Urge Legislators to Move Full Practice Bills

We need you to take action today on full practice bills H.B. 1792/S.B. 2438. We’ve updated our Grassroots Action Center with letters to send to the Chairs of the House Public Health and the Senate Business & Commerce Committees, so read more below on how you can help us!

On April 4, the Texas Public Health Committee held a public hearing on H.B. 1792, legislation that would remove costly, antiquated regulatory barriers to nurse practitioners and help expand access to care for Texans. The bill was left pending in committee and in order for it to advance, the Public Health Committee must bring H.B. 1792 to a vote.

Contact the Public Health Committee today, and urge them to put patients first and vote out H.B. 1792.

Also, S.B. 2438 is sitting in the Senate Business & Commerce Committee, awaiting a public hearing.

Contact the Business & Commerce Committee, and ask them to schedule S.B. 2438 for a hearing in the Senate before the clock runs out.

H.B. 1792/S.B 2438 have overwhelming support from 30 co-sponsors and the over 25 organizations who have joined our Coalition for Healthcare Access to advance full practice authority for nurse practitioners. Texans need care NOW, but Texas law is standing in the way. It's time to change that.

Let your voice be heard. Take two minutes today, and send them the message to put patients first and advance this much-needed legislation.
