LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY Alliance members are active locally in voter registration, and very interested in legislation that has an effect on the practice of medicine both from the physician and patient point of view. The KMSA and the AMAA 's roles are to influence legislation impacting physicians and their patients. This is accomplished most effectively by becoming familiar with our state and national legislators. Legislative alerts from the KMS and the AMAA staffs unite our position and thus, unite our voices, emails and letters. If you would like to receive legislative updates and alerts from KMS, click here to send us an email.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the current bills that are introduced and to sit in on legislative hearings pertaining to issues that are important to Kansas medicine.
