Letter from TBDA re Lyme Disease Bill in New York

Dear Friends,bullhorn

 

I hope this letter finds you well. As you may have heard, Governor Cuomo expressed his intention to sign into law New York State Lyme disease legislation S07854 and A07558B-which is presumably great news for the Lyme disease community-but he wants to make tweaks and amendments to the bill before signing. It is crucial that Governor Cuomo sign the bill as it currently stands, without any further amendments. Further amendments could diminish the bill’s efficacy. We have updated the Governor Cuomo letter on Voter Voice to reflect the current situation.
