URGENT CALL TO ACTION! House Bill 1, the state's general operations bill was sent to the Senate on Friday May 11th. The bill as amended requires the Division of Administration to cut an additional $267 Million from the budget. The House voted not to accept any one-time monies in the budget to fund state government operations. Today Secretary Bruce Greenstein, Department of Health and Hospitals, told the Senate Finance Committee that if they (DHH) have to cut $100 million from the budget, all of the state general funds for school based health centers will be eliminated! It is critically important that you contact members of the Louisiana Legislature and talk to them about the importance of school based health clinics to your local community. Attached is a one page information sheet that you can share with your lawmakers. LASBHC Flyer.pdf Tell them that you are worried about what is going to happen to school based clinics if the Legislature does not recognize one-time monies in the state's budget. Tell them that the school based health centers will face closure. And tell them how important your local SBHC is to your community and the students served. Below is a link to the House House Geo List.pdf Below is a link to the Senate Senate Geo List.pdf Please direct your focus on the Senate initially but then circle back to your state representatives because after the Senate decides what to do with House Bill 1, the House will have to either accept or reject the Senate's changes to House Bill 1. Time is of the essence! Please let me know what responses you receive as a result of your outreach. Destiny362@aol.com |
