Senator Hatch’s bill, which passed the Senate unanimously last week, expands access to high quality healthcare services for Utah’s rural communities and facilitates the integration of innovative telehealth models into health delivery systems. “The ECHO Act is a resounding victory for Utah. With a large rural population, this legislation will extend access to high quality health services far beyond the limits of our cities so that all Utahns—no matter where they live—will be able to get the care they need, when they need it.” The ECHO Act marks Senator Hatch’s 40th legislative proposal to pass the Senate this Congress, topping an expansive list of legislative accomplishments that also includes critical reforms to empower local education leaders, strengthen Utah’s transportation infrastructure, and improve our nation’s healthcare system. Senator Hatch currently leads Republicans among bills passed in the Senate this Congress. He has passed 40 bills this Congress alone; the average for all Senators is 21. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
