MINOR
This bill was amended to update the legislative history, adding a co-sponsor and recording committee actions. The substantive text was reorganized to fix a formatting error where the 'Whereas' clauses were split across pages, and the deadlines for establishing the menopause education program and submitting reports were adjusted to reflect the current fiscal year.
TIMELINE
The deadline to establish the menopause education program was moved from July 2027 to July 2028, and the first annual report deadline was moved from January 2028 to January 2029.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was restructured to correct a layout error where the introductory 'Whereas' clauses were incorrectly split between two pages, ensuring the full context is now on the first page.
Numerical figures in the 'Whereas' clauses were converted from digits to written words (e.g., '7 to 9 years' became 'seven to nine years').
