HB 354 to end CAPA-CS gains supporters

FRANKFORT, January 2022 -- The supporters of APRNs, and the patients they care for, in both the Kentucky House and Senate are anxious to work together to see the requirements for the CAPA-CS removed so that access to quality health care can expand in the state.

​

Representative Russell Webber and Senate Majority Caucus Chair Julie Raque Adams 

KANPNM is profoundly grateful for the collaborative leadership of our primary bill sponsors and legislative champions of the 2022 Legislative Session.  This bill and its aims are well known by many legislators and viewed as important to the people of their districts. Many legislators have expressed dismay at recent tactics employed by opponents of the legislation to discredit NPs and look forward to their opportunity to cast votes in favor of the legislation and speak to its importance and value in their home communities.

​

Thank you to the growing list of supporters of HB 354!

Thank you to the sponsors of HB 286!

Frankfort -- 2020. Kentucky Representatives who want to increase access to quality health care in the Commonwealth are backing HB 286! If you don't see your Rep as a sponsor of this bipartisan bill, ask them to support modernizing Kentucky laws to remove barriers to care. 

​

House Floor Leader Bam Carney

KANPNM greatly appreciates the leadership and initiative of House Floor Leader John "Bam" Carney for his tireless work during the summer and fall of 2019 on behalf of APRNs and the formation of HB 286. Rep. Carney worked to bring KANPNM's Legislative Team to the table with other groups and stakeholders to inform and outline the initiative to bring about the end of CAPA-CS in Kentucky.  

Thank you, Bam!
