The bill amends section 381.9312 of the Florida Statutes to enhance the uterine fibroid research database by requiring the Department of Health to include uterine fibroids in its list of diseases as specified under section 381.0031(4). This inclusion aims to improve awareness and research related to uterine fibroids. Additionally, the bill removes the previous prohibition on including personal identifying information in the database, allowing for a more comprehensive collection of data related to women diagnosed with or treated for uterine fibroids.

The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026. The changes made by this bill are intended to facilitate better research and understanding of uterine fibroids, ultimately benefiting public health initiatives and education surrounding this condition.
