House Subcommittee Passes ALS Registry Act

We are extremely pleased to report that this morning, the House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Health unanimously passed the ALS Registry Act (HR 2295). The bill is now cleared to move forward in the House and next will head to the full Energy and Commerce Committee. This is a tremendous victory and is one of the most critical steps in the legislative process, as most bills introduced in Congress never make it "through Subcommittee."

There is a bill in congress right now to create a mechanism to track ALS. Please help it pass by using links below.

It is super easy and quick to send them a form email, and easy to modify and personalize the message.
