Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Health Services to enter into partnerships with health care providers, including obstetricians and gynecologists, and community health centers and hospitals to educate women on the symptoms, processes, and other issues surrounding perimenopause and menopause so that women may be prepared for perimenopause and menopause. The bill requires DHS to create, in coordination with these partners, informational materials, in electronic and physical form, that may be distributed to or accessed by women who are determined by their health care provider to be experiencing or will soon be experiencing perimenopause and menopause.
