The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6593, aims to enhance awareness and education surrounding menopause. It mandates the Department of Public Health to develop and distribute guidelines and educational resources specifically for health care providers about menopause. Additionally, it requires health care providers to complete at least one continuing education module focused on menopause care and management. Furthermore, the bill calls for the Department of Public Health to initiate a public awareness campaign to inform residents about menopause.

The intent of this legislation is to improve the understanding of menopause among both health care providers and the general public, thereby promoting better care and support for individuals experiencing menopause. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new requirements for education and awareness initiatives related to menopause.
