AI Summary
This bill aims to educate patients on environmental health risks, such as exposure to non-ionizing radiation (e.g., from wireless devices) and technology addiction. It requires health insurance policies to cover annual physical exams that include queries and education on these topics, as well as exposure to chemicals, mold, and other environmental factors that may impact medical conditions. The bill also directs the state's Department of Public Health to maintain a registry of non-ionizing radiation consultants and set guidelines for their qualifications and measurement services.
