Hello All,



Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D. IL 9) has introduced the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, (H.R. 5605), which would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish nonvisual accessibility standards for



certain devices with digital interfaces, and for other purposes.



There are currently 12 cosponsors including Illinois Representatives Jesús

<https://www.congress.gov/member/jesus-garcia/G000586>   García,

<https://www.congress.gov/member/jesus-garcia/G000586>   (D. IL 4) Mike

Quigley (D. IL 5) and Sean Casten (D. IL 6).



Please write to thank Representative Schakowsky and the other representatives for their support.



Also, urge your representative to sign on as a cosponsor.



Thank you.
