Good morning everyone,  

I wanted to make sure to pass on any information I received about the Isakson & Roe Act.  If you recall from the May update email - 

• New regulatory language form the Veteran's Administration (VA) has come out regrading licensure disclosures and institutions requirements for compliance (thanks for the heads up Jodi!!). 
  • R.7105 - Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020  
    • Became Public Law No: 116-315 on January 5, 2021.  Effective 6/15/21 and applies to all educational institutions as of 8/1/21 
    • Specifically related to us and our work is this a requirement that, as part of our notifications, we will need to provide to the students -  
      • any conditions or additional requirements, including training, experience, or examinations, required to obtain the license, certification, or approval for which the course of education is designed to provide preparation;   

MHEC (WICHE’s sister organization) is hosting a webinar on Isakson & Roe is (thankfully) allowing us in this region to attend.  The webinar is on June 24th at 12pm MDT (1pm CDT). I highly recommend passing this along to your colleagues in your campus’s Veterans and Military Affairs office as you continue the conversations on how to combine this information or divide the duties associated with this side-quest in state authorization. 

Have a good rest of the week! 

Erika
