HR 8049 Florida House · 2026 Regular Session

Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month

This bill designates July 2026 as "Fibroid Awareness Month" in Florida through a ceremonial resolution. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about uterine fibroids - benign tumors affecting up to 80% of women by age 50 - which cause symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain. The resolution highlights existing efforts to promote early diagnosis, research, and treatment options for this common condition. As a symbolic gesture, it has no enforceable provisions or direct impact on healthcare policy.
