Dear Coalition Members,
HB326S01 <
http://le.utah.gov/~2008/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hb0326s01.htm> (Curtis,
G.), CHIP Open Enrollment has passed the Senate with a vote of 24 to 2
<
http://le.utah.gov/~2008/status/hbillsta/hb0326s1.001s.txt> . This
legislation opens enrollment for CHIP allowing children who are eligible to
enroll year round and not have to wait for open enrollment periods.
This bill is very exciting as it is a giant step forward for removing
barriers and getting kids in Utah the health care they need all year.
Please email or call Speaker of the House Greg Curtis
<mailto:gcurtis@???> (538-1029) and Senate President John Valentine
<mailto:jvalentine@???> (528-1035) and thank them for their
sponsorship and excellent work on this bill.
--Jerry
