Legislative Update - HB 1433

Posted almost 6 years ago by Nikole Arrotta Tabaracci

Lisa Salazar, Jennifer Nava and I enjoyed attending the legislative update hosted by IENA on October 17th. Many representatives from our local government were attendance including the school board, city council, and legislative candidates. We had a chance to catch up with Rep. Marcus Riccelli, 3rd Legislative Dist. to discuss HB 1433 - Requiring health insurance parity for advanced registered nurse practitioners. He is a sponsor of this bill and a member of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee. We discussed the need for a hearing for this bill and he is in support of this next step in the process. He encouraged all of us to email or call his office in support of a hearing for HB 1433. Let’s help to bring attention to this issue in Washington! Here is contact information for Marcus Riccelli:

Rep Riccelli,

I am emailing you about HB 1433 - a movement requiring health insurance parity for advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs). Research shows we have similar, if not sometimes better, outcomes as medical care providers. As a sponsor of this bill and a member of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee, you are in the position to help give ARNPs a voice. We are hopeful for a hearing for this bill as the next step in this important process.

Thank you for your anticipated support of a hearing for HB 1433.

Warm regards,
