As nurses we are sometimes unaware of the legislative process. We need to advocate for our patients and our
communities.
On the website you can click on the top bar '"Bills & Laws" this will then bring you to "Search Bills". You can
type in 'health' under keyword and you will need to pick a committee and then you can search the present bills
or you could use terms such as as 'public health', 'nursing' or 'environment'. Once you have located a bill which
is related to public health or nursing (can be any topic, which you have interest in) your assignment is to
research/Google, evaluate and write up your chosen bill to meet the following five objectives:
Summarize this Bill.
State what implications you perceive this will have on public health.
State the pros and cons of your Bill, including the financial implications this Bill may have.
