We’re hoping to have the 2021 legislation—the Health Security Planning & Design Board Act—this week. We'll let you know when it's finalized.
As soon as Rep. Debbie Armstrong introduces the bill in the House, it will get a bill number and then be assigned to committees. We'll keep you posted about committee hearings and how—and when—to contact your legislators.
Health Security Legislative Update This Thursday
Thursday, January 28, 7:00-8:30 PM
At this Zoom meeting, we'll be talking about what's in the Health Security Planning and Design Board Act and how a bill becomes law.
Prioritizing Health Security
As the legislative session starts off, your legislators may be reaching out to you about legislative priorities. Remember to include Health Security!
Last Friday, a dedicated Health Security supporter emailed us to say:
I have just finished filling out “constituent surveys” for my representative and senator. Both surveys asked for opinions on some specific priorities but make no mention of the Health Security Planning and Design Board bill, so I put it in on the open-ended questions.
I assume that other state senators and representatives are sending out similar surveys and adding up the results. It would be great to make sure that Health Security supporters fill out surveys highlighting the Health Security Planning and Design Board bill, so that it gets tallied up as a priority.
We agree. Make sure your senator and representative know that Health Security is your priority!
