This bill establishes an Interagency Council on Menopause within the Department of Health (DOH) to promote and support access to best practice health care for individuals during their menopause transition and post-reproductive years. The council will consist of 15 members, including government officials and various experts, and will work to disseminate evidence-based knowledge, support research, facilitate collaboration, encourage multidisciplinary care, and develop state-supported treatment services related to perimenopause, menopause, and post-reproductive health. Additionally, the bill requires certain licensed healthcare professionals to provide female patients between the ages of 35-39 and 40 and older with evidence-based information on premature menopause, early menopause, primary ovarian insufficiency, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, as prepared and published by the DOH or other recognized healthcare entities.
