The ERISA Industry Committee Urges Advancement of Colorado Senate Bill 141

WASHINGTON, February  23, 2024 – The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) yesterday sent a comment letter to the Colorado Senate Health & Human Services Committee supporting passage of SB 141, legislation that would centralize licensure portability for health care professionals licensed in another state and broaden access to out-of-state telehealth providers for Coloradans. 
 
“With a critical shortage of health care providers in Colorado and nationwide, ERIC and its large member companies recognize the need to improve access to quality medical care for workers and their families,” said Dillon Clair, ERIC Director of State Advocacy and Litigation.  “Colorado Senate Bill 141 would do just that by expanding the telehealth service options available to Colorado residents and allowing health care providers licensed in another state to provide convenient, safe and cost-effective telehealth services to Coloradans.”
