The AZ State Legislature remains on break for another week as they prepare to come back in June and hammer out the state budget. The majority of public health related bills have been thru the system and either passed and were signed or died a quiet death by not even having a hearing.
There are a few bills still in limbo – bulls that have made it most of the way through the system but not all the way.
Here’s a new PowerPoint with the latest on the session – from the good bills that were passed and signed, the one bad public health bill that Hobbs signed, the missed opportunities and those bills that are still languishing.
The presentation doesn’t include the budget obviously – which can have big public health implications both because appropriations (or lack thereof) and budget reconciliation bills that change PH policy.
Here’s a link to that PPT – and it’s basically what it’ll be presenting at the Rural Health Conference in early June up in Flag:
