H 4625 - An Act establishing Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day

Overview

Bill Number: H 4625
Title: An Act establishing Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day
Status: Hearing rescheduled to 11/05/2025 from 10:30 AM-01:00 PM in B-2 and Virtual Hearing location changed
Introduced: July 23, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This bill aims to establish an annual "Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day" in the state to increase public awareness and education about lobular breast cancer. Lobular breast cancer is a less common but more aggressive form of breast cancer that often goes undetected by traditional screening methods. By designating a specific day to highlight this issue, the bill seeks to improve early detection, treatment, and support for those affected by this disease.

Key Provisions

  • Designates October 1st as "Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day" in the state
  • Requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing the day
  • Directs the Department of Public Health to develop and distribute educational materials about lobular breast cancer
  • Encourages healthcare providers to conduct outreach and offer screenings on Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day
  • Calls for the state to partner with patient advocacy groups to organize awareness events and activities

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Individuals at risk of or diagnosed with lobular breast cancer, who would benefit from increased awareness and early detection
  • Healthcare providers, who would receive guidance and resources to better identify and treat lobular breast cancer
  • The general public, who would gain greater understanding of this less common but serious form of breast cancer

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The bill is currently scheduled for a public hearing on November 5, 2025 from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available. If passed by the legislature, the first annual Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day would be observed on October 1, 2026.
