Uterine fibroids—noncancerous growths in or on the uterus—affect many Utahns, and this bill would direct the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate research and education about them, with those efforts and related reporting duties ending automatically on July 1, 2030 unless lawmakers act to continue them. The department's work would focus on tracking how often fibroids are diagnosed in Utah, at what ages, what treatments patients receive, how many hysterectomies are linked to fibroids, what non-surgical treatment options exist, and how fibroids affect reproductive health, while also educating patients and health care providers about alternatives to hysterectomy. The department could partner with approved medical research organizations and, under existing health data privacy laws, share identifiable health data with them to support this research. The department would be required to report its findings, data, and any policy or legislative recommendations to the Legislature's Health and Human Services Interim Committee by November 1, 2028 and again by November 1, 2029.
