Protecting respiratory health is as important as ever, which is why we at Breathe Southern California are a proud sponsor of state legislation to address respiratory health in several ways.
Assembly Bill 619 (Calderon)will improve COPD awareness among primary care physicians, promote early diagnosis and treatment of COPD, and address the adverse health effects wildfire smoke has on our lungs. I’m thrilled to announce that our bill was passed unanimously by the Assembly Health Committee earlier this week!
But there are several more steps before this bill can become law. Next, AB 619 will face a hearing in the Emergency Management Committee of the California State Assembly. We need your help to make sure that this critical respiratory health bill is supported there. You can help make a difference by taking just a minute to contact your legislator to let them know about the importance of AB 619.
