***ACTION ALERT - TESTIFY OR SUBMIT WRITTEN TESTIMONY ON HB 2331*** - Hearing on Monday at 2PM
Posted about 2 years ago by Derek Leffert
****ACTION ALERT - HB 2331***
On Monday, April 25th, the Senate Professional Registration Committee will hear testimony on HB 2331, an omnibus health care and licensing bill filed by Rep. Ben Baker. This bill was amended during floor debate to include an APRN license, removal of the geographic proximity barrier, the removal of the rural area of need for APRNs providing telehealth, and the ability to write home health orders. While this is certainly not our entire legislative agenda, it is a significant step in the right direction. As such we are asking for YOUR help.
The hearing will be held at 2PM in the Senate Lounge. We would like to have a strong showing of NPs in support of the measure. If you are able at all to come testify in support, we would welcome and encourage you to do so. If you are not able to attend in person, please consider submitting written testimony to the committee members and ask them to support including the APRN provisions within the existing bill.
To testify in person, please take the elevator to the 3rd floor to the Senate side of the building (east side). Please arrive no later than 1:45.
To submit written testimony, please visit https://www.senate.mo.gov/senatewitnesssystem/ and complete the steps to submit your thoughts.
Personal stories about how these provisions contained within the bill would be highly effective.

Hi Derek: I have emailed all of the Senators; however, was wanting to submit written testimony. Maybe it's user error but I'm unable to do that.
Is anyone planning on going to Jefferson City tomorrow??
I also tried to do a written testimony but all it would allow me to do was sign in and choose for. Trying to contact the senators now
Now I have an email that says once I appear in person, it will be added to the minutes!
I also had issues with submitting written testimony so went ahead and emailed all the members of the committee. I was just looking for any decisions or votes on the bill in the senate committee and am not finding that information.
