The state Assembly passed Assembly Bill 736 on February 20.  The bill creates a state Palliative Care Council and has been one of WiHPCA’s top priorities in this legislative session.  The bill passed the state Assembly by voice vote with several Representatives speaking in favor of the bill on the Assembly floor, including Rep. Shae Sortwell (R-Two Rivers), Rep. Donna Rozar (R-Marshfield) and the Assembly bill author, Rep. Patrick Snyder (R-Wausau Area).  No one spoke in opposition to the bill on the Assembly floor today.  The bill now heads to the state Senate.
