Tips from Missouri • Break the Bill Down – keep it simple • Get a powerful sponsor • Get bill heard early • Lobbyist • Grass Roots Support • Educate Early • Face-to-Face Meetings are Better • Build solid relationships with nursing groups (not just on the compact). Trust is key. • Build relationships with lobbyists and legislators.
