There have been 3 different bills introduced and sponsored by Senator Ira Silverstein. You can review the legislation introduced as follows:
SB 2516 (2008)
SB 0068 (2009)
SB 0071 (2011)
The issue that some companies, who generally support the cause, have with these bills are the amendments. One amendment decreased the coverage amount from $2500 per hearing aid to $2000. Another amendment specifies who must administer the hearing aids and hearing tests. While reviewing the wording, be sure to look at the amendments also.
