Plain-English Summary
This resolution acknowledges the harmful effects of diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic hormone that was prescribed to pregnant women from the 1930s through 1970s and caused serious health problems for both the women who took it and their children, including increased cancer risk and reproductive issues. The measure recognizes this historical public health failure and may pave the way for future support or compensation for those affected by the drug. It has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.
