The Providers' Council surveyed its statewide human service membership on legislative priorities prior to the start of the session. Our legislative agenda is based on input from our members, Public Policy Committee, Executive Committee and Board of Directors. You can download the overall fact sheet on our legislative agenda or the overall fact sheet and all individual fact sheets. The Council's priorities for the legislative session are:

View BillThis legislation would create a student loan repayment program for low-paid, full-time human service workers.
