What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each physician who specializes in general pediatrics or a

pediatric specialty to view not less than two hours of live presentations or webinars

about neuroimmune disorders in children, including pediatric acute-onset

neuropsychiatric syndrome and autoimmune encephalitis, by January 1, 2022. Also,

under the bill, the Department of Health Services must consult with the Medical

Examining Board to designate live presentations and webinars about child

neuroimmune disorders, must designate the dates on which the live presentations

and webinars will be held, and must make information about the presentations and

webinars available on its Internet site. The bill requires that the live presentations

and webinars that DHS designates must be approved by the examining board as

satisfying continuing education requirements for physicians.
