Our Political Agenda
- Investigate 3rd party payment and parity laws (in NH & other states)
- Monitor legislation:
- Support pro-acupuncture legislation (by providing testimony, presenting at hearings, lobbying, generating public/professional support, coordinating letter campaigns, etc.)
- Support legislation submitted by the NH Licensing Board or NHAAMA
- Oppose legislation that would undermine or harm our profession
- Work in conjunction with the NH Licensing Board in order to avoid duplicate legislative efforts and working at cross purposes.
- Cultivate positive relationships with NH legislators
