH IT Act

This bill changes the Department of Agriculture's Community Facilities Grant Program for rural areas. When a grant project includes buying or upgrading preventative health care equipment, the federal share of the project's cost would go up by 25 percentage points. The bill lists examples of this equipment, including 3-D mammography equipment, mobile cancer screening units, cancer-detection lab equipment, colorectal cancer screening equipment, CT scanners, and diagnostic ultrasound equipment. The changes would start on the first day of the first federal fiscal year beginning on or after the bill becomes law.
