Update - House Bill 1150

In April, we encouraged PA residents to contact their local legislators to support House Bill 1150, an amendment to the Act of May 17, 1921 which would mandate insurance companies to cover autistic children's medical expenses up to $36,000 per year.

On July 9, 2008, Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell, signed House Bill 1150 into law!!!! This will provide children and Young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder access to services and treatments including, psychiatric care, psychological care, and rehabilitative care including applied behavioral analysis, therapeutic care and pharmacy care.
