The bill amends section 381.9312 of the Florida Statutes to require the Department of Health to include uterine fibroids in a specified list of diseases. This inclusion aims to enhance the uterine fibroid research database, which is intended to improve education and public awareness regarding this condition. The bill specifies that the information included in the database will adhere to the guidelines set forth in section 381.0031.

Additionally, the bill removes the provision that previously stated the database may not include any personal identifying information of women diagnosed with or treated for uterine fibroids. This change may allow for a more comprehensive collection of data related to uterine fibroids, potentially aiding in research and treatment efforts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
