Bill > A05330

This bill establishes a comprehensive uterine fibroids awareness and education program through the state's public health department, focused on addressing the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine fibroids, with specific emphasis on the elevated health risks for minority women. The program requires the department to develop and distribute educational materials about uterine fibroids to healthcare providers and patients, and to make this information available on their website. The department must periodically review and update the information based on the most current data, ensuring that the materials remain accurate and relevant. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department submit a report every three years to state leadership (the governor, senate president, and assembly speaker) detailing the program's implementation and offering recommendations for improvement. The program's implementation is contingent upon available funding, which means actual execution will depend on budgetary allocations. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing for preparatory rule-making to begin immediately upon passage.
