Reports and Presentations

A legislative report is annually submitted by the PANS Advisory Council to the Legislature and Governor for recommendations, education, and outreach concerning pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome.

This report provides important background on complex issues, including previous relevant legislation; the current landscape of group home regulation, including HHSC boarding home standards adopted at the local level; and recommendations for policymakers on how to potentially improve health and safety standards in these and other unregulated settings.

The Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Advisory Council developed the 2022 Legislative Report, as required by House Bill 2783 (2019).
