An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for public health notification programs.
This bill establishes a new state program to educate the public and healthcare providers about medication-induced movement disorders, which are neurological side effects caused by long-term use of certain mental health medications. The Department of Health will lead this initiative in collaboration with various state agencies to create screening guidelines, clinical best practices, and educational materials for doctors and facilities serving at-risk populations. The program also aims to reduce stigma surrounding these conditions by providing awareness resources for the general public and public safety officers, with all information made available online and distributed to healthcare providers.
