What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill establishes a council in the Department of Health Services to advise

the department on research, diagnosis, treatment, and education relating to

pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal

infections, commonly referred to as PANDAS, and pediatric acute-onset

neuropsychiatric syndrome, commonly referred to as PANS. Under the bill, in

addition to advising DHS, the council must also prepare an annual report to the

legislature with its recommendations regarding 1) practice guidelines for the

diagnosis and treatment of PANDAS and PANS; 2) mechanisms to increase clinical

awareness and education among physicians, including pediatricians, school-based

health centers, and providers of mental health services; 3) outreach to educators and

parents to increase awareness; and 4) development of a network of volunteer experts

to assist in education and outreach.
