Kate's Law


Capitol Push Week for Kate's Law
is this week!
If you could not make it to the Capitol today, please make a call or send an e-mail to your Senator and Representative before the end of this week!


 

For legislator contact information and complete details on how you can participate in this effort from home or at the Capitol, please visit the


If we can keep this issue at the forefront of the Kansas legislature, we can make it happen in 2010!

 

 

If enacted, Kate's Law would require that health insurance in Kansas cover the diagnosis and medically necessary treatment for autism spectrum disorders.  This legislation will have far-reaching positive effects on families affected by autism, our public schools, state-funded programs and the fiscal health of Kansas.  


 

Sincerely,
 
 
The Kansas Coalition for Autism Legislation

Our Website

Hi ho, this is your friendly neighborhood webmaster. If you've tried to register in the past, go ahead and try again. I've made some changes that should both prevent spam and let everyone register. Hooray!

Remember that you do need a valid email address to register for an account. That's where your registration confirmation is sent. Without it, you can't log in. I only point this out because I've had a couple registration attempts that looked legit - and then their confirmation email bounced.
