Governor Kate Brown Vetoes HB 3355

8/16/2017

Comments

 
We are relieved announce that Governor Brown has vetoed the Psychology Prescribing Bill, HB 3355. OCCAP partnered with the Oregon Psychiatric Physicians Association, the Oregon Medical Association, Oregon Pediatric Society, Youth M.O.V.E, Oregon Family Support Network and the American Psychiatric Association to help defeat a bill that would have endangered patients and compromised mental health care. Without this collaboration, this important veto may not have occurred. 

OCCAP will be working hard during the next few months to partner with psychologists and other health care & community partners to address the mental health crisis, especially as it relates to children & adolescents. We are committed to finding strategies that help Oregon's youth find the best care when they most need it. We are grateful to Governor Brown for her support of this mission!
