HB 1553 Florida House · 2025 Regular Session

Uterine Fibroid Research Database

HB 1553 requires the Department of Health (DOH) to include uterine fibroids in a specified list of diseases for research purposes. This mandates the DOH to update its existing research database to cover uterine fibroids specifically. The bill directly affects the DOH's administrative responsibilities in managing health data. It does not change healthcare services, funding, or patient care but supports targeted research on uterine fibroids.
