The 2021 Health Security Bill Has Been Introduced!
On Thursday, the Health Security Planning and Design Board Act, a 6-page bill to start developing the details of the Health Security Plan, was introduced in the state legislature. The bill’s sponsors are Reps. Deborah Armstrong, Tara Lujan, and Patricia Roybal Caballero. We're excited to finally have a bill!
The bill number is House Bill 203, or HB 203 for short.
HB 203 has been assigned to the House Health and Human Services Committee, which Rep. Armstrong chairs, and the House Appropriations and Finance Committee.
We expect the first hearing on the bill to take place sometime next week.
If you haven't had a chance to look at our legislative process flyer, there's no time like the present!
This is also a great time to make sure you know who your legislators are. We'll be sending out information soon on how and when to contact your legislators and how and when to sign up to speak in committee hearings.
