• ASRT launched three calls for action this year to support statewide legislative efforts in North Carolina, California and Massachusetts.
• ASRT launched two federal calls to action in 2025 to support federal efforts. In total, individuals sent 2,911 letters to federal lawmakers through the ASRT Advocacy Action Center.
• ASRT sent 37 letters to state and federal lawmakers and regulators. Letters voiced concern and recommended changes to proposed legislation and regulation across issue areas. ASRT's concerns included encroachment, inappropriate scope of practice expansion, remote supervision and deregulation.
