  • ADEA United States Interactive Legislative Tracking MapADEA United States Interactive Legislative Tracking Map
    This interactive map provides current information on state legislation of interest to academic dentistry for all fifty states and the District of Columbia (Puerto Rico will be added to the map later this year). The map will allow users to: View the current status of bills,  View upcoming hearing dates, and View current bill text and bill author/sponsor information. For those states whose legislative sessions have adjourned, “sine die,” the bills listed have been either signed by the governor or automatically became law without the governor’s signature; you will be able to see the effective date of the legislation, unless the bill has been vetoed.     Please be advised, for those states that have not yet adjourned their 2013 Regular Session or are in the midst of a Special Session, you will see bills still before the legislature and you will be able to view upcoming hearing dates or floor action as they are scheduled. In addition, five states (Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Montana, and Tennessee) have begun pre-filing bills for 2014, and as a result, any applicable pre-filed bills will also be displayed. Finally, you should be aware that there are a few states that did not pass any relevant legislation during the last legislative session, and as a result, those state links on the map are inactive. The information on the map will be automatically updated daily. As new bills relevant to academic dentistry are introduced, the bills will be added to the map. This compilation provides a nation-wide perspective on issues of interest—and will serve as a useful new tool for keeping abreast of legislation of interest in your state. Learn more
