BILL NUMBER: S8097

SPONSOR: PERSAUD
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to establishing a
blood clot and pulmonary embolism policy workgroup; and providing for
the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE:

To establish a blood clot policy workgroup which would ultimately raise
awareness of blood clots, treatments, and policy solutions to dispari-
ties in accessing such treatments

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends section 206 of the public health law to add
a new subdivision 32, which would direct the commissioner of health to
establish a blood clot and pulmonary embolism policy workgroup. The
workgroup shall be composed of two members appointed by the Temporary
President of the Senate, two members appointed by the Speaker of the

Assembly, two members appointed by the Governor, and a chair appointed
by the commissioner. Such members shall be health care providers,
patients who have experienced blood clots, family members of patients
who have died from blood clots, advocates, and other interested parties.
The workgroup shall identify the number of people in the state who expe-
rience blood clots each year, identify how such data is collected,
develop policy recommendations, among other related work.

Section 2 of the bill sets the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

According to the National Blood Clot Alliance, on average, 274 people
die each day from blood clots, amounting to 1 person every 6 minutes.
Despite this, blood clots and their causes are understudied, and policy
solutions remain underdeveloped and unexplored. A policy workgroup
composed of relevant experts and stakeholders would go far in raising
awareness of blood clots and exploring methods of reducing their
frequency on a large scale.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPACT ON THE STATE:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
