The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 9135, which mandates the development and implementation of a menopause transition awareness education program by the department, in consultation with qualified organizations. This program is required to cover various aspects of menopause, including symptoms and changes during the menopausal transition, chronic conditions related to menopause, treatment options available from health professionals, and any additional relevant information deemed necessary for public and professional education.

Furthermore, the department is tasked with disseminating the information from the education program to both health professionals and the public, with the option to post this information on its website. The bill defines "educational program" as the menopause transition awareness education program and identifies "qualified organizations" as the Michigan board of medicine, the Michigan board of osteopathic medicine and surgery, and other organizations focused on women's health during menopause.
