The we have been working toward that extends the Temporary Limited License (TLLP) granted to masters’ graduates has been introducedÌýby Senator Wayne Schmidt. The first step is review by the Senate Health Policy Committee. If approved, the bill will then go to the State Senate for its vote.Ìý

This bill is essential to the elimination of theÌýDecember 31, 2017ÌýTLLP expiration for many current TLLP license holders, allowing them the opportunity to meet more reasonable licensing requirements and continue to serve the public.

All voices​Ìýin support of Bill 634Ìýare ​essential to its passage.Ìý I have included two generic letters to send to individual ​.Ìý If relevant, please alter a letter to fit your particular circumstance. ​

​You may also wish to ask others to write on your behalf and/or in support of the bill.

Thank you for your support.
