State Parity Campaigns Still Going Strong!

We have already had several victories this year. HB 2244 was signed into law on April 6th. HF 311 was signed in Iowa on April 24th. In addition, SB 1116 passed out of the Virginia House and Senate, as did SB 341 and HB 579 in Maryland. They are just awaiting signatures from the Governor's office. There are another 12 state legislatures working to advance some type of legislation to expand coverage for prosthetic devices and components. We will continue to work hard to support these efforts in order to ensure that amputees get the care they need.

We would like to thank Frank Snell (AR), Doug Call (VA), Charlie Coulter (VA), Rod Cheney (IA), Gary Cheney (IA) and Albertha Jackson-Smith (MD) for their hard work and dedication!

Get involved by contacting us at state@amputee-coalition.org or 202/742-1885.
