How You Can Take Action Before the Senate Vote

The state’s budget bill for next year, HB1, and a supplemental bill, HB460, passed Senate Finance on Sunday. The Senate will vote on the budgets tomorrow at 3:30 PM.

Now is the time to contact your State Senator to thank them for their support and remind them how important services are to the disability community.

How to Take Action
Tell your Senator about your own experiences with disability services and the FHF Centers. Share how important it is to fund all services for people with disabilities.
