CALL TO ACTION! - Please Act! See post from Dr. Hotze
Time is Running Out!
Please call Sen. Joan Huffman regarding HB 732;
Rep. Brian McCall regarding CSSB 2397!
May 22, 2009
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Greetings! Time is running out in the Texas Legislature. To have any chance of revising the Texas Medical Practice Act we must press the battle and contact the following legislators:
1) Please call and send e-mails to Senator Joan Huffman’s office and ask her to allow Senator Patrick to amend HB 732 which she is co-sponsoring in the Senate. She has refused thus far. Senator Patrick wants to amend some provisions from HB 3816 onto HB 732. These amendments would provide transparency of the TMB’s actions, ensure legal due process and protect patients’ and physicians’ rights.
Sen. Joan Huffman - (o) 512.463.0117
Emails
Sen. Huffman:joan.huffman@senate.state.tx.us
Legislative Director:jonathan.stinson@senate.state.tx.us
Legislative Aide, Health Policy:Kyle.kamrath@senate.state.tx.us
2) CSSB 2397 is the vehicle which contains key provisions from CSHB 3816. In order for it to have any chance of passage by the Texas Legislature, it must be placed on Major State Calendar by Calendars Committee Chairman, Rep. Brian McCall. If it is placed on the General Calendar there are too many bills ahead of it to give it a chance to be passed.
Please contact Rep. Brian McCall today and ask him to place CSSB 2397 on Major State Calendar:

Sincerely yours
