AIF Applauds Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health & Human Services


for Approving Telehealth Legislation
Tallahassee, Fla. The Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) today released the following statement
attributable to its general counsel, Tammy Perdue, applauding lawmakers on the Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee on Health and Human Services for passing Senate Bill 478, relating to Telehealth.
This good, bipartisan public policy, championed by Senators Bean and Joyner, strives to ensure patients in
rural parts of the state, as well as underserved regions, receive the health care they need by connecting them
with providers using technology, like the Internet and smartphones.
This is an important piece of legislation that will expand access to affordable, quality health care; and, we at
AIF, are hopeful it is successful this legislative session.
