UPDATE FROM THE SENATE - Noah Berger, Chief Policy Advisor to Senate President Birmingham and Tom Dehner, Counsel to Senate Ways & Means, and Emily Ericson, Senate Ways & Means Health Analyst, attended our coalition meeting representing Senate President Birmingham and Senate Ways & Means Chairman/Lead Senate Sponsor Mark Montigny. They thanked our coalition for its continued hard work and shared that Senate leaders are hard at work on our bill and are hoping to report our Health Now! legislation out of Senate Ways and Means to the Senate Floor before the end of September. (Interestingly enough, the Health Now! bill currently before Senate Ways and Means is H.2169, sponsored by Representatives Kaprielian and Rogers and 44 other Reps.)
