Know Your Body Act

The Know Your Body Act requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create and regularly update accessible, medically accurate educational materials about uterine, ovarian, and related hormonal disorders (such as endometriosis and fibroids) for elementary and secondary schools. These materials must cover symptoms, life impacts, statistics, patient advocacy guidance, and treatment options. Schools would receive guidance on integrating the materials into curricula or distributing them to students, with updates mandated every five years. The bill directly affects schools and students by providing standardized resources on specific health conditions often under-discussed in educational settings.
