Urgent! (Tue 2/24/2015) - Oppose HB 25 and SB 385

The Tennessee General Assembly has rescheduled the 17th February meeting on HB 25 and SB 385 which would add “dry needling” to the practice of physical therapy for Tuesday, February 24th at 1:30pm.
It is advised that you check the status of the bills and the Committee calendars regularly.
You can follow the Health Subcommittee calendar and other pertinent information here:
And, all relevant information on the bills here:
Here is a link to the Advisory Committee for Acupuncture position letter.
This letter has already been distributed to members of the Health Subcommittee and appropriate members of the General Assembly.
Please make an informed gesture communicating your opposition to HB 25 and SB 385 to your elected officials (senators and representatives) and as soon as possible to the Health Subcommittee members. Email is great (see contact information below). Phone works too. Even if you simply state the point that you strongly oppose HB 25 and SB 385.
Stay tuned, because if this continues the process will need to be repeated with subsequent committees.
