Subject: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Breaking News Regarding Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

 

Hi All,

 

I wanted to let you know we have some breaking news regarding the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act. Yesterday, January 18, 2024 the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act was introduced in the United States Senate. It’s bill number is S.3621 and it was introduced by Senator Margret Hassan (D-New Hampshire) and Senator Mike Braun (R-Indiana).

 

This is wonderful news because it’s the first time we have had a Senate bill on the topic, the bill is bipartisan, and it’s very helpful both sponsor and lead cosponsor are on the relevant committee. Great work to all who helped get us to this point!

 

Thanks and we enjoy being with you all in Washington D.C. very soon!
