WELCOME & GREAT NEWS:
January 6, 2010 -- Connor's Law cleared its second major hurdle today, passing by a vote of 213 to 147 in the NH House of Representatives. A warm thanks to lead sponsor Rep. Suzanne Butcher (D-Keene) and to Rep. Susi Nord (D-Candia) of the House Committee on Commerce. Both spoke eloquently on behalf of the bill at today's session. Both have been tireless in working with family advocates to craft a well thought out approach to obtaining fair and reasonable health insurance coverage for those with ASD.
Thanks, too, to the many parents and providers who called their local Representative to share their stories and to speak on behalf of this bill. You were heard! And thank you to the 213 Representatives who voted with us.
Now it's on to the Senate. Please check this site again soon for more details.
