Legislative Alert: HB 2530

CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY AND ASK THEM TO
VOTE "YES" ON HB 2530

Contact your state representative immediately and ask them to vote "yes" on HB 2530. It will be voted on in the Kansas House of Representatives either Tuesday March 12 or Wednesday, March 13.

HB 2530 would negate physicians and other health care workers from claims under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, as reported in the February 28 KVMA Legislative Bulletin.

The KVMA staff supported an amendment to HB 2530 that was discussed in the House Judiciary Committee when it worked the billed last Thursday.

The KVMA staff and legal counsel feel the amendment includes veterinarians. The KVMA staff also asked the committee chairman to include in the meeting minutes that the bill's legislative intent was to include veterinarians. He agreed to and it was made part of the minutes.

Contact your representative and ask them to vote "yes" on HB 2530.
