You Did It!
This afternoon, the House Government Organization Committee voted to include the clinical hand-skills amendment into the Governor’s Universal Licensing Bill SB 458. But it was not unanimous.
Special Thanks
Please thank Dr. Bill Klenk, President of the WV Board of Dentistry, for cancelling his afternoon patients and representing your profession in front of the legislative committee today.
Dr. Klenk took approximately 20 minutes of questions from legislators about this issue.
Behind the Scenes
- Your WVDA Executive Director worked hard to secure at least 16 solid votes for the amendment.
- In the final voice vote, approximately 20 of the 25 committee members voted YES!
Your Advocacy Made the Difference
Without your calls, emails, and texts, the amendment would not have succeeded, since neither the Governor’s Office nor the committee chairman wanted the bill amended.
