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 include provisions for the center, which will be supervised and managed by the Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. The center's primary purposes will be to conduct research on the causes and prevention of uterine fibroids, educate the community about the findings, and provide 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 is expected to foster relationships with the Louisiana Department of Health, other universities, and national and international organizations to enhance its research capabilities. The implementation of this act is set to begin with the fall semester.
