Relating to the establishment of a higher education plan for human papillomavirus education and prevention.

HB 1787 requires the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to create a state plan and educational program focused on human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention, education, and treatment for students at Texas colleges and universities. The plan must address disproportionate impacts on specific demographic groups, incorporate input from health advocates and agencies, and be updated every five years. The program will include campus health education, public awareness campaigns, and online resources detailing HPV prevention, detection, treatment options, risk factors, and transmission methods. This bill directly affects all students enrolled in Texas institutions of higher education by promoting targeted health information and services.
