Efforts to educate lawmakers are highlighted in 2024’s yearly review of the ADA’s lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill, with the Administration, and in the state legislatures around the country. The ADA is proud to introduce or advocate for over 150 bills or regulations during the second session of the 118th Congress. Some notable accomplishments in 2024 include efforts to expand the oral health care workforce, enhance access to care for underserved populations including veterans, and improve the dental insurance landscape.
