Using the ADEA U.S. Interactive Legislative Tracking Map to Monitor Bills
Map users can quickly monitor high-interest topics, such as student loan repayment programs, higher education funding, alternative workforce models, teledentistry, interprofessional education, tobacco regulations, children’s dental benefits under CHIP/Medicaid and adult dental benefits under Medicaid. By using the dropdown menu, users can view relevant legislation in a list format or as an interactive infographic of a U.S. map, with states that have pending legislation related to the selected topic highlighted in blue. This feature provides users with an instant visual landscape of what topics states and regions of the country are interested in, especially hot-button issues.
The map is a helpful tool not only for those in the dental education community, but also for state legislative directors, Medicaid directors, dental directors, policy analysts and national organizations with an interest in oral health care.
