A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled “Public health code,” (MCL 333.1101 to 333.25211) by adding section 5143.
House Bill No. 5804 aims to amend the Public Health Code by establishing an advisory council on pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) within the Michigan Department of Health. This council is to be composed of 15 members, including medical professionals, researchers, representatives from relevant organizations, and a parent of a child diagnosed with PANDAS, all appointed by the department's director for four-year terms. The council's responsibilities include electing officers, meeting as necessary under the open meetings act and freedom of information act, and submitting annual reports to the legislature with recommendations on diagnosis, treatment, awareness, and education regarding PANDAS. After its fourth report, the council will be dissolved.
