Help Pass FAAMA in 2009!
As you know, FAAN is leading the effort to push the Senate to enact the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act (FAAMA), which calls for voluntary national guidelines to help schools manage students affected by food allergy and anaphylaxis.
FAAMA was passed by the House in 2008, and earned support from 42 Senators.
Unfortunately, FAAMA was not taken up by the Senate before it adjourned. As a result, FAAMA will be reintroduced in early 2009.
When the new Congressional session begins in January, 2009, you will be able to help pass this important piece of legislation.
Stay tuned for more details ...
