ATLANTA, GA – March 14, 2023 – After a final vote by the Senate, the Georgia General Assembly today passed a bill

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) Thanks Lawmakers for Passing Legislation That Expands Access to Precision Medicine 

Nevada Assemblywoman Sarah Peters (D) has introduced Assembly Bill 155 which would expand access to biomarker testing statewide. Testing has become an increasingly important and game-changing part of cancer care in recent years due to its significant impact in improving survivorship and quality of life. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is urging members of the Committee on Health and Human Services to vote ‘yes’ to this legislation.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) hosted ‘Cancer Action Day’ at the Colorado state capitol Wednesday. ACS CAN volunteers, including cancer survivors, patients, and caregivers met with several lawmakers and urged them to support and pass House Bill 1110, Healthcare Coverage for Biomarkers Testing. The bi-partisan legislation would expand equitable access to biomarker testing statewide. 

Mientras los legisladores se reúnen para la sesión legislativa de 2023, la Red de Acción Contra el Cáncer de la Sociedad Americana Contra el Cáncer (ACS CAN) en Florida aboga por que los legisladores estatales trabajen con el partido opositor para aprobar un proyecto de ley que se espera que revolucione el tratamiento del cáncer para los residentes de Florida al ampliar el acceso a las pruebas de biomarcadores.
