Bill > HB2049

This bill establishes the State Uterine Fibroids Commission, a new body composed of eleven members appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the Speaker of the Senate, with representation from various medical organizations, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and individuals diagnosed with uterine fibroids or related conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. The commission will operate under bylaws, with members serving without compensation except for legislative members who receive per diem and travel reimbursement, and will be responsible for evaluating existing efforts, supporting research and reporting on uterine fibroids and related conditions, advising the Governor and Department of Health, reviewing state regulations, holding public hearings, and making policy recommendations to improve public health monitoring, research, and solutions for women affected by these conditions, ultimately submitting an annual report to legislative committees.
