Committee backs bill to establish menstrual health screening and provider training program
Summary
AB 3366, which would establish a menstrual health program to screen and assess symptoms related to endometriosis and PCOS and provide resources and training, was favorably released after testimony from Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey.
Assembly Bill 3366 (first reprint) would establish a women's menstrual health program to identify and assess patients with symptoms related to endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The Appropriations Committee favorably released the bill on Sept. 23.
Sarah Best, deputy director of policy and communications at Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey, testified in support and said the organization advocates for accessible education and training so providers can screen for menstrual disorders and connect patients to care. Best told the committee the program would help make information about menstrual disorders “readily available to all residents and health care providers.”
Committee members recorded a roll-call vote and the bill was favorably released.
