After five years and 30 bills, Rep. John Nygren is looking to continue his work combating Wisconsin's opioid epidemic through his latest round of legislation — a package he says focuses on "filling the gaps." 

3 of the Bills being introduced include Reimbursement for Recovery Coaches, Continuation of Care after an overdose with Coaching Services, and Registration of Recovery Residences in Wisconsin. 

For every one that originally signed onto this petition and attended Recovery Alignment Day 2019 your voices were heard and now come January, you will have the opportunity to contact your Rep and ask them to support these, and all the HOPE Agenda Legislation. 

There will also be the opportunity to come to Madison to testify in front of the Assembly your support for these to pass. Please go to the Facebook event page and add your name as going and share it with your groups.

More info will be available in January including a doc on calling your rep and details on connecting with everyone in Madison on the 15th to advocate for these legislative priorities.
