Everyone's favorite Senate Bill, 419 (previously discussed here, here, and here), is currently languishing in Calendars. If it doesn't get out of there, it will die. At the least, the insurance industry gets to avoid covering even the relatively meager expenses for speech and occupational therapy. At the most, any chance of getting ABA put back in is lost for good.
I've listed the Calendars Committee membership below. I know I've already asked a lot, but if you're represented by any of the following people (hell, even if you aren't, it's a committee after all), please call them and ask them to put SB 419 on the calendar. It'll only take a couple of minutes.
Rep. Beverly Woolley - (512) 463-0696
Rep. Norma Chavez - (512) 463-0622
Rep. Dan Branch - (512) 463-0367
Rep. Myra Crownover - (512) 463-0582
Rep. Dawnna Dukes - (512) 463-0506
Rep. Gary Elkins - (512) 463-0722
Rep. Ryan Guillen - (512) 463-0416
Rep. Mike "Tuffy" Hamilton - (512) 463-0412
Rep, Larry Taylor...oh, never mind
Rep. Sylvester Turner - (512) 463-0554
Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale - (512) 463-0661
How convenient that Taylor is on both the committees that have screwed this bill. In any event, we won't know if we don't try, right?
Yeah.
