[New-York-News] [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Updated Cosponsor Count for Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act in House

Wed Feb 14 21:52:48 UTC 2024

Luis, Yes.  This bill, the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, HR 1328, was sent to the House Energy and Commerce committee in 2023.  On March 10, 2023, ,  this bill was referred to the subcommittee on Health.  There was also a bill recently introduced in the senate on this issue.  As far as the prospect of the bill going to the floor for a vote, I could not say.  Chris.

Hi All,

We are doing great work on increasing the cosponsor count on the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act in the House of Representatives. Yesterday we gained the following 11 new cosponsors to H.R. 1328:

Rep. Himes, James A. [D-CT-4]

Rep. Sherman, Brad [D-CA-32]

Rep. Ivey, Glenn [D-MD-4]

Rep. Neguse, Joe [D-CO-2]

Rep. Pettersen, Brittany [D-CO-7]

Rep. Davis, Donald G. [D-NC-1]

Rep. Caraveo, Yadira [D-CO-8]

Rep. Stansbury, Melanie Ann [D-NM-1]

Rep. Kean, Thomas H. [R-NJ-7]

Rep. Mullin, Kevin [D-CA-15]

Rep. Takano, Mark [D-CA-39]

This means we are now up to 72 cosponsors on H.R. 1328 which is wonderful news. We need to keep up the great work on both H.R. 1328 and S.3621. These cosponsor increases are a direct result of our great meetings we had during Washington Seminar so I’m sure more will be coming in soon.

Thanks,

Justin T. Young, Ed.D
