Baker Act (1195) passes House Health Care Access Committee

HB 1195 passed the House Healthcare Access Committee 13 to 0. All present voted to pass our bill which will add ARNPs to list of professionals that can sign Backer act forms. Next is the House Judiciary Committee. Work has only begun on passing this bill. Senate Bill (SB 1750)  is waiting for asignment to committee. If we pass the House Judiciary Committee the last stop, before full House vote, will be Health & Human Services Committee. Thanks to all that called and emailed it has made a big difference. We will be sending out list of the judiciary Committe and hopefully the Senate Bill will be assigned this week. Please keep  phone lines and emails going. Each one of us can and will make a difference.
