  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

  • February 1, 2018 the Honorable Joann Ginal, Chair Health
    Department of Health Care Policy and Financing 1570 Grant Street Denver, CO 80203 February 1, 2018 The Honorable Joann Ginal, Chair Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee 200 E. Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80203 Dear Representative Ginal: Enclosed please find a legislative report to the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing on the Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP) and Primary Care Fund. Section 25.5-3-107, C.R.S. requires the Department to prepare an annual report concerning the status of the medically indigent program to be submitted to the health and human services committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives no later than February 1 of each year. In FY 2016-17, more than 49,000 low-income Coloradans received discounted health care services through the CICP. In April 2017, the Department made changes to the CICP through the rule making process after more than 12 months of work with stakeholders. These changes included updated requirements for providers and clients alike, the addition of quality metrics into the payment calculation for participating clinics, and the creation of a formal Advisory Council. These changes have lessened the administrative burden on the CICP providers while maintaining the safety net for the CICP clients. If you require further information or have additional questions, please contact the Department’s Legislative Liaison, Zach Lynkiewicz, at [email protected] or 720-854-9882. Sincerely, Kim Bimestefer Executive

  • LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP Colorado’S 2012 Legislative Session: the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence Achieves Its Policy Priorities
    LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP Colorado’s 2012 Legislative Session: The Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence Achieves Its Policy Priorities Colorado’s 69th General Assembly wrapped up the 2012 legislative session May 9th; then, they found themselves ordered into a special session by Governor Hickenlooper to finish their busi- ness in a more democratic manner because House leadership had allowed the clock run out on the Civil Unions Bill and some 30 other bills caught up in line behind it. One of the bills which the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence invested a significant amount of time and energy on, the School Discipline Bill (Senate Bill 46), nearly failed along with the Civil Unions legislation, but was rescued during the special session by being added onto another related bill. The School Discipline Bill is one of many successful policy efforts, which CCADV accom- plished on behalf of our members and survivors this year. Other 2012 legislative priorities for the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence include Senate Bill 56, which we contributed several provisions to and provided input on other provisions which Senator Morgan Carroll brought forward. Senate Bill 56 addresses aspects of various court appointed roles in domestic relations cases and requires persons in those roles to make disclosures if they have any per- sonal, financial, or familial relationships that would create a conflict of interest with regard to the parties in the case to which they were appointed or with the court. Both of these senate bills passed and have been signed into law by the Governor! CCADV also worked diligently to support, oppose, and amend dozens of other pieces of legisla- tion this past session.
