Legislative Committee

Our Role

The Legislative Committee works with our OTAO Lobbyist, Nikki Terzieff, to review legislative issues affecting OTs and OT services. This committee is your link to the Board, your Lobbyist, and a platform to raise any concerns about therapy services.

2026 Updates

The Legislative Session Has Started! 


Please keep an eye out for calls to action in the coming weeks. 


Our Practitioner Advocacy Day in November was a success! 

Because of the connections we made we now have a small group of OTPs and OTP students who have joined small committees to do work on projects, help with writing letters, and help us start to influence rule making processes in the state. If YOU are interested and have an hour or so month a month to donate to us, click here to sign up!


What's Planned for 2025 - 2026

This year is a short legislative session, so we will be looking for opportunities for bills to support and continue to monitor bills that could be detrimental to OT Practice and our ability to care for clients. 

If there are conversations you would like to begin having, be sure to reach out to the Legislative Committee at otaolegislative@gmail.com


Interested in Volunteering?

We have several ongoing projects and are always looking for help. Not all of this involves direct legislative action. The projects vary in size and time commitment. Even if you ony have a couple of hours to give us, we'll take it!
