On February 18th, from 3 pm-6:30 pm, we attended a hearing on the Licensure Compact! 

Summary of meeting:

• We were able to collect over 300 signatures on the petition to support the Compact Act
• Kaite O'Day and others were able to testify in-person
• No further actions were taken at the meeting but our lobbyist recommended a sunset provision to give time for OTLB to respond after the compact goes into effect. 
• We continue to collect letters in support. Please personalize this sample letter we drafted have drafted for you. Your input is especially valuable if you live in the district of one of the legislators on the committee.
