Autism Votes... It's time for lawmakers to listen.
Dear Florida Autism Advocate,
We're almost there!! Due to the hundreds of emails you sent to members of the Florida Senate over the past few days, Senate Bill 2654, the autism insurance reform bill, has JUST PASSED THE FL SENATE UNANIMOUSLY!! Not only that, but the bill has also been certified by the Senate to the House, meaning the House could vote on it at any time. All that is needed now is for Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio to bring the Senate Bill up for a vote in the House!
How Can You Help?
1. CALL Speaker Rubio's office! Let the Speaker know that the bill was passed UNANIMOUSLY in the Senate and, while you appreciate the efforts of the Select Committee on Autism & Developmental Disabilities, families in Florida REALLY NEED PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR AUTISM SERVICES! Urge the Speaker to bring SB 2654 up for an immediate vote in the House.
2. Follow up your call with an EMAIL to Speaker Rubio with the same message: Schedule a House Vote on the UNANIMOUSLY passed Senate Bill 2654!
We are so close to getting the health coverage Florida's kids with autism need.
Thank you!
