This week marks the last full week of the regular legislative session. As of today, global budget targets have not been announced.
While there is still uncertainty as to what the ultimate budget target will be for Human Services, last week, we did see conference committee members announced. Below is a full list of the legislators that will serve on the Human Services Omnibus Budget Conference Committee and the Human Services Omnibus Policy Conference Committee:
Human Services Omnibus Budget Conference Committee:
- House: Schomacker, Gillman, Jacob, Noor, Keeler, Curran
- Senate: Hoffman, Fateh, Maye Quade, Mohamed, Abeler
Human Services Omnibus Policy Conference Committee:
- House: Schomacker, Gander, Noor, Fredrick
- Senate: Hoffman, Fateh, Maye Quade, Rasmusson, Abeler
If you live or provide services in a district represented by one of the members on the Human Services Omnibus Budget Conference Committee, now is the time to reach out and tell your legislators the devastating impact of cuts to disability waiver residential services.
ARRM will be releasing an updated grassroots action alert today. Please take a few moments to message conference committee members and pass along the alert to everyone in your network.

ARRM staff will keep members updated as things progress this week. Please reach out with any questions.
