LB1048 Update

Wanted to give you an update on LB1048 that would issue a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth as an optional document for parents residing in Nebraska that experience this. See my first blog on this for the details.

The Committee Hearing for the bill is Thursday, February 7th. Letters of support can be submitted to Senator Nantkes, the bill sponsor. Better yet, you can send your letter of support to all those on the Health & Human Services Committee that will be hearing the bill.

A generic letter of support is located at the following link:

Feel free to customize by adding personal experiences or your thoughts. On the second page of the letter is the contact information for all of those on the Committee, as well as Senator Nantkes. This is especially important if one of the Senators on the HHS committee is YOUR Senator. (How to find out who your Senator is: http://www.nebraskalegislature.gov/web/public/senators/find)

I truly appreciate all of those that posted a reply to my blog this far. Now if we can get those messages in front of the Senators - that would be really special!

Thanks in advance for your support.
