Lobbying Center




The purpose of this lobbying center is to provide Doctors of Chiropractic and their patients resources in reaching lawmakers in Albany.

2007 Lobbying Campaign

The NYSCA has begun a lobbying campaign to advance the Chiropractic Insurance Equality Technical Corrections Bill.   Additionally, the NYSCA is advocating passage of the Workers Compensation Fee Parity Bill.  In an effort to pass this legislation the NYSCA has joined forces with the New York Chiropractic Council and formed a Joint Legislative Task Force whose purpose is to coordinate the legislative efforts of all chiropractors and chiropractic patients.

Letter Writing Campaign

The first step in our campaign to pass this important legislation is a letter writing campaign.  All doctors are asked to enlist the support of their most precious commodity, their patients.  To learn more about the letter writing campaign and to obtain the instructions about how to participate, please Click Here.”

Remember, legislators listen to their constituents!  This is a case where the volume of mail matters!  Be sure to inform all chiropractic patients of the issues and ask every patient to sign the letters.  Mail all letters to legislators no later than Tuesday April 24, 2007.

“March on Albany”
Tuesday May 1, 2007

The next step in our legislative effort is a “March on Albany” to be held on Tuesday May 1, 2007.  The purpose of the march is to visit with our legislators and personally express our concerns.  This will be our third consecutive “March on Albany” and those who have attended in the past agree that we were successful in communicating our message to the legislators.  It is our intention to continue to inform our legislators about our Technical Corrections Bill and begin work on changes in the Workers Compensation arena.  To register and learn more of the details concerning the “March on Albany” you may Click Here.”

District Visits to Legislators

Each year groups of Chiropractors visit their local legislators in their district offices.  This is in addition to our visits in Albany.  These district visits allow local doctors to meet for a longer period of time in a more relaxed setting with their own legislator.  This year our “District Visits” will be coordinated by Dr. Ronald Michelli.  Please take the time make a visit to your legislator in their local office when you are asked. 

Further details can be obtained by attending a monthly NYSCA District meeting in your area or by contacting the NYSCA Legislative Chairman:  Donald Littlejohn, DC
