Bill > AB1648

This bill establishes the California Epilepsy Program within the State Department of Public Health to conduct studies on how common epilepsy, a brain disorder characterized by seizures, is across the state. The program will collect and analyze data on epilepsy and seizures, and the department is authorized to accept funding from various sources, including grants and donations, to support these efforts. To guide the program, the department will form an advisory panel of experts, including doctors, researchers, and patient advocates. The department can also work with other organizations, such as health departments or non-profits, to gather information. Finally, the department will publish reports on its findings and a list of agencies, both public and private, that provide services to individuals with epilepsy on its website.
