Moving Forward: Vol. 17, Issue 6

AMENDED BUDGET: The Fiscal year 2012 budget passed the House Friday February 3rd. Senate sub-committees worked on it this week, next steps are full Senate Appropriations approval and then to the Senate Floor for the vote. In the meantime, the House has begun subcommittee meetings on the FY 2013 budget. Unlock testified yesterday to House Health committee on the need for more ICWP waivers, and we support replacing TANF supplemental money cut by the federal government that is a huge loss to the Babies Can’t Wait program in Public Health. An alert will be going out today.
Notable in the FY 2012 amended budget for the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities is language regarding the Waiting Lists, detailed below.
