We received word recently that Representative Jan Schakowsky will be introducing the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act as early as next Tuesday, February 21. Because of this development, we need to keep up the continued momentum begun during Washington Seminar. Our goal is to build the number of originating cosponsors for this legislation.

Please have your representatives contact Gidget Benitez from Representative Schakowsky’s office at gidget.benitez at mail.house.gov to sign on as an original cosponsor.
