Last week, the Pennsylvania Homecare Association (PHA) and I met with House Public Health Chairman Matt Baker to discuss the best path forward regarding our legislation, which begins to equalize access to presumptive eligibility. During the discussion, we considered potential bill sponsors, a potential legislative hearing, and potential today blocks. The bill language will now go to the Legislative Reference Bureau for approval and formatting. This is the final step before a co-sponsor memo is released and we can activate our advocates and ask for legislative sponsors. More updates coming soon.
