Menopause Workplace Mandates Are Becoming Law. Is Your Organization Ready?

The Menopause Education Center’s comprehensive legislative report tracks every enacted law, active bill, and emerging policy across all 50 states, updated through June 4, 2026.

As of June 2026, menopause-related legislation has been introduced in more than 20 states, one municipality, and at the federal level. Ten states and one municipality have already enacted laws covering workplace accommodations, insurance coverage, and provider training, with 70 active bills advancing through 14 state legislatures.

Rhode Island made history as the first state to mandate workplace accommodations for menopause. Washington became the first state to issue an executive order directing workplace policy review. Virginia and Maryland enacted insurance coverage laws this spring. California’s workplace protection bill is on its way to the Governor’s desk.
