AI Summary
This bill requires healthcare providers to screen mothers for perinatal depression and anxiety during visits within the "perinatal period," which is defined as the time from pregnancy up to one year after birth. Healthcare providers must share relevant data with the State Department of Health, adhering to privacy laws. The Department will create a website and mobile app to provide resources for pregnant women and new mothers, aiming to improve access to healthcare, mental health services, and other support systems. This initiative also includes collecting data on maternal and infant health outcomes, including the prevalence of perinatal mood disorders, and will publish an annual report detailing this information, categorized by demographics, on its website and submit it to state legislative leaders and the Governor, with the act taking effect on November 1, 2026.
