Some of the bills we are monitoring this year include several that seek to raise the wages of Director Support Professionals. CPNRI certainly supports these initiatives but also asks that the legislature provide adequate funding to permit the increases. Other pending legislation supported by CPN includes a bill that, if passed, will enable the members of CPN to self-insure for health benefits - currently, we are unable to do so. This will help organizations save administrative costs and create a more predictable annual expense. Lastly there is a bill that would allow individuals to provide SLA services for their siblings with developmental disabilities. We appreciate our legislators support on these issue and hope to see them through to signage!
