Informed Consent Before Having ECT Subject of Utah Bill

Feb. 5, 2003

Rep. Katherine M. Bryson is sponsoring a bill in her home state of Utah (HB 109) that would require informed consent before having ECT, as well as mandate data collection and other requirements when giving ECT.

HB 109 is a crucial bill that needs to be passed. ect.org supports this bill and Rep. Bryson's work without question, and I ask that you give your support to HB 109 and Rep. Bryson. Please read through the bill and take the time to express your support and thank Rep. Bryson for her hard work in getting this bill introduced into the Utah House of Representatives.

Email Rep. Katherine Bryson at Kbryson@utah.gov and let her know what you think.

If you are a resident of Utah, please do take the extra time to contact your elected officials and let them know you support this bill and expect to see it passed.

Find your elected officials at the Utah State Official Website.
