The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 568, aims to establish a task force dedicated to developing a comprehensive state-wide plan to address and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). This initiative is introduced by Senators Cohen and Gordon, along with Representative Rader, and is referred to the Public Health Committee for further consideration.

The bill includes new legal language that mandates the creation of this task force, which will focus on strategies to mitigate the health impacts of VTE. There are no deletions from current law specified in the text of the bill. The overarching goal is to enhance public health outcomes related to this condition through coordinated efforts and planning.
