Representative Susan King signs on to HB 117 as Joint Author

Appropriations, House Administration (Procedural), and Public Health Committee member Susan King has signed on to House Bill 117. The Primary and Joint Authors of HB 117 reaffirm that providing counties with the option of allowing disease prevention outreach programs that address the consequences of injection drug use at the point of preventing further transmission of deadly disease remains an issue with strong bipartisan support here in Texas:

• Primary Author, Rules and Resolutions (Procedural) Chair Ruth Jones McClendon; and
• Joint Authors Appropriations Subcommittee on Article II Chair Doctor John Zerwas,
• County Affairs Chair Garnet F. Coleman, and
• Appropriations, House Administration (Procedural), and Public Health Committee member Susan King.
  

A sincere thank you to Representative King, a Registered Nurse and staunch supporter of disease prevention outreach programs!
