WE DID IT !!!!!!!!!

Governor Gibbons signs AB 162 !

At approximately 9:30 am today, Governor Jim Gibbons signed into law AB 162, the Autism Insurance Reform Bill. It is a great day for all of our families living with autism in the State of Nevada.

A big thank you to all of the Legislators, and the Governor for making this happen! For believing in our cause, and for caring for our children. And a very special thank you to Assemblyman James Ohrenschall for standing with us all the way, and for having the guts to introduce this Bill when 6 months ago we were told “it has no chance”!! A huge thank you to the incredible people at Autism Speaks! We really couldn’t have done this without them. Their expertise, testimony, and incredible support through it all, made this day possible. And to you parents and families…..THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Your ‘Big Beautiful Mouths” spoke, and they ALL listened!!
Hug your kids ! Have a celebration! And thank the Legislators and the Governor for their care and compassion for our kids.
WE LOVE YOU ALL !!
