Senate Bill 464 passes in the Virginia Senate!

The Virginia Senate overwhelming voted in favor of autism insurance coverage by a vote of 27-13! Virginia families, while celebrating a HUGE, FIRST EVER victory, are getting closer to reforming autism services and ending current discrimination in Virginia. Thank you Senators Howell, Vogel, Herring, Deeds, McEachin and many more!! The bill will be sent to the House of Delegates and... likely... assigned back to the Labor and Commerce Committee. A similar Bill failed a few weeks ago in this Committee on a TIE vote.

Senate Bill (SB464) mandates health insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorders in youth until the age of 6 years old. This bill focuses on early intervention and, based on an INDEPENDENT actuary study, reflects a cost savings for the public due to the estimated reduction in special education services in the schools. The JLARC, Virginia’s audit agency, identifies a $147K savings per student if early intervention services (i.e. health coverage) is provided. Thank you Senators Saslaw, Howell, Deeds, Herring and many more for your compelling testimony and support! See our printable one-pager with all the facts ...

Standby for more information and instructions. We will need your help to pass this bill in the House of Delegates!
