Bill > S2080

This bill aims to increase medical awareness and insurance coverage of non-ionizing radiation injury and reliance upon credible independent medical research. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Defining "reasonable interpretations from scientific knowledge" and "clearly credible laboratory and epidemiological scientific studies" to guide medical recommendations and assessments of risk. 2. Requiring continuing education for physicians on the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients impacted by non-ionizing radiation, recognizing Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) as a functional impairment and the need to avoid exposure to man-made non-ionizing radiation unless proven medical benefit and patient approval is acquired. 3. Mandating insurance coverage for non-ionizing radiation reduction guidance, diagnosis and treatment of EHS, nutritional analysis and supplementation for relevant medical conditions, and patient education regarding non-ionizing radiation risks and protective measures. 4. Establishing standards for assessing, tracking, and reducing non-thermal non-ionizing radiation exposures in healthcare settings to strengthen non-ionizing radiation reduction education and protection for patients and staff.
