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