SB114: NP/MD Ratio Bill Passed Senate
Now on to the House Health Committee
Senate Bill 114 - CHANGE IN NP to MD RATIO
Senate Bill 114 has passed the full Alabama Senate unopposed. SB 114 will relax the MD:NP ratio allowing for an MD to collaborate with 9 NPs, CNMs, and PAs. Thus, increasing access to care and health care resources for the residents of Alabama. 

Next step: The bill will be before the House Health Committee on Wednesday, March 11, 2020. What can you do to help push this measure forward?

  1. Come to Montgomery for the House Health Committee Meeting at 1030 on 3.11.20. The more NPs are in front of the Representatives the more they will take notice. Eileen Meyer, VP for Policy and D'Ann Somerall, NPAA President will be at the Senate/House Building at 0800. If you can join us please email D'Ann! president@npalliancealabama.org  
  2. Call or email the members of the House Health Committee. View the flyer with the names and email addresses BEFORE Wednesday. 
  3. Pass this message along to your fellow NPs, friends and family members. The greater the word the greater the impact. 
  4. If you know a NP who is not a member of NPAA encourage them to join.
