<div dir="ltr"><span>Good Morning Federation Family,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>We learned yesterday that Representative Jan Schakowsky, (D-IL) has</span><br>
<span>re-introduced a bill to guarantee access to information displayed on class</span><br>
<span>2 and class 3 in-home use medical devices to blind Americans. 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>
