The bill, S. 535, introduced in the South Carolina Senate, aims to recognize the significant impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) on the health and well-being of women and girls in the state. It declares September as "PCOS Awareness Month" to raise awareness about this serious genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive disorder that affects nearly fifteen percent of women and girls in South Carolina. The resolution highlights the health risks associated with PCOS, including infertility, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other serious conditions, as well as the economic burden it places on the healthcare system.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of early detection, improved treatment, and increased awareness to enhance health outcomes for those affected by PCOS. It also acknowledges the efforts of advocacy organizations, such as PCOS Challenge: The National Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Association, in promoting research and support for individuals with PCOS. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be forwarded to the Governor and relevant health organizations to encourage statewide recognition and action on this public health issue, and it recognizes Payton Lang, Miss Palmetto 2025, for her advocacy work in this area.
