Please include your address and phone number on all letters for use by the G-T office The G-T reserves the right to edit Nursing issue dead for now To the Editor: This letter is to inform you and your readers that I have been contacted by State Senator David Nelson and State Representative Lynn Lundquist regarding House Bill 3697 (the anti-RN bill being promoted by the Oregon Hospital Association) was sent to committee. The House Committee on Commerce "tabled" the bill and failed to act on it prior to adjournment of this legislative session. Both representatives are confident this bill is "dead in committee" and will not be resurrected. This is good news for the public and nursing professionals all over the state. However we must remain aware that the lobby for such a bill will not rest and we are sure to see some variation of this bill in the future.
