Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how a hospital assessment is handled, allowing it to be suspended if federal law prohibits it or if it causes a loss of federal Medicaid funds. It also adjusts the percentage split of funds for hospital payments and other uses, and requires hospitals receiving increased payments to report on how they use the money. The bill also clarifies that the Commission must recommend statutory changes to the General Assembly rather than making them directly and outlines when private meetings are allowed.
