Bill > HB1786

This bill establishes a Women's Health Advisory Committee within the Texas state government to provide recommendations on women's health programs. The executive commissioner will be responsible for creating this committee by December 1, 2025, and will appoint members who are primarily health care providers actively participating in women's health programs across different geographic areas of Texas. The committee must have a majority of members who are experienced health care providers, with the possibility of also including additional members from the women's health industry who have expertise in best practices. The executive commissioner has discretion in selecting committee members who can offer valuable insights into women's health programs. The bill specifically exempts this advisory committee from certain standard advisory committee regulations (Section 2110.008) and sets a sunset date for the establishment process of September 1, 2026. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation of this new advisory committee.
