At the Senate Committee meeting on May 3, Senator Orr presented the proposed ETF budget which includes an additional $3 Million dollars for ADMH for ID/DD Community Provider rates (download below). Thank you all for your advocacy! All the emails and phone calls you have been making to your legislators is truly making a difference! So at this point we have in the proposed budgets an additional $10.5M for ID/DD provider rates: $5.5M (Governor's budget) + $2M (General Fund) + $3M (Education Trust Fund)! This still does not get us enough funds to fully implement all of the HMA Rate Study recommendations, however it does get us closer.
