HEALTH CARE: Provides for hypertension screening. (gov sig) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill requires healthcare providers offering prenatal and postpartum care to screen pregnant women for high blood pressure and preeclampsia. The screenings must use a validated tool based on guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, but doctors retain the final decision on whether to perform the test based on their professional judgment. The law applies to any medical professional treating women during pregnancy or after childbirth.
