The Students with Diabetes Act has been introduced in this in the 2005 PA legislative session by Rep. Babette Josephs from Philadelphia. This is the same legislation that was introduced last year by Senator Jane Orie in the PA Senate; so far there has been no Senate companion bill introduced. The purpose of this bill is to require diabetes training of designated school employees and to require diabetes health care plans for students with diabetes.
ACTION ALERT: Write or email your PA representative and ask that he/she co-sponsor HB 1040. Write or email you PA senator and ask that he/she introduce a companion bill in the PA Senate.
