Bill > HB623

This bill designates March 26th of each year as "Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS)/Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS) Awareness Day" in the state of Missouri. PANS and PANDAS are complex pediatric disorders characterized by sudden onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms, often triggered by infections like strep throat. The bill encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events and activities aimed at raising awareness about these disorders, which can cause significant challenges for affected children and their families. By creating an official awareness day, the legislation seeks to promote public understanding, support research, and potentially improve recognition and treatment of these conditions.
