What's In a Number? HB 233

Everything!  Every time you contact a Legislator to discuss our bill - whether by email, phone, letter, or in person - mention the bill number.  Bill numbers are easier for Legislators (and the rest of us!) to remember than lengthy titles. 

Our bill has been numbered.  The number is HB 233 and the official title is "Insurance Coverage for Amino Acid Based Formula".  You want your Representatives to SUPPORT HB 233.

The letters 'HB' represent the fact that the bill will orginiate in the House (House Bill).  This means it will go through House committees, then the full House before moving on to the Senate.  The number is random and reflects that this was the 233rd bill filed in the House this year.  As you can surmise, our Legislators are busy folks who have a lot to consider.  Please help make HB 233 stand out in their minds!
