During the week of March 10, both the Assembly and Senate versions of the palliative care council bill advanced in the Legislature.  On March 13, the Assembly Health Committee voted overwhelmingly to advance Assembly Bill 23.  The next day, the Senate Health Committee voted unanimously to approve the Senate companion bill – Senate Bill 39.  Both bills will now be referred to the full Assembly and Senate, respectively, for future legislative action.

WiAHC’s government relations team continues to aggressively lobby the Legislature to continue to move this legislation through the legislative process.
