H 2441 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to diabetes prevention

HD 3662 requires Massachusetts' Department of Public Health to create a Diabetes Action Plan in collaboration with state health agencies. The plan must set goals to reduce diabetes incidence, improve care, and control complications, with specific metrics on diabetes impact and prevention program effectiveness. The department must submit biennial reports to legislative committees detailing diabetes prevalence, program participation, financial costs, progress toward goals, and funding needs. This bill directly affects state health agencies responsible for developing and reporting on the plan, and indirectly impacts all Massachusetts residents affected by diabetes through improved public health planning. The law mandates concrete reporting requirements but does not change individual rights or impose new obligations on citizens.
