Our Rally Cry: Fix The DSP Crisis!

PAR's message to legislators is:

Fund a $60 Million (in state funds) rate increase in FY 18/19 to raise DSP wages
Fund the Full Emergency Needs Waiting List Category and increase funding by $13 million for the Early Intervention Program
Enact the Rate Transparency Bill (HB 1535)

Review PAR's FY 18/19 Legislative/Budget Request and our FY 18/19 Budget talking points!
