  • 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.

    OFFICERS President Joshua Blum, MD, FASAM Immediate Past President Charles Shuman, MD, FASAM Treasurer Martin Krsak, MD, MSc, FASAM Public Policy Liaison Stephanie Stewart, MD March 23, 2021 The Honorable Rhonda Fields Chair, Senate Committee on Health and Human Services 200 East Colfax Avenue Room 357 Denver, CO, 80203 Re: Support for SB21-137 Dear Chair Fields and members of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, On behalf of the Colorado Society of Addiction Medicine (COSAM), the medical specialty society representing physicians and clinicians in Colorado who specialize in the prevention and treatment of addiction, we would like to take this opportunity to provide our support SB21-137, which takes important steps to strengthen addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts in Colorado. Additionally, this bill would place requirements on managed care organizations (MCOs) which would reduce barriers to treatment. With opioid-involved deaths surging in Colorado, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic,i now more than ever, it is vital that Coloradans have access to robust addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery services. This bill would extend funding for a variety of critical public health programs in the state. One provision would extend the duration of the pilot program established in Colorado Revised Statutes 23-21-804 through fiscal year 2023. This program significantly improved access to addiction treatment in two underserved counties.ii Another key provision reappropriates funding for an initiative by the center for research into substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery support strategies to provide continuing education and training to clinicians and law enforcement on a variety of issues including addiction treatment and the use of opioid antagonists for opioid overdoses.

  • The Arc of Colorado 2020 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2020 Legislative Scorecard The Arc of Colorado 1580 Logan St. Suite 730 Denver, CO 80203 Questions about this document? Contact: [email protected] A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, I write this letter in the wake of a historic and unprecedented legislative session. As we sit in the middle of a pandemic, we must reflect on a difficult past few months. This was a season of loss for many. We express our deep sympathy with all those who lost loved ones over the past few months. We hope that in coming sessions, we can continue work to ensure equity in treatment and care for the individuals we serve and to foster independence and community living through policy. We are deeply thankful for the work that each of our chapters and members of our community put into this legislative session. Though opportunities for testimony were limited this session, that by no means reflects a shortage of action and impact. Chapters, advocates, families, and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities came to the capitol, reached out to their legislators, advocated in their hometowns, and did so much more to ensure a successful session. We are so grateful for each of you and your efforts. It was with the advocacy, over these many decades on behalf of individuals with I/DD that important, groundbreaking bills to end the waitlist for Colorado’s most comprehensive waiver and legislation to end the practice of sub-minimum wage employment in Colorado almost passed. This legislation went further this year than ever before and, although the fiscal notes attached to them made ultimate passage impossible considering the pandemic, you should all feel immensely proud of the part you have played.
