  • HB1176 February 6, 2013 Page3
    2013 HOUSE HUMAN SERVICES HB 1176 2013 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES House Human Services Committee Fort Union Room, State Capitol HB 1176 January 21, 2013 Job # 17449 D Conference Committee Committee Clerk Signature Explanation or reason for introduction of bill/resolution:] Relating to eligibility for supplemental nutrition assistance and to temporary assistance for needy families programs. Minutes: timony#1, 2 Chairman Weisz: Opened the hearing on HB 1176. Rep. Kathy Hogan: Introduced and testified in support of the bill. (See Testimony #1) 0:00:33 - 0:03:16 The same situation could be charged as a felony in one court and with a deferred sentence in another court and there are significant differences in sentencing because this becomes a lifetime ban and that is one of my concerns. Some courts and judges are significantly more aggressive than others. Because of the severity of the band the consequence of the band on SNAP and TANF is almost more debilitating than some of the sentences. I am concerned about the mythology in which the information is obtained. Currently applicants are asked to ask if they have a felony band when they apply. If they lie they can get benefits. If they tell the truth there is a lifetime band. If the system catches them then they will have a lifetime violation but because we have a significant number of people who come from other states and there is no cross reference information, the people who are really having the lifetime band are the people who are being honest. The intent of this bill is to modifythe lifetime ban to recognize that a convicted drug felon has gone at least five years without an additional felony conviction.

  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.

  • Quarterly Cannabis Report
    News April 22, 2021 Quarterly Cannabis Report The 117th Congress is shaping up to be the year for cannabis reform. As of April 2021, 47 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both. Many of these efforts can be contributed to Steve Fox, a true pioneer of the legalization movement. Fox, managing partner of VS Strategies, and godfather of the industry, paved the path for nationwide legalization efforts and was instrumental in cannabis reform throughout the country for decades. He was one of the first to politically advocate on behalf of medical and recreational cannabis legalization, advance decriminalization measures and promote reform and social justice. As an educator and leader, Fox will be remembered for his wisdom, knowledge and kindness, and his voice, perspective and presence will be dearly missed. VS Strategies welcome the celebration of Fox’s life through the sharing of thoughts and memories, and asks for respect and privacy for his family, friends and co-workers who are still reeling from this loss. VS Strategies also started a GoFundMe page to support Fox’s wife and daughters as they navigate their way through this extremely difficult time— https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-steve-fox. FEDERAL CANNABIS PROPOSALS The SAFE Banking Act: On March 18, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. H.R.1996 that creates a safe harbor for financial institutions to provide traditional banking services to cannabis and cannabis-related businesses in states that have legalized the drug and allows cannabis and cannabis- related businesses to access traditional banking services like lines of credit, loans and wealth management.
