HR 2717 United States House · 119th Congress

Servicewomen and Veterans Menopause Research Act

This bill requires the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to evaluate existing and ongoing research on menopause, perimenopause, and mid-life health for women in the military and as veterans. It directs them to identify gaps in knowledge about treatments, the impact of military service (including combat roles and exposure to toxins like burn pits), mental health effects, and healthcare provider training needs. Within 180 days of enactment, the departments must submit a report with findings and a strategic plan to address identified gaps and prioritize future research. The bill ensures this work supplements, rather than duplicates, existing efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services.
