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.

The Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 260 governing boarding home facilities Section 260.003, requires the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to develop and publish model standards for the operations of a boarding home facility, and it specifies that these standards must address elements such as construction, fire safety, sanitary conditions, reporting and investigation of injuries and incidents, staff education, and assessment of residents.

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