NEW LYME LEGISLATION IN RI
(June 2021)
2021 SENATE BILL S-0711, presented by Sen. Stephen Archambault, was passed and enacted in June 2021. This document directs the Department of Health to update information and treatment protocols considering multiple reliable resources to physicians on a timely basis. It refers to the 2002 RI LAWS on LYME Title 2, Chapter 37.5; and, addresses the similarities with COVID symptoms. This is a big step in the right direction for Lyme & TBI patients in RI.
You can view the entire Bill online, and or pose questions to Lyme Newport.
