S.B. No. 1677 mandates a study on the prevention and reduction of diabetes-related amputations, to be conducted by a designated institution of higher education with a high research designation. The study will involve collaboration with the Texas Department of State Health Services and will focus on identifying information about diabetes-related amputations, developing recommendations for prevention, increasing public awareness, and ensuring access to necessary treatments. The institution is required to consult with various experts, including healthcare professionals and individuals affected by diabetes, to gather comprehensive insights.

The bill stipulates that the designated institution must submit a report summarizing the study's findings and recommendations to the Department of State Health Services by September 1, 2026. This report will be made publicly available on the department's website, including the data and methodologies used in the study. The act is set to expire on September 1, 2027, and will take effect on September 1, 2025.
