Summary

The bill creates new continuing‑education credit rules for physicians and osteopathic physicians who complete menopause‑related courses, and forces health‑care service plans and insurers to cover prescription drugs and treatments for perimenopause and menopause. It also defines a “qualifying physician” and limits the credit to eight hours. The measure was vetoed by the governor and is no longer moving forward.
