Relating to the creation of a public information campaign to raise awareness of the Texas Compassionate Use Program.

HB 3729 creates a public awareness campaign to inform eligible patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers about Texas' Compassionate Use Program, which provides legal access to low-THC cannabis for certain medical conditions. The bill requires the health department to develop a multi-channel campaign using websites, social media, TV/radio ads, print materials, and partnerships with medical groups to share evidence-based information on program eligibility and access. The campaign must be funded through existing appropriations, grants, or donations, with annual reports to the legislature measuring public awareness and campaign effectiveness. It directly affects patients with qualifying medical conditions, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals who may not currently know about the program.
