Requires menopause information to be distributed under certain circumstances.
This bill requires licensed health care professionals to provide a Department of Health-prepared pamphlet about perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause to female patients aged 40 or older during annual physical examinations, starting 180 days after the law takes effect. The Department of Health must create and publish this pamphlet online within 90 days of the law's effective date. It directly affects healthcare providers performing annual exams for women over 40 and their patients. The policy mandates this information distribution as a standard part of routine care, with no additional costs or requirements specified for providers.
