Bill > SB297

This bill designates October of each year as "Menopause Awareness Month" in Nevada, requiring the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to promote understanding and awareness of menopause. The proclamation will call upon various entities including news media, healthcare providers, educators, nonprofit groups, foundations, and governmental officers to achieve two primary goals: first, to share factual information and educational programs about menopause with Nevada residents, and second, to promote access to quality healthcare during menopause to support the optimal health and well-being of Nevadans. This legislation builds upon existing state law that recognizes various days, weeks, and months of observance, and is designed to increase public knowledge and support for individuals experiencing menopause. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, marking a formal recognition of the importance of menopause awareness and healthcare support.
