b'EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE go back to page 1 under the time cap. I really think this is attributed to the work we do ahead of the council by submitting asynchronous testimony. I wanted to encourage you again to participate in council.It is such a rewarding experience. The more you get involved, the more rewarding it can be. When you write a resolution, get up on the council floor and provide testimony, and then get a successful outcome, it is such a great feeling. I actually feel like I am making a difference in emergency medicine. If it is your first time, do not be nervous. We can help you! We will be having another workshop on writing council resolutions. If you do not want to write it, just submit your idea to us, and we can put it down on paper. Join us at the next council meeting on September 5-6, 2025, in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of our biggest pieces of news on the advocacy front was the successful passage of HB 1633 - Healthcare Noncompete Agreement Reform, now Act 74. Governor Shapiro signed this legislation on July 17, 2024, and it takes effect on January 1, 2025. This legislation would not have been possible without the efforts of the House Health Care Committee Chair Rep. Dan Frankel and Rep. Arvind Venkat. The Pennsylvania Emergency Physicians Political Action Committee (PEP-PAC) is making several donations to legislative leaders this fall. We support both Democrats and Republicans. These contributions are made strategically to benefit emergency physicians, our patients, and support our agenda. This helps us to develop relationships with legislators. Remember, NONE of the money from your annual dues is used for these donations. These funds are all raised separately through donations to the PEP-PAC. We will be starting our annual fall PEP-PAC campaign. Watch our social media pages coming soon! Thank you, as always, for everything you do to take care of patients across the state of Pennsylvania. Together, were making a real difference in the future of emergency medicine!SAVE25 THE DATE Registration will openin late November.
