Take Action

Welcome

It is our goal to ensure that legislators and regulators have the best information to help them develop policies that create a safer world through the prevention of infection. As part of this mission, with the assistance of the APIC Public Policy Committee, we monitor, analyze, and provide input into legislation in the U.S. Congress and in state legislatures, and closely follow and provide input into the work of regulatory agencies. This page is designed to help you locate resources on that work and to know the best time to act on important policy issues.
