If you live in Florida, now is the time to contact the State Senators and State Representatives and get this important legislation passed. Emails are the easiest way to show your support of this important legislation.

HB 47: Specific Medical Diagnoses in Child Protective Investigations

RESPECTFULLY asks each State Representative to support this legislation. Ask the Human Services Subcommittee Chair to please place this legislation on the next agenda.

When you email the Representative, be sure to also send the email to their Legislative Assistants as well. Watch the bill, you can put a legislative tracker on this bill and get notifications of the progress.
