The finalized priorities include a focus on Medicaid reimbursement and addressing the state being over capacity on the HCBS-FE waiver, making reforms to our life safety code and health survey agencies, passing healthcare staffing agency standards comparable to Missouri, addressing any bottlenecking in our workforce pipeline, and monitoring some other issues that may be brought by other groups.

Legislative e-blasts will plan to go out weekly on Mondays or Fridays with recaps and future forecasting. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
