The Brief A 2022 law set up a uterine fibroid research database to help women and doctors, but years’ worth of data became useless due to an error. Lawmakers approved it, Governor Ron DeSantis signed it, but the law never actually got implemented four years ago to establish the uterine fibroid research database. What we know:The original bill’s sponsor, former state representative Anika Omphroy, said she wanted to create a uterine research database to help track the prevalence of uterine fibroids and treatments, plus educate women about what they are. She found that out after leaving office when State Representative Lisa Dunkley followed up on progress with the database. What Representative Dunkley is doing is she's going back in there and getting those funds that they sent back without reason."
