House Bill 1325 aims to enhance the understanding and treatment of uterine fibroids in Tennessee by establishing a new section in the Tennessee Code Annotated. The bill mandates the Department of Health to create and maintain an electronic database that collects information on the incidence, prevalence, demographic attributes, and treatment options for uterine fibroids. Healthcare providers are required to submit relevant data regarding diagnoses and treatments to this database, ensuring that no personally identifiable information is included. Additionally, the Department is tasked with incorporating information about uterine fibroids into its women's healthcare educational materials, covering risk factors and alternative treatment options to hysterectomy.

The bill emphasizes the importance of research and education surrounding uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths that commonly affect women during their childbearing years. By facilitating the collection of data and disseminating educational resources, the legislation aims to improve healthcare outcomes for women affected by this condition. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023.
