HB 7394 Peer support counselor confidentiality bill passes unanimously in the House today

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!!!!

It has just come to our attention last night there is an effort by a special interest group trying to kill our PTSD bill.

We need to flood the legislature with members Thursday, Friday and in the upcoming days to show our support for the bill.

ALL MEMBERS & THEIR FAMILIES ARE URGED TO CALL THEIR LEGISLATORS AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT SB 164.

This bill is too important to our health and safety to let special interests attempt to sabotage it.

ALL UPFFA District Vice Presidents are asked to recruit 20 members per day for this action.

UPFFA DISTRICT VICE PRESIDENTS are asked to coordinate the mobilization with Rick Hart @ 203.232.4792.
