On October 15, the public hearing took place virtually for our bill, H.2343/S.1380, An Act Providing for Consumer Access to and the Right to Practice Complementary and Alternative Health Care Services.

With only 72 hours advance notice of the hearing, the bill garnered incredible support from the holistic health community. Qigong Master and State Representative Don Wong was the first to publicly support the bill.  He was followed by 11 other individuals who provided strong personal testimony on why it is important – and necessary – to pass this bill.  We believe dozens more added their voices to support the bill through written testimony. No one spoke in opposition to the bill.

We now look forward to hearing that the bill has been passed favorably out of committee when we can begin the next steps towards the bill’s passage.
