What it means

This bill requires the state Department of Public Health to create a diabetes action plan with goals and benchmarks to reduce how often diabetes occurs, improve care and control complications. The department must work with other state health agencies and report by July 1 of each odd-numbered year on the cost of diabetes, how many people have it, how many are in prevention programs, progress toward goals, funding needs and any recommended laws.
