The Turning Point Model State Public Health Act

The Model State Public Health Act, presented by the Turning Point Public Health Statute Modernization Collaborative, is a tool for state, local and tribal governments to use in revising or updating public health statutes and administrative rules.

Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of its Turning Point Initiative to strengthen the public health system in the United States, the Collaborative is a multi-disciplinary group comprised of representatives from five states and nine national organizations and government agencies, assisted by experts in specialty areas of public health.
