The Arc & UCP Collaborative Testify at State Assembly Budget Committee in Support of Increased Services

Jordan Lindsey

Jordan Lindsey, Executive Director of The Arc California, Provides Testimony to The California Legislature

On March 7th the California State Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Health & Human Services heard and discussed several proposals that would have a direct impact on individuals, families, direct support professionals, and providers in the IDD community.  All of the issues were “held open”, which is typical of a hearing at this time and means that the Legislature will officially vote on all of these items after May when the state has a better fiscal understanding on tax revenue collected.
