Bill > HB1025

This bill requires the Mississippi State Department of Health to develop comprehensive written materials about preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage. The materials must include information about the population most at risk, specific risk factors, early signs and symptoms, and treatment and management strategies. The department is mandated to distribute these materials to physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers serving pregnant women, and also make the information available electronically on their website. Additionally, these healthcare providers must provide and thoroughly explain these preeclampsia information materials to pregnant women during their initial pregnancy visit. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that pregnant women in Mississippi will receive critical education about this potentially dangerous pregnancy condition, potentially improving early detection and management of preeclampsia.
