This bill mandates that licensed health care professionals provide specific menopause-related information to female patients aged 40 and older during their annual physical examinations. Starting 180 days after the bill's effective date, these professionals are required to distribute an informational pamphlet on perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, which will be prepared and published by the Department of Health.
Additionally, the Department of Health is tasked with creating and publishing this informational pamphlet on its website within 90 days of the bill's effective date. The intent of the bill is to ensure that women receive essential information regarding menopause during their health check-ups, thereby promoting awareness and education on this significant life stage.
