Legislative Activities
The 112 Session of the TN General Assembly began January 12, 2021.
This legislative session has been busy for TNAAP and, of course, complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. TNAAP is monitoring hundreds of pieces of legislation and is active in discussions with legislators on numerous matters important to child health and pediatricians. These include opposing the concept of full practice authority for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, lobbying against anti-vaccination legislation, weighing in on youth sports and much more.
Join us for our Day on the Hill, March 23, 2021 and the associated planning session on March 11, 2021.
