The Medical<br>Device Non Visual Accessibility Act, which had strong support in the 117th<br>Congress has now been launched in the 118th Congress with a large<br>originating co-sponsor base. The bill already has 32 members of the House of<br>Representatives agreeing to support the bill, including 2 here in Florida.<br>We are grateful to Rep. John Rutherford, (R-5) and Rep. Sheila<br>Cherfilus-McCormick, (D-20) for reaffirming their support for MDNVAA. I am<br>very confident that more of Florida's House members will be adding their<br>names to this bill soon, but, it will take an effort from all of us to make<br>this happen.<br><br>The bill does not appear to have been assigned an "HR" bill number as yet,<br>but we should see one soon. I will let you know what that assignment number<br>is as soon as that information is released by the House.<br><br>Please click the link below to read the press release from Congresswoman<br>Schakowsky's office.<br><br>Thanks so very much to our terrific Florida legislative advocacy team for<br>keeping me informed about the exciting news from yesterday.<br><br><a href="http://schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-releases/schakowsky-reintroduces-leg" target="_blank">http://schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-releases/schakowsky-reintroduces-leg</a><br>islation-guarantee-home-use-medical-devices-are<br><br>Very Respectfully,<br><br>Russ Davis, Legislative Director<br>National Federation o the Blind of Florida<br>Ph. 904-993-8433<br>Email: <a href="mailto:russell@radiorusty.com" target="_blank">russell@radiorusty.com</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>NFBF-L mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NFBF-L@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">NFBF-L@nfbnet.org</a><br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org</a><br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBF-L:<br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org/thunderwalker321%40gmail.com" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org/thunderwalker321%40gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>NHLakesChapter mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NHLakesChapter@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">NHLakesChapter@nfbnet.org</a><br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nhlakeschapter_nfbnet.org" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nhlakeschapter_nfbnet.org</a><br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NHLakesChapter:<br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nhlakeschapter_nfbnet.org/fred.fournier.jr%40gmail.com" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nhlakeschapter_nfbnet.org/fred.fournier.jr%40gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
