To prepare for the legislative advocacy that ACBVA and other affiliates did in March 2023, the meeting held on February 13 focused on ACB’s four legislative imperatives. Our speaker was Clark Rachfal, who at the time served as ACB’s Director of Advocacy and Governmental Affairs. The imperatives are the same as those we advocated for in 2022, but they all have to be introduced in the 118th Congress.
The descriptions of the four imperatives were accurate as of February 2023; they provide excellent background on these very important ongoing issues.
Copies of the imperatives can be found at:

Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act
