An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in powers and duties of the Department of Health and its departmental administrative and advisory boards, providing for perimenopause and menopause education.
This bill (SB 1118) requires Pennsylvania's Department of Health to develop and distribute educational materials about perimenopause and menopause. It mandates partnerships with healthcare providers (like OB/GYNs and community health centers) to create accessible resources covering symptoms, treatments, biological processes, and communication strategies for women approaching or experiencing these stages. The materials must be distributed to women identified by their healthcare providers as entering perimenopause or menopause, available both digitally and physically. The policy directly affects women in Pennsylvania seeking information about these natural life stages and updates the 1929 Administrative Code to include this health education duty.
