Legislative Update

Thank you for your emailing your legislators. Your voice is being heard on Capitol Hill. Members of both houses have approached UPEA about the emails they are receiving from UPEA members regarding the PEHP health insurance increase.

Senator Gene Davis and Senator Luz Robles approached UPEA during the Democratic Senate caucus and wanted UPEA to know that the Democrats’ proposed budget was to keep state government whole. The Democrats’ budget was presented today at a press conference at 12:30 p.m.

Hopefully, more information will be available tomorrow. Executive Appropriations is scheduled to meet to finalize the budget.
