Database Tracks Autism Legislation

December 11, 2008

 The National Conference of State Legislatures' Autism Legislation Database provides information about autism legislation introduced in the 50 states and the District of Columbia from the 2008 legislative session to present. The database can be searched by state, topic, keyword, status, year, bill number, or primary sponsor. Topics include awareness, education, financing, health and human services, infrastructure, insurance, professional training, and screening. New legislation will be added to the database as it is introduced. The database is available at http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/autism.htm.
