The bill would require annual reporting by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and would require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide administrative support to the council. It is assumed that any costs related to administrative support or reporting requirements would be absorbed within the existing budgets of the agencies. Reimbursement for any travel expenses of council members would not be permissible without specific authorization in the General Appropriations Act.
