Task force on women's medical procedural pain established, and report required.
This bill establishes a task force to study pain associated with specific medical procedures for women, including cesarean sections, biopsies, and intrauterine device insertions. The task force will consist of medical professionals, pain management experts, and women who have experienced these procedures, with members serving without pay but receiving expense reimbursement. Its main duties include collecting data on these procedures, gathering input from patients and providers, and exploring ways to reduce the need for these procedures or find alternatives. The group must meet at least quarterly and submit a final report to state legislators by January 1, 2028, after which the task force will disband.
