HB 1982 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to awareness of certain pediatric disorders

HB 1982 designates March 26th of each year as "Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS)/Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS) Awareness Day" in Missouri. The bill encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events and activities raising awareness about these specific pediatric disorders. It does not create new programs, funding, or requirements - only establishes a symbolic observance date. The measure directly affects Missouri residents by designating an annual day for public education on these conditions. This is a procedural bill with no substantive policy changes beyond the awareness designation.
