HD 3919 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act improving maternal and child health related to Hyperemesis Gravidarum

This bill creates a special legislative commission to study and recommend improvements for care of individuals experiencing Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting condition. The commission, composed of diverse health professionals, patients, advocates, and officials, will examine insurance coverage barriers for HG treatments, provider training gaps, paid leave policies, public awareness, and research needs. It will develop recommendations for legislative action by September 2026 to address these areas. The commission's work directly aims to improve support and resources for people affected by HG, particularly in underserved communities. This is a procedural bill establishing a study group, not an immediate policy change.
