Dear Mr. Speaker and Fellow Members:
The Committee on Public Health of the Eighty-second Legislature hereby submits its interim report
including the committee's findings and policy recommendations for consideration by the Eighty-third
Legislature. The committee held six public hearings, logging in over 45 hours, on the interim charges and
gathered a broad requisite of knowledge from the leading experts and leaders in all the policy areas
outlined by the interim charges. We hope this report will be a useful guide and point of reference for the
policies developed and considered by the Eighty-third Legislature.
We thank you for providing this committee the opportunity to serve the people of Texas by studying these
important issues of public health for all Texans during these challenging times.
Respectfully submitted,
