The NCMS Legislative Team has completed the 2011 Legislative Summary, and you can read it at: https://www.compassionatecarenc.org/non_members/legislative/2011-Legislative-Summary.pdf.

The overview of the 2011 Legislative Session provides an informative review of NCMS legislative advocacy, including successes, such as SB 33—Medical Liability Reforms and HB 542 – Tort Reform for Citizens and Business. The Summary not only covers accomplishments, but it also serves as a reference to help prepare for 2012—a Presidential Election year – and the Legislative Short Session that convenes in May.

“It is more important than ever for you to become an engaged member of organized medicine and encourage your colleagues to do the same. The short session is just around the corner — please join us in shaping the future of medicine in 2012,” Robert Monteiro, MD, President-Elect and Chair, the NCMS Legislative Cabinet.
