CALLS TO ACTION FROM STARLEEN:
As the work part begins, be part of the stakeholders input. There will be meetings for policy development and they need our representation there.
HOPE Act passed, SUD Fed will respond.
SUD Fed is not too worried about the IVC Bill. The language was not ‘unhelpful-language’ and focused on streamlining . Biggest concern is that it will be overused--commitments without medical screenings.
