House Bill No. by Representative Walters aims to establish a Uterine Fibroids Research Center within the Southern University system. The bill amends R.S. 17:3216 to create this center under the supervision and management of the Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. The center will focus on conducting research related to the causes and prevention of uterine fibroids, educating the community about its findings, and providing relevant services that do not require the involvement of obstetrician-gynecologists.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the research center will be funded through various sources, including legislative appropriations, federal funds, donations, and grants. The center's staff will also be tasked with establishing relationships with the Louisiana Department of Health and other universities and organizations. The provisions of this act are set to be implemented starting with the fall semester.
