Howdy Friend,

Can you believe that there’s only 66 days left until sine die? In the past few days, the legislature heard many bills from Senate Majority Leader Cannizzaro’s bill that enshrines reproductive freedom in our State Constitution, Assemblyman Nguyen’s bill that calls for financial literacy in schools, Senator Scheible’s bill that fights for transgender incarcerated persons rights.

Friend, there’s more. Assemblywoman Considine’s bill, AB250, makes prescription drugs affordable for all Nevadans! With the Inflation Reduction Act, 565,000 Nevada seniors who are enrolled in Medicare will soon enjoy the benefits of the negotiated prices of some of the most expensive prescription medicines. 

• When: Monday, April 3
• Time: 1:30PM
• Where: Assembly Commerce and Labor

However, about 2.5 million Nevadans are subjected to the full cost that the pharmaceutical companies can charge us. That’s why we need your support for AB250!

This is where you come in, Friend. You can show up in Carson to testify or you can testify in support via the phone! 

To provide support testimony telephonically, dial (888) 475-4499 on Monday, April 3 at 1:30 PM. When prompted, provide Meeting ID 864-682-301-59 and then press #. When prompted for a Participant ID, press #. To resolve any issues related to calling in to provide testimony, please call (775) 684-6990.

You can also share your opinion on the bill by creating an account through NELIS. Find instructions below:

With your help, we know that we can get AB250 across the finish line! The first step is ensuring we have support testimony in the Assembly Committee on Commerce and Labor.

A hui hou,
