HB 347 continues to move forward thanks to the dedication of a few OTPs who are taking time out of their busy schedules to provide public testimony and work with the AKOTA lobbyist. The most recent testimony was provided to the state legislature on Wednesday, March 25. TWO amazing therapists, Jean and Audra, were available to meet this spontaneous request. THANK YOU to you both for clearing your schedule at the last minute! We expect another need for OTPs to step up and testify on either April 8 or April 10 between 1:30PM and 3:00PM. We also applaud every OTP who submitted written testimony and who have been working anonymously in the background to get this important legislation moving forward. THANK YOU!
WE NEED MORE PARTICIPATION from the wonderful practitioners across the state. Please visit our legislative resources or join the next prep group to learn more. If you are interested in helping, but not sure where to start, consider joining us virtually on Saturday, April 4 at 10AM [see the calendar of events for the link]. You do not have to be an AKOTA member to participate.
