Requires menopause informational pamphlet to be distributed under certain circumstances.
This bill requires licensed healthcare providers in New Jersey to give female patients aged 35-39 a pamphlet about menopause during their annual physical exams, starting 180 days after the law takes effect. The Department of Health must create and publish an online pamphlet detailing all menopause stages within 90 days of the law's effective date. It directly affects women aged 35-39 receiving annual physicals and healthcare providers who conduct those exams. The law mandates the distribution of standardized educational materials without altering medical practice standards. The bill focuses on providing accessible information about menopause-related conditions during routine preventive care visits.
