[NFBOH-Cleveland] Legislative Alert: Testimonies are needed in support of HB 382

[smturner.234 at gmail.com]

Good afternoon, Ohio,

 

Per Ohio's Affiliate President, Richard Payne, and Envision America, I am
asking all to read and provide testimony asap on the accessible labeling
bill. 

 

We have a great opportunity to get this finally passed. I want to give you
an example of why this is crucial.

 

Two of the Cleveland Chapter members were given drugs that could have been
fatal, due to the pharmacy inability to provide accessible information. One
member has currently suffered kidney damage as a result of providing
inaccurate dosage. Therefore, it is important that we have a prescription
bill put in place to protect the blind and our loved ones. 

 

Here is, Sharla Glass, who is the Public Policy and Community Outreach
Liaison for En-Vision America note below.

 

Also attached, is Rep. Brown's sponsor testimony, as well as the text and
analysis documents for HB 382.

 

President, Payne will represent the NFB of Ohio on Wednesday!

Once you have prepared your testimony, email or please fill out the attached
witness form and submit it to ohrinsurancecommittee at ohiohouse.gov
<mailto:ohrinsurancecommittee at ohiohouse.gov>  or send it to President Payne.


 

Finally, if anyone needs assistance, let me know!

Friends, 

 

This is exciting news!  Many of you may already know about it, but just in
case you haven't I wanted to let you know!  

 

The accessible labeling bill has been reintroduced under a new bill number
and has a hearing this week!  This bill would require insurance coverage of
accessible prescription readers.  They are seeking testimony which needs to
be turned in by 10am Tuesday morning.  I have attached the witness form that
you would need to return along with your testimony to
ohrinsurancecommittee at ohiohouse.gov
<mailto:ohrinsurancecommittee at ohiohouse.gov> .

 

Here is a link to bill HB 382:

Kind Regards,
