The 2023-24 legislative cycle will be done in a few months. We still have time to get the direct access bills out of the Senate Consumer Protection and Licensure Committee as well as the House Licensure Committee. We need your assistance!!
Below please find 2 methods to identify your Pa State Senator and Representative. You will also see a template you could consider cutting and pasting into an email. Please consider taking a moment to reach out via email or if you desire by phone, or a personal visit.
We have been active legislatively in a defensive posture but with a push during this election period we have the potential to move the profession forward. Thank you in advance for this as well as all you do.
Below is information you can use to contact your legislator about SB 11042 and HB 1491 which will modernize direct access in Pennsylvania.
