Legislation
- The Council is governed by the provisions of Public Law 92-463,
as amended, 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2, which sets forth the standards
for the formation and use of advisory committees. The Council, originally
authorized in 1986 for ten years, has successively been extended
through various legislative enactments. The "Health Professions
Education Partnerships Act of 1998," redesignated the authority
for the Council as Section 762 (42 U.S. Code 294o), of the Public
Health Service Act. That authorization for the Council expired in
2002. Since then, the Council has been extended through successive
annual appropriations governing the Department of Health and Human
Services.”
