Autism Society Public Policy and Advocacy Newsletter - January 18, 2019

Ignite January 2019

 

While the national headlines focused on the partial government shutdown, there were many other actions that took place since the 116th Congress opened on January 3 that may be of interest to readers of Ignite. A bill extending the Money Follows the Person program passed Congress and awaits the President's signature; the Disability Integration Act was re-introduced in both chambers; regulatory guidance supported by disability groups were rescinded; new guidance to assist states to reduce the use/misuse of restraints and seclusion in schools was announced; the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities met to organize and strategize for the new Congress. You'll find these and more topics when you read more.
