Bill > HB3961

This bill establishes a comprehensive perimenopause and menopause educational program through the Department of State Health Services to improve public awareness and understanding of women's health during these transitional life stages. The program will focus on educating Texas residents about the symptoms and treatments for perimenopause and menopause, including guidance on when women should seek medical consultation, the physiological processes involved, and strategies for encouraging open discussions about these health experiences. The department is authorized to collaborate with healthcare professionals such as obstetricians, gynecologists, community health centers, and hospitals to develop and implement the program. As part of this initiative, the department will create both written and electronic informational materials that will be made available on their website and distributed at program events. The program is set to be established as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025, with the goal of providing comprehensive, accessible information to help women better understand and navigate perimenopause and menopause.
