First Step: Choose a legislative bill concerning a health policy of interest to you from the Virginia Nurses Association (VNA) list provided in the module. This list may not be available in time for you to begin work on this assignment. So, you may want to review the list of healthcare-related bills from the Virginia General Assembly website (see below) to make your choice. See the VNA Public Policy Platform below to help guide Remember that in choosing a bill in which you plan to endorse or oppose, you need to understand all the components of the bill, not just the piece you are interested in. You will track your chosen bill through the Legislative Session as the basis of the Bill Tracking assignment. Please read the Bill Tracking assignment in conjunction with this assignment. To choose a bill or to find the bill you have chosen from the VNA list of bills, go to the website for Virginia General Assembly: http://virginiageneralassembly.gov/, where you will look on the right and see “Search Legislation with Lis”, begin clicking; “2021 Regular Session Tracking”, “Bills and Resolutions”, “All Legislation” which will take you to the list of all the bills. You will be able to click on your chosen bill to read the entire bill. Become familiar with this website. At the top of the site you will see “Click for Bill Tracking, Meetings, Who’s My Legislator? Second Step: Conduct a review of the literature related to the policy/bill issue and develop a Bibliography of at least 10 citations in APA format. Your Bibliography is the list of resources used to inform your views. The Bibliography is not used as a Reference List. You will not cite your references in the letter you write. Third Step: Write a legislative letter to the state legislator who represents your state district (a senator or delegate) of no more than 1 1/2 pages single-spaced.
