Hey everyone! We just got this information from our lobbyist. This requires immediate action!! See below:
The House has included in their budget $5,000,000 for restoration of mental health/substance abuse community contracts. The Senate does not have this item in their budget. Please email your legislators TODAY to ask them to SUPPORT AND CONCUR WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDED IN THE HOUSE VERSION OF THE BUDGET. We will need to send this email today to both your Senators and Representatives. We are in the final few days of the legislative session. It is very important that we contact our legislators NOW and ask for support of the mental health improvements in the House version of the budget.
If anyone needs to know who your legislator is, contact me (800) 367-4589 or go onto the website http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/.
Thanks in advance for your help in this. This affects all of us, folks!
Lisa
