In The Chair: President
The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.
Senator Chang asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Chang’s statement is as follows:
Last year, this Legislature approved a supplemental budget bill that provided $25 million to help providers who care for catastrophically-injured survivors of automobile accidents. Unfortunately, this money has not necessarily gone out to providers even though the industry knows that more than 100 of them have gone out of business or stopped accepting auto-accident patients. As it currently stands, the application requirements written into the boilerplate in the supplemental were so onerous, the program is virtually useless. My amendment would provide $25 million to remove those restrictions so these funds can actually go out to the providers in need that are serving our many survivors who need the help. Thank you, and I urge you to support this amendment.
