Uterine Fibroid Amendments

HB 598 requires Utah's Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate research and education about uterine fibroids, a non-cancerous uterine growth affecting many people. The department must study diagnosis rates, treatment options (including non-hysterectomy care), and reproductive impacts, while coordinating with medical research organizations and sharing data under privacy rules. It mandates reports to the Health and Human Services Interim Committee in 2028 and 2029, and the law expires on July 1, 2030. The bill directly affects patients, healthcare providers, and researchers in Utah, focusing on improving understanding and treatment options for uterine fibroids without appropriating new funds.
