Support Extending the Sunset on the LEHP Act
A sample letter in support of extending the sunset for the Licensed Environmental Health Practitioner is available in the link below. IAPHA is asking for your support by taking a moment to send this letter to your State Representative and State Senator and to Speaker Michael Madigan. We will need the Speaker's support to move this initiative in the Fall Veto Session.
Please go to www.ilga.gov to look up the mailing addresses for your legislators and Speaker Madigan. You may send your letter to either their district or Springfield office as their staff will forward it on either way.
