Legislation for Students

Always good to see the government working... for students...

On Friday, February 16th, U.S. Representatives Marion Berry (D-AR) and Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) introduced legislation to enable physical therapists to participate in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program. 32 bipartisan Members of Congress joined Representatives Berry and Emerson in introducing HR 1134, the Physical Therapist Student Loan Repayment Eligibility Act.

Here is a link to the Legislative Action Center from the APTA that makes contacting your representatives super easy (I hope the link gets you right there). There are pre-written statements that you can just add your name to, which is a good thing (and bad), and send it right off to your reps.
