Bill > A02698

This bill amends the New York Public Health Law to establish an awareness campaign focused on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. Specifically, the bill requires the inclusion of comprehensive information about HRT, covering topics such as the nature of perimenopause and menopause, associated symptoms, potential health risks, the therapeutic value of HRT in treating these symptoms, the various types of HRT available, their specific benefits and side effects, and current medical recommendations for HRT usage. The new provision will be added to existing public health law, providing a framework for educating individuals about hormone replacement therapy as a treatment option. The bill will take effect 60 days after becoming law, with immediate authorization for preparing necessary regulations to implement the new informational campaign.
