Good News Bringing the Light of Christ to | May/June 2021

The 2021 legislative session wrapped up on Friday, May 14th. This year’s session commenced under the continuing cloud of COVID-19, and it wasn’t clear how things would progress. Several changes were made to the way business is conducted at the Capitol in order to slow the spread of the virus. House and Senate committees, for example, allowed witnesses to submit testimony in writing, rather than requiring them to appear in person. In the House, some committees even allowed witnesses to appear via video. Session started with few members of the public present in the building, and most in attendance wearing masks. By the end of session, however, more people were showing up at the Capitol, including groups of school children, with few masks in sight as vaccines became available.

The big issue facing law makers this year was Medicaid expansion. As we have previously reported, the House and Senate both voted not to include funding for expansion of the program in the FY 2022 budget, despite voters approving the measure during the August 2020 primary election. Most of the legislators cited the lack of support for expansion in their districts and the cost of the program to the state in the future. Several would-be Medicaid recipients have now sued the state Pro-Life Legislation to allow them to enroll, and the MCC anticipates a ruling to be issued prior to July 1st. In this issue of Good News, you can see Two bills that encourage adoption and how your legislator voted on an amendment offered during foster care passed this session, and have debate on the budget that would have funded the program. already been signed by Governor Parson.

Individuals can claim adoptions, providing adoptive parents a state tax credit amounting to 100% of their donation, up up to $10,000 in tax credits for one-time to 50% of their state tax liability.
