[Tall-Corn] Urgent Action Regarding Accessible Prescription Label Bill

[Helen Mejia]

Federation Family,

Our accessible prescription label bill made it through the house subcommittee. The next step is that it must be approved by a full committee by February 20; if this does not happen, it is dead for the year.
As of tonight, no committee hearing has been scheduled for the bill. If we want it to move forward, we need to urge the committee to consider it and pass it out of committee prior to the funnel deadline of February 20.
The bill is in the commerce committee since it contains provisions that allow pharmacies to bill insurance companies, meaning it technically has to do with financial transactions.
Below is a list of the members of the house commerce committee. If you click on the links for each name, you will get their legislative pages with their phone numbers and email addresses.
We need as many of us as possible to contact these individuals, and you can ask your friends, family, and neighbors to do so as well. You might say something like:

Dear Representative ____
My name is ____ and I’m a member of the National Federation of the Blind of Iowa. I’m asking that the commerce committee hold a hearing on HF 2033 prior to the first funnel deadline. This bill is important for making sure that all Iowans have the ability to safely manage their own medications and avoid needing unnecessary, and potentially costly, assistance. Please help move this important bill forward this year.
Thank you very much,
