Many proposed bills don't make it even to this stage on their first try! This bill has had momentum and great support from our bill sponsors (Representatives Lindsay Sabadosa and Smitty Pignatelli and Senator Jo Comerford) and a committed team of advocates helping to move it along.

Unfortunately, it's about two months behind where we hoped it would be due to opposition and interference from another group, but we finally made it to the next step!!!

Now - and especially given the formal legislative season ends on July 31, we really need your help to get it through the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing and even closer to being enacted into law. This should ideally happen as quickly as possible to give time for the steps that come after that (likely going to the Senate Ways and Means Committee).

More peer respites across the Commonwealth help us all - people who might stay at the peer respites, family members, providers, peer supporters and beyond.

Be a part of making the change and ensuring that real alternatives are accessible to us all.
