ABELER HAD AN AMENDMENT. DO YOU HAVE DUPLICATES. I DO NO. WHEN YOU HAVE DUPLICATES AFTER THAT IF YOU COULD ALLOW ME TO KNOW WHICH ONE ONE YOU WOULD LOVE TO OFFER FIRST.
SEN. PORT. MME. CHAIR IF WE CONTAINER RELOCATE THE A71 FIRST. SEN. MANN WILL RELOCATE THE A71 MODIFICATION. IT IS BEING PASSED OUT. SEN. PORT TO YOUR CHANGE. THIS IS A REALLY SIMPLE AMENDMENT LAST WEEK WHEN WE MET WE INCLUDED RECOVERY TO THE PART OF THE EXPENSE IN PREVENTION THERAPY AND ALSO RECUPERATION AS WELL AS RECOVERY WAS MISSED ON ONE LINE SO THIS INCLUDES THE RECOVERY PART THAT WAS MISSED OUT ON ON THAT PARTICULAR LINE. PARTICIPANTS ANY CONCERNS ON THE A71 MODIFICATION? SEEING NO DOUBT ALL THOSE FOR THE AMENDMENT PLEASE SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSED THE MOTION DOES PREVAIL THE MODIFICATION IS ADOPTED.
SEN. PORT DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER MODIFICATION. YES IF WE CANISTER MOVE THE A73 MODIFICATION. SEN. MANN WILL YOU MOVE THE AMENDMENT PLEASE. SO MOVED. THE MODIFICATION IS BEING LOST CONSCIOUSNESS THE A73. SEN. PORT CONTAINER YOU DEFINE THE MODIFICATION. INDEED THANK YOU MME. CHAIR THIS IS AN CHANGE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON WITH NAMI TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF CONCERNS THEY HAVE IN THE BILL. IT DOES A PAIR OF MATTERS, FIRST IT GATHERS DATA FROM STATE COURTS AND ALSO HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ON THE UTILIZATION OF MENTAL WELLNESS AND COMPOUND USAGE DISORDERS EMERGENCY CLINIC VISITS AND ALSO MATTERS LIKE THAT WE ARE GATHERING THE INFO TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RISE OF BROWS THROUGH AND THE SOLUTIONS REQUIRED AND OBTAINS A RECAP SO WE ARE MAKING CERTAIN WE ARE COLLECTING THE DATA TO LEARN IF THERE ARE BOOSTS IN MINNESOTA. IT ADDITIONALLY INCLUDES HILD WELFARE WORKERS TO A PART OF THE COSTS I WILL CERTAINLY MISS OVER THAT FOR A MINUTE WHILE WE PULL THAT UP.
IT CALLS FOR MARIJUANAS FLOWER AND CANNABINOID PRODUCTS NECESSITY BE UNATTAINABLE TO KIDS AS WELL AS STORED AWAY FROM FOOD PRODUCTS WARNING LABELS LIKE THAT PLACES THE COMMISSIONER OF HUMAN SERVICES TO CREATE THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNDER TREATMENT AS OPPOSED TO THE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH. WE WILL CERTAINLY TAKE ON EVIDENCE-BASED CULTURALLY INFORMED AND RESPONSIVE TREATMENTS AND ALSO SERVICES THAT FUNDS ARE USED TO PROMOTE THE EXPANSION OF AS WELL AS RECOVERY EXPERTS WHICH IS A SPECIFIC PIECE WE INTEND TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED IN ALL OF THE RESEARCH STUDY IN THE OTHER STATES KIND OF PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION AND LEARNING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE BOTH IN PROTECTING AGAINST FIRST USAGE AND ALSO THROUGH RECUPERATION.
THE EVEN MORE ASSISTANCE YOU HAVE FROM YOUR P ARE NETWORK THE EVEN MORE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET EXACT DETAILS FROM YOUR P ARE NETWORK THE BETTER IT IS THE EVEN MORE IT STICKS AND ALSO ACTUALLY CURBS HABITS. THAT IS An ITEM WE WISHED TO DEVELOP OUT IN THIS, THE LAST BIG THING THAT THIS DOES IS IT DELETES THE SUBSTANCE USE ADVISORY COUNCIL THAT'' S DEVELOPED IN THE BILL AND ALSO RATHER POINTS BACK TO SUBSTANCE USAGE AS WELL AS OPIOID COUNSEL THAT THE GOVERNOR ALREADY HAS WE DISCUSSED THAT A LITTLE BIT LAST WEEK AND IN SPEAKING WITH DHS AS WELL AS THE GOV.'' S WORKPLACE AND ALSO WITH TREATMENT AS WELL AS RECUPERATION SPECIALISTS THEY SAY THIS WOULD BE A DUPLICATE OF COUNCIL AND ALSO THAT ADVISE ACTUALLY IS ALREADY DOING FUNCTION THROUGHOUT THE STATE AS WELL AS THEY WOULD INSTEAD HAVE IT DIRECT DIRECTLY TO THAT GUIDANCE.
PARTICIPANTS ANY CONCERNS ON THE CHANGE? SEEING NO CONCERNS ON THE A73 MODIFICATION ALL THOSE IN SUPPORT SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED, THE MOVEMENT IS ADOPTED THE ACTIVITY PASSES AND ALSO THE CHANGE IS EMBRACED. THE LAST ONE I WILL CERTAINLY OFFER MME. CHAIR IS THE A72. SEN. MANN WOULD YOU SUPPLY THE A72 AMENDMENT. SO MOVED. THE A72 MODIFICATION IS BEING LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. SEN. PORT PLEASE DESCRIBE THE MODIFICATION. THIS ADDS INTO THE TYPE OF LIST OF WARNINGS THAT REQUIRED TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE OFFICE A SPECIFIC WARNING LABEL REQUIRING REGARDING THE RESULTS OF USAGE OF MARIJUANA FLOWER AND ALSO CANNABINOID PRODUCTS FOR FOLKS 25 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER THIS IS A PART WE HAVE SPOKE ABOUT THROUGHOUT TESTIMONY OCCASIONALLY ARE SEVERAL PLACES IN THE BILL WHERE WE HAVE PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION AND LEARNING IN WHICH WE HAVE PUBLIC SERVICE EDUCATION AND LEARNING AND ALSO POINTS LIKE THAT BUT WE ARE ALSO ADDING THE CAUTION TAG.
MEMBERS ANY CONCERNS ON THE AMENDMENT? SEEING NO DOUBT ON THE A72 CHANGE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED, THE ACTIVITY DOES COME ON THE MODIFICATION IS EMBRACED. ANY FURTHER MODIFICATIONS. THAT'' S WHAT I HAVE TO RELOCATE THANKS. RELOCATING TO MEMBER AMENDMENTS EXIST ANY FURTHER MODIFICATIONS SEN. ABELER. MANY THANKS MME. CHAIR I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A NEW DUPLICATE AVAILABLE I DON'' T REMEMBER THE NUMBER BUT IT ' S ONE TO CHANGE THE AGE FROM AGE 21 UP TO 25. 25. I SEE COUNSEL HAS THE AMENDMENT OR YOU DO NOT.
MME. CHAIR IT IS THE A60 THREE MODIFICATION. 3 MODIFICATION. I WILL RELOCATE THE CHANGE I WEAR'' T KNOW IF YOU NEED A COPY ALL OVER IT SAYS AGE 21 IT 21 IT WOULD MODIFICATION TO AGE 25 25 THERE'' S A NUMBERS OF CITATIONS BUT THE REMAINDER OF THE COSTS STAYS THE SAME. I WILL MOVE THE CHANGE AND AFTERWARDS DEAL A REMARK. SEN. ABELER MOVES THE A60 3 MODIFICATION SEN. PORT ANY REMARKS. THANKS MME. CHAIR I ASK PARTICIPANTS TO VOTE NO ON THIS AS AS A NATION WE HAVE AGREED THE AGE OF 21 YOU ARE ADULTS AND ALSO WE ARE OFFERING ENOUGH EDUCATION AND LEARNING PARTICULARLY TO THE KINDS OF EDUCATION AND LEARNING IN THIS EXPENSE THAT WE ARE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH STUDIES IN OTHER STATES HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE TO OBTAIN THE DETAILS TO YOUNGSTER ABOUT THE THREATS.
AT SOME POINT THEY ARE ADULTS AS WELL AS WE NEED TO COUNT ON THEY WILL TAKE THE INFORMATION AND USE IT TO MAKE THE IDEAL CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES. ALSO I WOULD ADD ALCOHOL HAS ADVERSE RESULTS ON THE MIND NO ONE IS CALLING TO RELOCATE THE ADULTNESS OF DRAINING TO AGE 25 MIND ADVANCEMENT 25 MIND DEVELOPMENT BEYOND BRAIN DEVELOPING BOTH ALCOHOL AS WELL AS TOBACCO HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER WELLNESS CONCERNS AND WE ARE NOT TYPE OF SINGLING THEM OUT IN THAT METHOD MY BIGGEST ARGUMENT IS THIS COSTS IS BUILT ON THE PROPERTY THAT RESTRICTION HAS NOT FUNCTIONED IT IS A STOPPED WORKING SYSTEM THAT IS NOT KEPT MARIJUANA OUT OF THE HANDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE PAID A REALLY HIGH EXPENSE FOR THAT. IF OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE AGE OF 21 TO AGE 25 NOT USE 25 NOT USAGE CANNABIS WHY WOULD WE FOCUS ON FELL SHORT RESTRICTION SYSTEM THAT IS NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE IN DOING THAT UP UNTIL NOW INSTEAD WE MUST CONCENTRATE ON THE THINGS WE KNOW THAT FUNCTION WHICH IS PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION AND LEARNING WHICH IS GETTING PUBLIC SOLUTION EDUCATION AVAILABLE WHICH IS WORKING THROUGH THE SYSTEMS THAT WE KNOW CONTAINER BE EFFECTIVE.
IF WE WERE TO ELEVATE THE AGE TO 25 WE WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON YOUTH FOR THE ILLEGAL MARKET TO TARGET THEM IN OUR GOAL IN THIS EXPENSE IS TO FUNCTION AND UTILIZE THE VERY BEST TECHNIQUE WE HAVE ACROSS OTHER STATES TO DESTROY THE ILLICIT MARKET AND THIS WOULD BE SHINING A LIMELIGHT TO THEM TO TARGET OUR YOUTH SO FOR THAT FACTOR I ASK FOR A NO VOTE. MEMBERS ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION OR TALKS ABOUT THE MODIFICATION SEN. ABELER. I WON'' T BELABOR THIS WE DISCUSSED THIS A LITTLE BEFORE, I AGREE YOU INTEND TO SAFEGUARD THE YOUNGSTERS FROM THE ILLEGAL MARKET BUT I ALSO DON'' T AGREE THAT WE DEMAND TO NEGLECT EVERY SCIENTIFIC OPINION ABOUT THE DAMAGES OF THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCT EVEN IN YOUR LAST CHANGE WARNING TAG ABOUT UNDER AGE 25 WHEN IT'' S AGE 21 WITH A 21 WITH A WARNING TAG THE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BLOW THIS ADVISING UP AS WELL AS HOLDING ON THE WALL SURFACE IN THEIR DORMITORY SPACE BECAUSE IT'' S GOING TO BE FUNNY BECAUSE IT ' S IMMATERIAL WE HEARD THE GOOD GOV.
VENTURA SAY IF YOU'' RE ABLE TO BE IN THE ARMED FORCE MUST BE ABLE TO SMOKE A JOINT IT'' S SIMPLY THAT CASUAL NO BIG OFFER. I SPOKE TO SOME DRUG INDIVIDUALS TODAY THE GROWTH IN MEDICINE TREATMENT THESE DAYS THE QUICK DEVELOPMENT REMAINS IN MARIJUANA IN THE EXISTING SCENARIOS WHEN WE MAKE IT LEGAL THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE IN YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT YOU DISCUSSED EVEN MORE THERAPY YOU SPOKE ABOUT FIRST EPISODE OF CYCLE UNTIL YOU'' RE 25 I 25 I WEAR ' T CARE IF WE GO TO WE HAVE A SMOKING CIGARETTES THINK WE CONTAINER BUY CIGARETTES WHEN YOU'' RE 21 BUT 21 BUT YOU CANISTER SMOKE THEM WHEN YOU'' RE 18 THAT IS GOOFY BUT ACTUALLY A PERSON THOUGHT IT MADE SENSE AS WELL AS MAYBE IT'' S HELPING MINIMIZE SMOKING CIGARETTES.
I BUT I CANISTER TELL YOU PASSING THIS COSTS AT AGE 21 WILL INJURY PEOPLE PASSING THIS EXPENSE AT AGE 21 21 WILL MAKE EVEN MORE CASES OF THE MOTHER WHO SAT THERE ABOUT HER KID WITH PSYCHOSIS WHO AT AGE 22 22 WHO IN FACT KILLED HIMSELF DEATH THIS BILL AT AGE 21 21 WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND ALSO I TIN'' T REMEMBER A TIME IN THIS BODY WHEN WE PASSED A BILL THAT WE KNOW WOULD CAUSE HARM AND ALSO THAT'' S WHY URGE MEMBERS TO ELECT FOR AGE 25 AND ALSO PUT A BIG CELEBRITY ON THEIR IT'' S NOT MY OBJECTIVE TO HINDER THE BILL BUT IT'' S MY OBJECTIVE TO MAKE THE BILL WE PASSED BE ONE THAT YOU CONTAINER HAVE SOME CONFIDENCE IN THAT PEOPLE WHO ADHERE TO THE REGULATION WILL NOT DO INJURY THAT'' S ALL I HAVE MME. CHAIR. SEN. MANN. THANKS MME. CHAIR THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME WITH QUITE A LITTLE BIT AS YOU KNOW AND SO I WAS LEANING TOWARDS THIS ENTIRE TIME VOTING FOR THE AGE BOOST HOWEVER LAST EVENING I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE CONSISTING OF POLICE FELLOW PHYSICIANS, INDIVIDUALS FROM COLORADO I MADE A WHOLE NIGHT OF IT IT WAS WONDERFUL.
A PAIR OF MATTERS ATTRACTED ATTENTION IN MY MIND ONE IS ONE IS THIS IDEA THAT WE AS A CULTURE HAVE MADE A DECISION THAT 21 21 MAKES YOU AN GROWNUP I WEAR'' T KNOW IF I CONCUR NECESSARILY I KEEP IN MIND BEING 21 AS WELL AS BEING A FULL PINHEAD BUT THAT ' S WHAT WE HAVE CHOSE COLLECTIVELY AND ALSO I DON'' T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD SMOKE MARIJUANA AT THAT YOUNG AGE I WEAR'' T THINK INDIVIDUALS SHOULD CONSUME ALCOHOL AT 21 BUT AGAIN 21 BUT AGAIN WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO MAKE HER OWN SELECTIONS AT AGE 21. THE VARIOUS OTHER POINT IS IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IF WE TAKE THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE AS WELL AS SAY YOU CANISTER NOT DO THIS THERE ALREADY DOING IT RIGHT, 21-YEAR-OLDS WITH 25 THERE 25 THERE ALREADY USING IF THEY'' RE GOING TO USE CANNABIS THERE ALREADY USING CANNABIS IN THE STATES THAT HAVE LEGALIZED IT THE USE FOR THAT AGE GROUP 21 THROUGH 25 DID NOT 25 DID NOT BOOST IN THAT STUCK OUT TO ME A FAIR BIT WHAT OCCURRED BECAUSE AGE GROUP THERE ABLE TO OBTAIN A LEGAL ITEM THAT IS REGULATED AS OPPOSED TO ACQUIRING FENTANYL TIED PRODUCTS ON THE STREET.
SO WHILE I STILL IS DIFFICULT FOR ME BECAUSE IT OPERATE IN THE ER I HAVE An EXTREMELY SKEWED VISION OF WHAT TAKES PLACE WHEN THERE'' S ALCOHOL USE AND ALSO SUBSTANCE ABUSE I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITE AND ALSO I ASSUME IF WE INTEND TO DO OUR BEST TO NOT ALIENATE PEOPLE TO NOT PUT FIRE UNDER AN UNLAWFUL MARKET TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE OBTAINING A SAFER PRODUCT, THEN I ASSUME ELECTING MAINTAINING AGE 21 IS THE 21 IS THE RIGHT CHOICE. THANK YOU SEN. MANN. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? WE WILL RELOCATE TO A VOTE AND ON THE A60 THREE AMENDMENT OFFERED THREE CHANGE OFFERED BY SEN. ABELER ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSED, THE MOTION DOES NOT PREVAIL THE AMENDMENT IS NOT EMBRACED. THANK YOU MME.

HOFFMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT CARRYING THIS BUT I ALSO OFFERED TO LUG IT IF HE WASN'' T BELOW I WOULD RELOCATION THE
A70 MODIFICATION. SEN. LIESKE MOVES THE A70 CHANGE THAT WILL BE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. SEN. LIESKE CANISTER YOU DEFINE THE AMENDMENT. I WILL CERTAINLY DO THE VERY BEST I TIN. THE AMENDMENT BASICALLY DEFINES A RESEARCH STUDY WILL BE DONE ON THE RESERVATIONS IN ORDER TO SEE IF THERE'' S ANY INCREASES IN USAGE OR POINTS OF THAT NATURE I THINK THAT'' S THE BASICS OF WHAT THIS AMENDMENT WILL CERTAINLY ATTEMPT TO ACCOMPLISH. SEN. PORT ANY RESPONSE. THANKS MME. CHAIR SEN. LIESKE I'' M WONDERING HAS THERE BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TRIBES ON THIS I'' VE BEEN TALKING WITH THEM QUITE A WHOLE LOT AND ALSO HAVE NOT HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS ITEM. SEN. LIESKE. MME. CHAIR YES AS FOR I KNOW THEY HAVE SEN. ECO-FRIENDLY WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH THE TRIBES AS WELL AS HE PROVIDED THIS AS A FEASIBLE MODIFICATION FOR THIS COMMITTEE SO SINCE HE'' S NOT RESTING ON IT HE ASKED ME AS WELL AS SEN.
HOFFMAN TO CONSIDER THE OPPORTUNITY OF BRING THIS FORWARD TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION EASILY AVAILABLE. SEN. PORT. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR NOW I WOULD REQUEST A NO VOTE ON THIS I'' M NOT EXACTLY SURE THIS IS THE LOCATION TO ACCOMPLISH RESEARCH ON THE VARIETY OF MURDERS AND DEATH PRICES ESPECIALLY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION IN MY LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TRIBES I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS AT ALL SO I WOULD ASK FOR A NO VOTE. SEN. ABELER. THANKS MME. CHAIR AND SEN. PORT IS THIS EXPENSE GOING TO THE HUMAN SOLUTIONS COMMITTEE NEXT. IT IS. ADAM CHAIR I WOULD HAVE A POINTER NONE OF US HAVE SEEN THIS ADAM UP THIS IS An EXCELLENT AMENDMENT OR OTHERWISE, HOW COULD SEN. HOFFMAN NOT HAVE A GOOD MODIFICATION THAT SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE SINCE WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE BOARD CURRENTLY THAT THE AMENDMENT IS OUT THERE APPEARS INDIVIDUALS CONTAINER REACT TO IT SO MAYBE YOU INTEND TO CONSIDER WAITING ON THIS.
THANKS AS WELL AS SEN. LIESKE. SUPERVISOR I WILL CERTAINLY TAKE OUT THE AMENDMENT FOR NOW AND WILL LET IT HAVE FACTOR TO CONSIDER IN THE NEXT BOARD. THANKS SEN. LIESKE WITHDRAWS THE A70 MODIFICATION I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED AS WELL AS SEN. PORT AND ALSO DISCUSS WHETHER THE STATS RECORDING THE DATA WOULD BE SOMETHING WOULD BE MEANINGFUL AS WELL AS OF PASSION. ANY OTHER MODIFICATIONS? PARTICIPANTS DO YOU HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS OR CONVERSATION PRIOR TO WE MOST LIKELY TO THE AUTHOR SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR I HAVE A NUMBER OF CONCERNS I WOULD LOVE TO GO THROUGH WITH THE AUTHOR TO OBTAIN SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND ALSO I WILL CERTAINLY TAKE THEM AS I HAVE THEM TO AS WELL AS GO FORWARD. UNDER THE DEFINITIONS IN THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO COME UP IN VARIOUS DETAILS THROUGHOUT THE EXPENSE BUT IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE WAY I HAVE THEM YOU HAVE BONA FIDE LABOR COMPANY AS WELL AS YOU HIGHLIGHT THAT WHY? IT APPEARS YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY CLAIMING ALL STAFF MEMBERS ARE PARTICIPANTS OF AN ARRANGED LABOR UNIT IS THAT CORRECT AND WHITE.
THANKS MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS SEN. UTKE YES AS WE ARE ESTABLISHING UP THIS NEW MARKET WE NEED TO ENSURE IT HAS GOOD PAYING EXCELLENT BENEFIT JOBS FOR MINNESOTANS THIS COSTS WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED IN SIZE IN THE LABOR COMMITTEE ON THURSDAY I BELIEVE DOES NEED A LABOR PEACE CONTRACT. SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR MY ONLY COMMENT THERE AS WELL AS I WOULD FOLLOW TO SEE WHAT WE SEE APPEAR OF THE TASKS COMMITTEE OR LABOR COMMITTEE YOU SAID BUT THE FACT THAT THERE AN ORGANIZED LABOR SYSTEM DOES NOT YOU DISCUSSED GOOD PAY AND ADVANTAGES, THAT DOESN'' T SIGNIFY THAT HOLDS TRUE MAYBE THE OTHER WAY TOO. I WILL WAIT TO SEE WHAT ADDITIONAL APPEARS I OCCUR TO SEE THAT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. ON WEB PAGE 6 PAGE 6 DIVISION OF SOCIAL EQUITY ADVERTISES DEVELOPMENT STABILITY AND SECURITY IN COMMUNITIES THAT EXPERIENCED AT THIS PROPORTIONATE NEGATIVE INFLUENCE FROM CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND USAGE.
I RECOGNIZE THAT'' S GOING AHEAD UP RIGHT HERE LATER ONCE MORE IN THE EXPENSE, WHY WOULD NOT HAVING LEGALIZED MARIJUANA BE An ISSUE? I DON'' T SEE WHERE WE ARE TARGETING AS WELL AS SING WE HAVE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ENDURING BECAUSE THEY DON'' T HAVE THAT. WE ARE GOING TO SEE AS WE GO FURTHER INTO THE BILL THE FACT THAT IT'' S ACKNOWLEDGING THE FACT WERE GOING TO SATISFY EVEN MORE SU D SERVICES WE WILL CERTAINLY REQUIRED MORE CHALLENGES WITH YOUTH WE WILL HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS SIMPLY ATTEMPTING TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS An ISSUE NOT HAVING IT. SEN. PORT. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. UTKE WHAT THIS IS REALLY ACQUIRING AT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS IT'' S REAL IN MINNESOTA PEOPLE OF COLOR AND ALSO WHITE INDIVIDUALS USAGE CANNABIS AT ROUGHLY THE VERY SAME PRICES NEARLY SIMILAR PRICES YET THEY ARE PROSECUTED AT SIGNIFICANTLY VARIOUS PRICES OVER FOUR – ONE THAT THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE PROSECUTED FOR HAVING CANNABIS FOR UTILIZING CANNABIS AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE THAN WHITE INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS WHAT THIS GETS AT IS THERE HAS BEEN A DISCRIMINATORY COST TO MARIJUANA RESTRICTION THAT IS INFLUENCED CERTAIN AREAS GREATER THAN OTHERS AND WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO GO OUT IS IF YOU BELONG TO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS BEEN TARGETED AND PAID A MUCH HIGHER PRICE THAN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY THAT WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN AS MARIJUANA IS NO MORE BANNED AS WELL AS HAS A LAWFUL MARKET IS ESTABLISHING AND I'' M SURE YOU ' LL GET THE TO THIS IN YOUR QUESTIONS THAT YOU WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A RISK YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO OBTAIN INTO THIS INDUSTRY THAT HAS ACTUALLY CREATED SUCH DRASTIC HARM THROUGH PARTICULARLY BLACK MINNESOTAN COMMUNITIES.
SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR I THINK THE ANSWER SORT OF GOT AWAY FROM WHAT THIS AREA WAS DISCUSSING THIS IS SIMPLY SPEAKING ABOUT THEY DIDN'' T HAVE IT WASN ' T AVAILABLE WE ARE GOING RIGHT INTO THE LAWFUL SIDE EVEN MORE OF APPREHENSIONS AS WELL AS SUCH I PUT ON'' T SEE A CONNECTION THERE TO TALK ABOUT IT SAFEGUARDS THE STATE'' S PASSIONS. WHY WOULD THAT BE THE CASE IT ESSENTIALLY FROM WHAT I AM SEEING THE ORGANIZED LABOR WORKER GROUP THAT WOULD BE WORKING THERE IS FORBIDDEN TO PICK IT OR HAVE FUNCTION STANDSTILL ETC.
. AROUND THE MARIJUANA BUSINESS BUT WHY DOES THAT SAFEGUARD THE STATES INTEREST. SEN. PORT. MME. CHAIR CONTAINER INTRODUCE MY PROFESSIONAL ALSO AS WELL AS HAVE HER TAKE THIS INQUIRY. APPEAL STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE DOCUMENT AND RESPONSE THE QUESTION.E PROJECT SUPERVISOR FOR MN PREPARES THE STATES LARGEST AND THE MAJORITY OF DIVERSE UNIONS OF MARIJUANA POLICY STAKEHOLDERS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS WELL AS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH OF THE PLAN STUDY AS WELL AS STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT TOWARDS PRODUCTION IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXPENSE.
MME. CHAIR AND SEN. UTKE THE LABOR PEACE AGREEMENT ARRANGEMENT DOESN'' T CALL FOR TOTALITY OF THE WORKFORCE IN THE CANNABIS MARKET BE UNIONIZED BUT IT NEEDS LABOR TRANQUILITY AGREEMENTS SINCE SINCE ONE OF THE MAJOR PUBLIC POLICY GOALS OF THIS EXPENSE IS TO REMOVE THE ILLEGAL MARKET AND ALSO TO GUARANTEE THERE'' S AMPLE SUPPLY OF WELL-REGULATED PRODUCT THAT IS SAFE AND READILY AVAILABLE TO CONS CONSUMERS, THE WORRY FROM THE STATE INTEREST POINT OF VIEW WITH HAVING A LABOR CONCERN THAT HINDERS SUPPLY IS THAT WOULD THEN PUSH CUSTOMERS TO BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS FROM AN ILLICIT MARKET WHERE THEY ARE LESS SECURE AS WELL AS UNREGULATED THE LABOR TRANQUILITY ARRANGEMENT ARE NOT UNUSUAL IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THAT WHERE THERE'' S PROBLEMS OF WELLNESS AS WELL AS SAFETY AND SECURITY F PUBLIC INTEREST THAT MAY BE DISRUPTED OR COMPROMISED DUE TO A LABOR CONFLICT.
SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR I GUESS A BIT OF A COMMENT THE FACT THAT THIS WOULD IT WAS BROUGHT UP I WILL DISCUSS THE ILLEGAL MARKET IS GOING TO VANISH THAT IS FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE SEEN HERE REVIEWING ETC. OR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS IT DOESN'' T HAPPEN THAT ' S A WISHFUL THINKING. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES IT EXPANDS BECAUSE WE EXPOSE YOUNGSTER TO THE PRODUCT PERHAPS THROUGH A LEGAL PURCHASE BUT IT LEADS TO THE ILLEGAL MARKET.
I PUT ON'' T SEE THAT AGAIN AS ANYTHING THAT REFERS TO CONTROLLING AS WELL AS REDUCING IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ONLY GOING TO BROADEN MAKING USE OF THIS ITEM. I STAND UP TO WEB PAGE PAGE 15 AND ALSO YOU HAVE A MEDICAL CANNABIS PROGRAM IT SPEAKS ABOUT THE TASKS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WELLNESS, THIS IS ALL BEING MOVED SPECIFICALLY THE CLINICAL MARIJUANA FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF WELLNESS TO THIS NEW WORKPLACE. HOW IS THAT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF WELLNESS AND THIS NEW WORKPLACE DO YOU SEE THAT WORKING, PARTICULARLY THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS STILL SO-CALLED WELLNESS PRODUCT THEY'' RE GOING TO NEED TO FUNCTION WITH EACH OTHER WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT HOW DO YOU SEE THAT WORKING. THANKS MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. UTKE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROVISIONS IN THE BILL SPECIFICALLY AS IT OBTAINS TO THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM WHERE THEY FUNCTION IN TANDEM WITH EACH OTHER THEY WILL WORK TOGETHER HOWEVER PUTTING ALL OF IT UNDER ONE FOR THE LICENSING FOR REGULATIONS AND ALSO FOR CHECKING FOR EVERY ONE OF THOSE PIECES, IT MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE THAN LEAVING THAT SORT OF OFF TO THE SIDE UNDER THE DIVISION OF WELLNESS.
WE HAVE FOLKS FROM DHS HERE TODAY IF YOU HAVE ADDED INQUIRIES ON THAT THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO ASK. SEN. UTKE. MME. CHAIR I BELIEVE WE MUST THIS IS THE WELLNESS BOARD I BELIEVE IT'' S IMPORTANT TO HEAR THAT. THE DIVISION OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS HERE, WELCOME TO THE BOARD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE DOCUMENT. I AM THE SUPERVISOR OF THE CLINICAL CANNABIS PROGRAM AT THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS MANY THANKS MME. CHAIR. SEN. UTKE YOU HAVE An INQUIRY FOR THE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR MY CONCERN WAS WE SEE EVERYTHING RELOCATE'' S DEVELOPING ON THE LEISURE SIDE A NEW OFFICE FOR CANNABIS BUT IT'' S ALSO BRINGING ALONG THE CLINICAL MARIJUANA WHICH WOULD HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION REGARDING IT'' S COMPONENT OF MEDICAL CARE AND ALSO IT'' S BEING CONFORMED. HOW DO YOU SEE MY QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE WORKING PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE IT'' S STILL PRESCRIBED AS A HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRODUCT THE RELATIONSHIP IN BETWEEN THE NEW OFFICE AS WELL AS THE EXISTING DEPARTMENT OF WELLNESS WILL YOU STILL BE ENTAILED OR HOW DO YOU SEE THAT IT'' S ALL KINDA PROPOSED IT STILL THEORETICALLY HOW DO YOU READ THAT.
MISS EMPHASES. MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. UTKE THE COSTS MAINTAINS THE MEDICAL PROGRAM THE DEFINITIONS OF MEDICAL CANNABIS PRODUCTS IT PRESERVES THE FRAMEWORK OF THE OFFICE OF MEDICAL CANNABIS AS IT OPERATES TODAY IT DOES CREATE NEW PERMIT CLASSIFICATIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURERS BUT MAINLY THE OFFICE WILL CERTAINLY KEEP THE MEANS THAT IT RUNS TODAY.THE METHOD WE OPERATE AS AN AGENCY NOW IS WE HAVE VERY SOLID PARTNERSHIPS WITH VARIOUS OTHER COMPANIES AS AN EXAMPLE THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM HAS SOLID PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MINNESOTA DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE NOW AND WE SEEK TO THEM FOR THEIR PROFICIENCY ON CULTIVATION AND PESTICIDE USAGE AND ALSO OTHER DETAILS THAT RUN OUT THE WHEELHOUSE OF THE DIVISION OF WELLNESS AS WELL AS I WOULD IMAGINE A SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER AGENCIES AS NEEDED WOULD BE WHAT OCCURS WITH THE OFFICE OF MARIJUANA ADMINISTRATION THEY WOULD FAUCET RIGHT INTO VARIOUS OTHER LOCATIONS OF COMPETENCE WITH INTERAGENCY CONTRACTS OR IN CASUAL CONVERSATIONS WERE TOPIC EXPERTS AS NEEDED. SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR THAT'' S WHAT I WAS SEEKING. MME. CHAIR IF I COULD THERE REMAINS IN THAT SAME AREA WE SPEAK ABOUT MAKING LOANS AS WELL AS GRANTS FOR THESE PROGRAMS. WHAT KIND OF MONEY OR AMOUNTS DO YOU SEE AS BEING UTILIZED IN FUNDINGS AND GIVES DUE TO THE FACT THAT TO ME I WILL CERTAINLY THROW IT AROUND SO YOU CONTAINER REPLY TO IT TO LET United States KNOW WHAT THESE LOANS AS WELL AS GRANTS WILL END UP DOING TO ME IT'' S BRINGING CANNABIS DISPENSARY TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU. WHAT IS THE SUGGESTION BEHIND THIS AND HOW BIG WILL IT BE. SEN. PORT. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS SEN. UTKE, THERE ARE NOT FINANCIAL NUMBERS IN THIS BILL YET WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE FISCAL NOTES THOSE WILL BE ADDED BUT WHAT I CAN INFORM YOU ABOUT THE PROGRAMS IS THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY TO ASSIST PEOPLE OBTAIN RIGHT INTO A NEW INDUSTRY WE ARE GOING TO DEMAND TO ESTABLISH A DURABLE INDUSTRY WE DON'' T WANT IT TO BE ONE OR TWO KIND OF 2 TYPE OF HUGE CONGLOMERATES THAT HAVE THE ENTIRE MARKET OUR OBJECTIVE WAS ESTABLISHING THESE PROGRAMS BOTH FOR CULTIVATORS TO OBTAIN SERVICE COMPETENCE TO OPEN WHICHEVER DEGREE OF LICENSING YOU HAVE TO DO EDUCATION AROUND THAT.
THE IDEA IS TO ASSIST PEOPLE AS WELL AS THERE IS THE SOCIAL EQUITY ELEMENT TO THIS ALSO FROM COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN HARMED AND INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS SECTOR TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO AT A SMALLER MINNESOTA-BASED BUSINESSES WHAT WE ARE WANTING TO AVOID IS HAVING ONE OR TWO OF THE BIG GUYS FROM OUT-OF-STATE CAN BE FOUND IN AND ALSO OVERALL MARKET WE WISH TO OFFER AN POSSIBILITY FOR MINNESOTANS TO RUN THIS MARKET IN SMALL BUSINESSES IN WAYS THAT CAN GROW BUT DO NOT RELY UPON A COUPLE OF LARGE TWO HUGE STAKEHOLDERS. SEN. UTKE. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AND ONE AMONG MY QUESTIONS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THAT'' S AT THE END OF THE COSTS WILL BE WHAT WE HEARD ABOUT A FISCAL KEEP IN MIND, WE ARE 9 WEEKS RIGHT INTO SESSION DEFINITELY HAD THIS COSTS AVAILABLE PRIOR TO SESSION, DO WE HAVE ANY SUGGESTION WHEN WE ARE GOING TO SEE THESE NUMBERS.
THANKS MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. UTKE I DO NOT I UNDERSTAND WE GOT ANOTHER SECTION OF IT WAS FILLED OUT BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING ON THE COMPLETE FISCAL N KEEP IN MIND. SEN. UTKE. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR I SEE POINTS I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED AS MUCH AS A FEW OF THE STUDIES THAT ARE REQUIRED DRIVING IMPAIRED AS WELL AS SUCH, I DON'' T THINK WE NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND INITIATIVE ON THE RESEARCHES THE INFORMATION IS ALREADY THERE. AS AN EXAMPLE I UNDERSTAND IN MY RESIDENCE AREA THIS IS PROBABLY A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO AT LEAST THEY WERE SPEAKING ABOUT WE NO LONGER HOUSE INMATES FROM OTHER COUNTIES BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PRISON FULL ON OUR OWN AND WE HAVE A NEW OR WHAT MUST BE A LARGE JAIL IS METHOD EVEN MORE THAN WE NEEDED AS WELL AS HUBBARD REGION BUT IT'' S VIRTUALLY AT CAPABILITY AND ALSO THEY CLAIMED 85% OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS BEHIND BARS WERE BECAUSE OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICINES WHICH'' S WHY AS I GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE POINT IT SO CONCERNING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY TAPPING OUT OUR JAILS ARE PUBLIC SAFETY THINGS THEY ARE AT CAPABILITY AS WELL AS WE ARE GOING TO INCLUDE MORE TO THEIR WORK.
YOU UNDERSTAND I CHUCKLE AT THE TRUTH WE HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OUR MEDICINE DOGS ALL OF THESE MATTERS ARE CRAZY THE FACT WE ARE GOING TO WANT TO CHANGE ALL THIS I HAVE A COUPLE EVEN MORE BELOW. WE TALKED AS WELL AS IT BECAME PART OF THE CHANGES THE TAGS THAT ARE GOING TO GET ON THESE PRODUCTS, DO WE THINK PEOPLE WILL THAT WILL MAKE A DISTINCTION WE SEE IT ALREADY IN OUR CURRENT SUBSTANCES THERE ARE EVEN MORE AFTER IF YOU INTENDED TO REFER TO IT AS THEIR PLEASURE OR THEIR ENJOYABLE WHATEVER THE NOT GOING TO BE CONCERNED REGARDING IT CLAIMS A PARTICULAR THING OR NOT. INSTITUTION PROGRAMS I HAVE JUMPED AHEAD ON PAGE 185 AS WELL AS IT CHATS REGARDING THE SCHOOLS BEGINNING IN 2026 AND ALSO 2027 THAT 2027 THAT THEY REQUIRED TO BEGIN THEY NECESSITY IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION AND LEARNING PROGRAM ON CANNABIS USE AND MATERIAL USAGE FOR STUDENTS IN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL AND ALSO SECONDARY SCHOOL. ONCE MORE IT'' S DEMONSTRATING HOW BAD THIS IS BUT THE BIG THING IS IT'' S A MANDATE TO THE INSTITUTIONS IS ONE ANOTHER POINT THAT'' S ON THEIR PLATE THEY ARE TRYING TO INFORM OUR TRAINEES AND ALSO NOW HOW BIG A BARGAIN DO YOU VISUALIZE IS THIS SOMETHING I HAVE PUT OUT SOME FLYERS AND TALK ABOUT IT ONE OR TWO TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR OR TWO THINK THIS IS EVEN MORE COMPONENT OF A CLASS THAT WILL TAKE MORE FOCUS TO DRIVE HOME WHAT THIS ITEM WILL PERFORM IN THE IMPACTED COULD HAVE ON YOUNG PEOPLE.
THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. UTKE AS GETS ON PAGE 185.2 IT SETS OUT THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION MUST CREATE A VERSION PROGRAM I AM NOT An EDUCATOR, I AM NOT AN SPURRED BECAUSE LOCATION AND ALSO WE DO HAVE EXPERTS AND ALSO THAT'' S WHY WE REFER TO THEM IN THIS EXPENSE 12 PUT 12 CREATE THAT PROGRAM. I SHOULDN'' T BE THE ONE TYPE OF ONE TYPE OF WRITING THAT PROGRAM BECAUSE I'' M NOT AN PROFESSIONAL IN EDUCATION AND LEARNING THAT ' S WHY WE EFER IN THE EXPENSE TO THE DIVISION TO ASSIST CREATE A MODEL PROGRAM THAT INSTITUTION DISTRICTS CAN USAGE. SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR NOW I AM BACK TO THE END OF WRITE-UP 6 WRITE-UP 6 THERE IS A REPEALER WITH CONCERNING 3 QUARTERS OF THREE QUARTERS OF THE PAGE OF STUFF THAT'' S REPEALED. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT WHAT'' S INCLUDED THEREIN WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THOSE WHAT ARE WE TAKING OUT OF LAW OR PROBABLY CHANGING STATUTE COULD YOU GIVE US A SHORT OVERVIEW OF WHAT'' S BEING RESCINDED.
MAYBE GUIDANCE COULD GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE REPEALERS. SEN. UTKE ARE YOU TALKING ON PAGE 213. WEB PAGE 213. I GET ON WEB PAGE 213 AS WELL AS WEB PAGE 214 WEB PAGE 214 I WAS SEARCHING FOR A HIGH DEGREE WE DON'' T REQUIRED UNLESS COUNCIL AS A QUICK AS WELL AS SIMPLE SOLUTION WE DON'' T REQUIRED TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW. MME. CHAIR AND SEN. UTKE I THINK THE REPEALER IS REPEALING ALL OF THE CLINICAL CANNABIS LANGUAGE AND IT WILL CERTAINLY BE RESTATED IN LAW. SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS THANKS FOR THAT IT WAS WHAT I WAS EXPECTING THAT ANSWERS THAT. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR.
I WAS TARGETING TO OBTAIN EVEN MORE DETAILS ON. ANY OTHER MEMBERS WITH INQUIRIES? ANY OTHER MEMBERS WITH COMMENTS ON THE EXPENSE AT THIS MOMENT? SEN. PORT SOME CLOSING IDEAS. I WISH TO GIVE THANKS TO THE BOARD FOR ITS TIME AND ALSO ENGAGING ON THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE I WISH TO SPECIFY FOR THE DOCUMENT THOSE PEOPLE WERE DEALING WITH THIS BILL DO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE FLIPPANTLY RELOCATING WITHOUT IDEA THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE TAKING VERY SERIOUSLY AND ALSO WE ARE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE DONE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO OUR AREA'' S THE RESTRICTION OF CANNABIS IS DONE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO OUR COMMUNITIES WE SEE CANISTER TO UNDO THE DAMAGE IS THIS WE BILL PERFECT NO, IT'' S 300 WEB PAGE 300 PAGES CURRENTLY IT'' S GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE CHANGES AS WE ACTION VIA THE PROCEDURES AND I ASSUME THAT BENEFITS THE COSTS I BELIEVE IT'' S GREAT WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS I ASSUME IT ' S GOOD WE REMAIN TO TALK AND ASK QUESTIONS AND ALSO GAIN FROM EACH OTHER BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS THE FINEST COSTS. I DO THINK WE HAVE THINGS IN THE BILL THAT ARE TAKING THE IDEAL PARTS OF WHAT HAS WORKED IN OTHER STATES TO ACCESS A FEW OF THE CONCERNS ESPECIALLY ON THE ILLICIT MARKET WE HAVE SEEN MAJOR DECREASES IN SOME STATES MONTANA 41 WENT FROM ABOUT AFTER THEY LEGALIZED 100% OF THE USAGE PRE-LEGALIZATION WAS THROUGH THE ILLICIT MARKET CURRENTLY OVER 80% IS WITH THE REGULATED MARKET THAT'' S An ENORMOUS DROP AS WELL AS PART OF THE REASON THAT FUNCTIONED IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'' T HAVE AREAS OF THE STATE THAT COULD CONTINUE PROHIBITIONS OF THE WEREN'' T BLOCKS OF COUNTIES N AREAS IN WHICH CANNABIS WAS STILL PROHIBITED WHICH ELIMINATED OUT MUCH OF THE IMMORAL MARKET.
WE ARE LOOKING TO TAKE LESSONS FROM THE STATES WE ARE PICKING UP FROM WHAT HAS OPERATED IN OTHER STATES TO SUPPRESS USE AMONG YOUNGSTER TO QUIT THE INITIAL FIRST USAGE WHICH IS PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION AND LEARNING MUCH OUT SHINING EVERYTHING ELSE OVER AND BEYOND AS WELL AS SO I DO APPRECIATE THE ENGAGEMENT AND I'' M PLEASED TO REMAIN TO WORK WITH PEOPLE AS THIS CONTINUES WITH THE PROCESS OF THINK IT'' S CONCERNING HALFWAY VIA THE COMMITTEE STOPS CURRENTLY THEREFORE WE STILL A LONG METHOD TO GO, AND MY DOOR IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO PROCEED THE CONVERSATIONS AND I THINK THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS INTERACTION. THANKS SEN.

CHAIR US SENATE FILE 1814 APPROPRIATES $500,000 IN ONE TIME FUNDING FOR THE DIVISION OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS TO DEVELOP A PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROJECT ON ALZHEIMER'' S DISEASE AND ALSO OTHER TYPES OF DEMENTIA.
CURRENTLY ALZHEIMER'' S IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DEVELOP OF DEMENTIA AND ALSO REPRESENT 60 – 80% OF DEMENTIA CASES DEMENTIA WILL CERTAINLY INTENSIFY WITH TIME AS WELL AS THERE IS CURRENTLY NO TREATMENT. HOWEVER WE CONTAINER SLOW ITS PROGRESSION AND BOOST PATIENT'' S LIFESTYLE IF IT IS DIAGNOSED EARLY. VITAL PART OF THE BILL IS THE DIVISION HEALTH AND WELLNESS MUST DEVELOP CULTURALLY RELEVANT MESSAGING CUSTOMIZED TO UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOOD'' S TAKING ON RURAL POPULACE LOCAL AS WELL AS IN JESUS COMMITTEES AS WELL AS COMMUNITIES OF SHADE REASON FOR THAT IS FOR INSTANCE BLACK INDIVIDUALS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO HAVE MENTAL DETERIORATION LATINOS ARE ONE AND HALF TIMES AS LIKELY THESE RACIAL DIFFERENCES ARE DRIVEN BY SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND NOT BY GENETIC FACTORS. DEALING WITH THESE RACIAL DIFFERENCES THE NEED FOR CULTURALLY RELEVANT MESSAGING ON AGING IS EVEN MORE CRUCIAL THAN EVER.
EARLY DISCOVERY IS SHOWN IMPROVE LIFESTYLE BY EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'' S OR VARIOUS OTHER MEASUREMENT TO GATHER WITH LOVED ONES AND ALSO MEANINGFULLY TAKE PART IN THERAPY PREPARATION OFFERS INDIVIDUALS TIME TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTIONS TO OUTFIT A PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE AS WELL AS IT SAVES THE STATE CASH AND ALSO EARLY DIAGNOSIS DELAYS RETIREMENT HOME PLACEMENTS THAT MME.

THE SERVICE HISTORICALLY CONCENTRATES ON SUSTAINING AFRICAN-AMERICAN AS WELL AS EAST AFRICAN AREA MEMBERS THROUGH EDUCATION AND LEARNING PERTAINING TO MENTAL DETERIORATION OFFERING MEMORY SCREENS AND SUPPORTING CARETAKERS. THE TENSIONS AS WELL AS HEALTH AND WELLNESS INFLUENCES AS WELL AS COSTS LINKED WITH LONG TRIP OF TAKING CARE OF SOMEBODY IMPACTED BY DIMENSION OFTEN CREATES 2 OR 2 OR EVEN MORE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE DETERMINED IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE. OUR WORK SUSTAINING CARETAKERS DISCLOSES THE RELEVANCE OF THE EFFECT OF OFFERING RESPITE TO CAREGIVERS AS WAS POINTED OUT MENTAL DETERIORATION ILLNESS OF THE MIND IS FATAL THIS VICIOUS DISEASE CAN AFFECT MEMORY EXECUTIVE OPERATING DAY-TO-DAY LIVING AS WELL AS DECISION-MAKING. THOSE INFLUENCED BY THE ILLNESS WILL CERTAINLY AT SOME POINT NEGLECT THEIR ENJOYED ONES NAMES FORGET WHO THEY ARE AND FORGET TO EAT. THEY WILL NEED A CARETAKER THIS CAREGIVER JOURNEY CAN BE DIFFICULT AND SELF-CARE IS VITAL. WITHOUT PROPER SELF-CARE STATISTICS SHOW CARETAKER WILL CERTAINLY EXPIRE BEFORE THE TREATMENT RECEIVER BECAUSE OF THE REQUIRING TASKS AS WELL AS STRESS AND ANXIETIES THAT GO ALONG WITH BEING A CAREGIVER.

EIGHT YEARS AGO I BEGAN JOINING THE SENSIBLE SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAM WHERE LEARNT MORE ABOUT ALZHEIMER'' S AND PARTICIPATED IN AN ORIGINAL PLAY IN SPANISH TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE 10 CAUTION 10 INDICATION.
REGRETFULLY A FEW YEARS LATER I BEGAN TO NOTIFICATION THE SIGNS WITH MY HUBBY WHEN I TOLD HIS MEDICAL CARE PHYSICIAN SHE DISREGARDED MY CONCERNS IS REGULAR AMNESIA BROUGHT ON BY AGING. DUE TO WHAT I HAD LEARNED I RECOGNIZED WHAT MY PARTNER WAS EXPENSING WAS NOT NORMAL IT TOOK GREATER THAN THREE YEARS OF THREE YEARS OF LISTENING GOING FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TO PHYSICIAN AND ALSO FINALLY A FEW MONTHS AGO MY SPOUSE OBTAINED An OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMER'' S ILLNESS. THE EDUCATION AS WELL AS RESOURCES ARE RESERVED AT THE PROGRAM OFFERED ME THE CONFIDENCE AND ALSO THE TOOLS I REQUIRED TO PROCEED DEALING WITH UP UNTIL I RECEIVE THE DIAGNOSIS ALSO AS PHYSICIAN QUESTIONED AND ALSO MINIMIZED MY CONCERNS.
THE MAJORITY OF LATINAS IN MINNESOTA HAVE NOT HAD THE POSSIBILITIES THAT I HAVE HAD WHICH IS WHY NUMEROUS ARE CARING FOR MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WITH ALZHEIMER'' S WITHOUT An OFFICIAL MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. MISSING OUT ON OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES TO SLOW THE PROGRESSION AS WELL AS IMPROVE TOP QUALITY OF LIFE. MORE ALZHEIMER'' S EDUCATION AND ALSO RECOGNITION CAMPAIGNS THAT ARE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND ALSO IN SPANISH ARE NEEDED TO INCREASE RATES OF EARLY DISCOVERY AND ALSO DIAGNOSIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STATEMENT SAYS THANKS TO FOR COMING TODAY. HAVING NOTHING ELSE TESTIFIERS MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS ON THE COSTS SEN. UTKE. THANKS MME. CHAIR I WILL HAVE ONE INQUIRY AT THE END BUT EVEN MORE OF A COMMENT TO START WITH. FOR MR. SMITH I'' M GLAD TO SEE THE LANGUAGE OF THE COSTS SINCE WE HAD DISCUSSIONS AROUND IT LAST YEAR WHERE IT SAYS IS DIRECTED AT THE BASIC POPULACE BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE'' S NOBODY WHO IS EXEMPT FROM SUFFERING FROM THIS DREADFUL CONDITION BUT AS WE JUST LISTENED TO OBTAINING IT INCREASED INTO LANGUAGES IN AREAS SO WE DO COVER THE GENERAL POPULACE SO THAT IS GOOD.
I SUCH AS THAT AS WELL AS JUST AT THE END WE SPEAK ABOUT IT'' S A HALF MILLION DOLLARS APPROPRIATION BUT THE AMOUNT THAT CANISTER BE USED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE REPORT IS STILL BLANK DOES ANY INDIVIDUAL HAVE AN SUGGESTION OF WHAT NUMBER WILL ENTER THERE I AM HOPING IT'' S A SMALL AS POSSIBLE SO THE HUGE BULK GOES IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS TASK. MR. SMITH IF YOU HAVE AN ANSWER OR I WOULD FOR THE RECORD WE HAVE REQUESTED A FISCAL NOTE IF THE DIVISION WOULD BE THE ONE I THINK TO CREATE. MME. CHAIR AND SEN. UTKE THANK YOU THAT BLANK APPROPRIATION SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THE REPORTING DEMANDS AROUND THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING CAMPAIGN I ASSUME MOST OF US AGREE WE HOPE MAJORITY OF THE RESOURCES GOES INTO THE PUBLIC AWARENESS PROJECT AND ESPECIALLY ENGAGING THE NEIGHBORHOOD'' S THE MAJORITY OF IMPACTED BY ALZHEIMER'' S CONDITION SO THEY CONTAINER HELP TO ESTABLISH THE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MESSAGING IF YOU'' RE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION AND FACTS WE WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO DELAY FOR THE MONETARY KEEP IN MIND.
SEN. UTKE. MME. CHAIR THANKS MY CONCERN TO YOU IS THIS EXPENSE DOES IT STAY IN OUR BOARD AT THIS MOMENT WE LAID OVER UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS O.K.

NEXT ON THE PROGRAM IS US SENATE FILE 988 SEN. 988 SEN. BOLDON. THANKS SEN. BOLDON PLEASE WAGE YOUR DISCUSSION. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AND ALSO MEMBERS THIS IS A REALLY BASIC BILL. IT WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY THE BOARD OF DENTISTRY IT DOES 2 POINTS, IT MODIFIES THE LANGUAGE IN LAW IN TWO TWO PLACES WHERE IT CLAIMS HELPING AS WELL AS SHOULD CLAIM ASSISTANT SIMPLY A TECHNOLOGICAL MODIFICATION.
IT INCLUDES A LINE EACH LICENSEE NECESSITIES SUBMIT TO NONREFUNDABLE FIVE DOLLARS FEE $5 FEE TO DEMAND A MAILING ADDRESS LISTING. THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT WAS INADVERTENTLY INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT IN THE DRAFTING PROCEDURE FOR THE BOARD OF DENTAL CARE LARGER POLICY COSTS LAST YEAR SO IT'' S CORRECTING THAT NONINCLUSION AND ALSO IT PUTS IT ACCORDING TO WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER BOARDS WHICH LICENSEES CAN DEMAND A LISTING FROM THE BOARD CURRENTLY REQUESTERS NECESSITY ACQUISITION LICENSEE MAILING LIST FROM THE MINNESOTA BOOKSTORE BUT THE BOARD OF DENTAL CARE HAS THE CAPACITY TO OFFER THIS INFORMATION AND ALSO THEY ARE REQUESTING A $5 COST TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH IS A CLAIMED IS IN LINE WITH WHAT OTHER BOARDS DO SO IT'' S A STRAIGHTFORWARD CHANGE BROUGHT IN BECAUSE IT WAS OMITTED FROM THE COSTS IN 2015. MEMBERS ANY, QUESTIONS ON THE COSTS? SEN. ABELER. THANKS MME. CHAIR AND FIVE $5 CHARGE IS A TREND WE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT IT PRICE THAT MUCH TO GATHER IT HAS THE DEPARTMENT OF WELLNESS SEEKS THEIR COVERAGE I THINK THERE'' S A LESSON TO BE TAKEN THROUGHOUT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF YOU CANISTER DO SOMETHING FOR 5 DOLLARS AT $5 AT THE BOARD DEGREE AND MAYBE A FEW OF THE FIRMS CAN MAKE THE BOARDS LEAN AS WELL AS PRUDENT AND MORE MONEY CANISTER GO INTO ASSISTING PEOPLE THERE HAPPY WHEN WE SUGGEST THAT.
THANK YOU SEN. ABELER ND I WILL PHONE CALL YOUR INTEREST THERE IS A FINANCIAL NOTE WE RECEIVED AND THERE IS NO STATE COST. THIS EXPENSE WILL CERTAINLY PASS THIS EXPENSE AND GO TO THE FLOOR FOR ACTIVITY ON THE FLOOR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR REMARKS? SEEING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SEN. BOLDON YOU CAN MAKE THE ACTIVITY. THANKS MME. CHAIR I WOULD MOVE THAT THE EXPENSE BE PASSED AND BE REFERRED TO THE FLOORING. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED, THE MOTION DOES PREVAIL SENATE FILE 988 988 DOES PASS AS WELL AS WILL BE IT DOES PASS. THANKS SEN. NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE IS SENATE FILE 1,129 SEN. HOFFMAN'' S EXPENSE. WELCOME SEN. HOFFMAN TO THE DISCUSSION. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR I INCREASED THE CHAIR. PARTICIPANTS THERE IS AN A1 CHANGE IT IS CONNECTED I WISH TO MOVE THE MODIFICATION FIRST. SEN. HOFFMAN MOVES THE A1 AMENDMENT ALL THOSE IN SUPPORT SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED THE MODIFICATION IS EMBRACED.
THANK YOU MME. CHAIR NOW THE BILL IS IN THE KIND I INTENDED TO BE IN. I INTEND TO WELCOME SARAH GOODNO TO THE TABLE TOO THIS DEALS WITH A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM CLIENT ADVOCATES AS WELL AS MEDICAL FACILITY COMPANIES HAVE BEEN OPERATING INTO WHICH IS PATIENTS WITH G TUBES HAVE BEEN RUNNING INTO PRIOR PERMISSION CONCERNS. PRIOR AUTHORIZATION ON EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY BEYOND LIVE EXPENDITURE MYSELF BUT THIS ALSO ROLLS RIGHT INTO THE PREFERRED MEDICATION LISTING WITH YOUNGSTERS WITH FEEDING TUBES ARE INCAPABLE TO ACCESS THE FLUID VERSIONS OF NEEDED DRUGS. THIS SET ONE IS A HUGE CONCERN THAT'' S WHY I ' M HERE BEFORE YOU TO PERFORM THAT. THE MEDICINE FORMULARY COMMITTEE DFC IF YOU WANT TO OBTAIN ANOTHER ACRONYM IN YOUR GLOBE IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANAGING MINNESOTA'' S PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS TREATMENT PROGRAMS PREFERRED DRUG CHECKLIST AND ALSO REVIEWS WHETHER DRUGS COVERED BY PUBLIC PROGRAMS SHOULD UNDERGO PRIOR PERMISSION WHAT THE PRIOR PERMISSION CRITERIA NEED TO BE.
ALL WE ARE CLAIMING IN THIS SENATE FILE 1129 IS WE 1,129 IS WE WOULD MODIFY THE COMPOSITION OF THE MEDICATION FORMULARY BOARDS AND UPDATE THE PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CHANGES TO THE RECOMMENDED MEDICINE LISTING TO INCREASE THE DIVERSITY A PROVIDER PROFICIENCY AND ALSO SEN.THE PERSON EXPENDITURES AND INCLUDE THE TRANSPARENCY WHILE DOING SO. THERE IS THE ENHANCEMENT OF THREE CUSTOMER 3 CONSUMER AGENTS TO THAT WHICH THE COMMITTEE INCLUDING RARE CONDITION IMPAIRMENT PEDIATRICS. WHAT I WOULD ASK IS SARAH GOODNO WHO IS THE CAMPAIGNING FOR AND ALSO PUBLIC LAW SUPERVISOR FOR THE EPILEPSY STRUCTURE OF MINNESOTA CAN SPEAK EVEN MORE ON BEHALF OF THE COSTS THANK YOU MME.
CHAIR AND ALSO MEMBERS. WELCOME TO THE BOARD MISS GOODNO PLEASE PRESENT YOURSELF AND ALSO AGAIN YOUR TESTAMENT. CHAIR WIKLUND AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF BOARD I'' M SARAH GOODNO ON THE CAMPAIGNING FOR AS WELL AS PUBLIC POLICY SUPERVISOR AT THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA. I'' M HERE RIGHT NOW TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF SENATE FILE 1129 1,129 WITH MODIFY THE MEDICINE FORMULARY BOARD COMPOSITION AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PROCEDURE UPDATING THE PREFERRED DRUG LIST. THE MEDICINE FORMULARY BOARDS AND ALSO THE FAVORED DRUG LIST HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE ON HOW INDIVIDUALS WHO USE MEDICAL AID ARE ABLE TO ACCESS MEDICATIONS IN MINNESOTA.
THE EPILEPSY STRUCTURE SUPPORTS ADDING ADDITIONAL CONSUMER AGENTS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WITH KNOWLEDGE IN RARE CONDITION DISABILITY AND PEDIATRIC MEDICINE BECAUSE THAT DIVERSITY OF IDEA TECHNIQUE AND INFO WILL CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE THE BOARD TO LOOK PAST TO THE CLEARLY MEDICAL INFORMATION AND ALSO RIGHT INTO THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS. SUCH AS A YOUNGSTER WITH A RARE EPILEPSY DIAGNOSIS WAS MOMS AND DADS REQUIRED TO PUT TABLETS RIGHT INTO THE FOOD DAILY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PREFERRED MEDICINE LISTING AND PRIOR PERMISSION CRITERIA WOULDN'' T COVER THE LIQUID VERSIONS OF THE MEDICINE THIS IS ONE ONE EXAMPLE WE HAVE LISTENED TO SIMILAR STORIES WERE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE FLUID VARIATION OF A MEDICINE IS CONSISTENTLY REFUTED FOR CHILDREN MAKING USE OF FEEDING TUBES WHICH COULD RESULT IN CRUSHING PILLS CLOGGING THEIR G-TUBES IN THIS INSTANCE THE TECHNIQUE OF APPLICATION IS NOT A MATTER OF BENEFIT BUT COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE-AND-DEATH THIS MIGHT SOUND MEDIC HOWEVER, FOR EPILEPSY AND ALSO A NUMBER OF OTHER CHRONIC ISSUE INGLE MISS DOES COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT REPERCUSSIONS VARIED CLINICAL AND ALSO PERSON EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS KNOWLEDGE AS BALLOT PARTICIPANTS OF THE MEDICATION FORMULARY BOARD IS BASICS TO ENSURING THAT THE IDEAL DECISIONS ARE MADE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE STRAIGHT IMPACTED BY THE CHOICES.
I ENCOURAGE YOUR ASSISTANCE FOR US SENATE DATA 1,129 AS WELL AS I ENJOY TO REPRESENT INQUIRIES. THANK YOU I BELIEVE THAT'' S YOUR ONLY TESTIFIER PARTICIPANTS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SEN. MORRISON. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR. NO DOUBT I INTENDED TO SAY THANKS TO SEN. HOFFMAN FOR BRINGING THIS BILL ONWARD PRIOR PERMISSION IS A PROBLEM FOR PATIENTS AND ALSO SUPPLIERS CAUSES INJURY HOLD-UPS CARE AND BOOSTS EXHAUSTION. THIS IS LOW HANGING FRUIT SO MANY THANKS SIGNIFICANTLY FOR ADVOCATING FOR CLIENTS THIS WAY. SEN. HOFFMAN CLOSING COMMENTS. THEY COULD DR. MORRISON AND ALSO MME. CHAIR IT IS LOW HANGING FRUIT YOU WONDER WHITE WE ESTABLISH ALL THESE BARRICADES TO ACQUIRING TO INEFFECTIVE CLIENT CENTERED EXPERIENCE IN THIS ONE ONE IS JUST ONE OF A SMALL LITTLE MOTIONS TOWARDS THAT I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING THE EXPENSE AND PASSING IT. SEN. ABELER. JUST A PILOT SEN. MORRISON DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF COMMENTING ABOUT IT TO MIRROR SEVERAL OF THESE PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS EXPENSE MONEY MORE CASH THAN THEY ARE ORTH. THEY ONLY SAVE CASH BY DENYING TREATMENT THAT'' S NECESSARY OR POSTPONING IT IN SEVERAL OF THE HARM THAT OCCURS WITH A FEW OF THESE POLICIES IS REALLY BAD I DON'' T UNDERSTAND WHETHER PREPARES CONTINUE DOING THIS THAT WE HAVE TO PASS A LAW TO SAY COULD YOU USE YOUR HEAD AND CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS OF WHAT WE PAY FOR OUR HEALTHCARE AS WELL AS TO DENY SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT EVEN ARE ALMOST 100% APPROVED BY THE TIME YOU NAVIGATE TO IT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER AS WELL AS INCLUDE IN IT MINISTRY OF EXPENSES.
MANY THANKS FOR THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION AND ALSO THANKS SEN. HOFFMAN. TO THAT POINT MME. CHAIR BOTH MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DIRECTS ABSOLUTELY MY LIVED EXPERIENCE I NEEDED TO APOLOGIZE I FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO APOLOGIZE TO MY CHILD'' S OWN MEDICAL CARE DOCTOR BECAUSE SHE WAS COSTS EVEN MORE TIME ROUTING PAPERWORK THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK THAT SHE WAS PAID TO ACCOMPLISH AND ALSO DO WELL AND AFTERWARDS TO ALLURE AND TO BATTLE KNOW WHAT LET'' S MAKE IT RIGHTU AND DO IT RIGHT FIRST I VALUE THE COMMENTS AND ALSO VALUE PASSING THIS COSTS. THANKS SEN. HOFFMAN AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS AHEAD IN THE BILL NEEDS TO HEAD TO THE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS STATE AND ALSO NEIGHBORHOOD GOVERNMENT AND EXPERTS. IF YOU COULD MAKE THAT MOVEMENT TO RECOMMEND THE EXPENSE IS PASSED AS AMENDED AND AFTER THAT BE REFERRED TO THE BOARD ON STATE AND LOCAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND EXPERTS. MAY I ASK MME. CHAIR A CONCERN, I WILL REQUIRED SOME GUIDANCE ON WHY IS IT GOING TO MENTION AND REGIONAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. STATE AND ALSO NEIGHBORHOOD GOVERNMENT HAS ACTUALLY REQUESTED THE COSTS THE CHAIR.
SEN. ABELER. MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS SEN. HOFFMAN MAYBE IT IMPACTS SEGIP THEY RUN THAT INSURANCE. MME. CHAIR TO THAT FACTOR I COMPREHEND POINTS OBTAINING REFERRED BUT WHAT WOULD BE THE VARIOUS OTHER OPTION FOR THIS BILL IF IT WAS NOT DESCRIBED THAT BOARD. IT COULD BE LAID OVER I BELIEVE THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE A FISCAL EFFECT SO WE WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO ASK COUNSEL. ADVICE THINKS THE EXPENSE DESCRIBES THE FORMULARY COMMITTEE WHICH THE STATE AND CITY GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE TERRITORY OVER BOARDS LIKE THAT.
THANKS MME. CHAIR FOR CLARIFYING THAT. AND CHANGING EXPIRATION DATES. THANK YOU I VALUE YOU DOING THAT IT'' S ONE OF THOSE AMONG THOSE MOMENTS YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY IT'' S GOING SOMEPLACE. THAT IS FLAWLESSLY FINE TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THAT CANISTER YOU MAKE THE MOVEMENT. I MAKE THE ACTIVITY THAT IS AMENDED WE REFER THE COSTS TO THE STATE AND ALSO NEIGHBORHOOD GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS VETERANS BOARD. MEMBERS ALL THOSE IN SUPPORT SIGNIFY BY PHRASE AYE, ANY OPPOSED, THE ACTIVITY DOES PREVAIL SENATE SUBMIT 1129 AS 1,129 AS AMENDED IS PASSED AS WELL AS IS REFERRED TO THE BOARDS AND ALSO STATE AS WELL AS NEIGHBORHOOD GOVERNMENT AND VETERANS. THANKS, THE NEXT EXPENSE ON THE PROGRAM IS US SENATE SUBMIT 441 WHICH IS SEN. MORRISON'' S COSTS. SEN. MORRISON OU HAVE US SENATE SUBMIT 441.441.
THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS MEMBERS I VALUE THE POSSIBILITY TO PRESENT US SENATE DATA 441 THIS BILL WOULD DIRECT THE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH TO RESEARCH STUDY AND ALSO LAMENT A STATEWIDE DIGITAL DATABASE FOR CARRIER ORDERS FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING THERAPY OR PULSED KINDS IT'' S A VALUABLE DEVICE FOR MEDICAL PROVIDERS TO RUNDOWN PATIENT TREATMENT PREFERENCES IS AND ALSO WHETHER THE TRANSFER NOT TO TRANSFER OR RESUSCITATE OR DO NOT RESUSCITATE ETC. PULSED KINDS ARE EXCEPT ALL CLIENTS THERE GEARED FOR SIGNIFICANTLY SICK PATIENTS RECEIVING END-OF-LIFE THERAPY. THEY ARE MEDICAL ORDERS NOT AN ADVANCE DIRECTIVE AND ESPECIALLY OUTLINE THE THERAPY OF PATIENT WANTS OR DOES NOT NEED. CURRENTLY WHEN A PROVIDER AUTHORIZES A PULSE FORM THE PATIENT IS GIVEN A PAPER DUPLICATE IF THE PERSON MISPLACES THE KIND IT OBTAINS HARMED OR THEY DON'' T HAVE IT WITH THEM IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IS LIKELY THERE END-OF-LIFE PREFERENCES WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE FOLLOWED.
WITH TODAY'' S INNOVATION CLIENTS OUGHT TO OTHER PULSE TYPE ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT HAVING PHYSICAL DUPLICATE PRESENT. PULSED TYPES ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WHEN EMERGENCY SITUATION CARE PROVIDERS ARRIVE ON THE SCENE THEY MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THE PATIENT'' S PULSE TYPE UNLESS THE TYPE IS CONVENIENTLY OFFERED THIS CANISTER CAUSE RESPONSIBILITY PROBLEMS FOR EMERGENCY PROVIDERS LOTS OF EMS RESPONDERS AS WELL AS INVESTOR STORIES WERE FAMILY MEMBERS MEMBERS ARE HOWLING AT THEM NOT TO RESUSCITATE OR TRANSFER SINCE THEY HAVE THAT DETAILED IN THEIR PULSE FORM BUT THEY DON'' T HAVE THE PHYSICAL KIND. THIS IS HAPPENED IN MY FAMILY MEMBERS IT'' S PRETTY TERRIBLE. THIS BILL CREATES AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF STAKEHOLDERS WILL CERTAINLY EXPLORE THE REFERRALS HOW TO BEST IMPLEMENT THE PC REGISTRY SUCH AS HOW TO UPDATE IT WHEN MODIFICATIONS ARE MADE TO An INDIVIDUAL'' S ARTICLE WAS CHARGED WITH PROTECTING THE TYPES ETC. STANDARD POSTWAR WAS DEVELOPED IN 2008 2008 AND ALSO FINALIZED IN 2010 IT'' S 2010 IT ' S EXTENSIVELY MADE USE OF AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY MEDICAL FACILITY SOLUTION LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AS WELL AS EMS THROUGHOUT MINNESOTA TODAY. KEEPING THAT MME. CHAIR I DO HAVE A TESTIFIER DR. NICHOLSON I BELIEVE IS BELOW. THANKS AS WELL AS WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE. DR. NICHOLSON PLEA STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND ALSO BEGIN YOUR TESTIMONY. GOING FROM PEDIATRIC FEEDING TUBES TO END-OF-LIFE TREATMENT MANY THANKS FOR DANGLING IN THERE.
I'' M WILL CERTAINLY NICHOLSON CHAIR OF THE MINNESOTA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION HOUSEHOLD MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AS WELL AS I EXERCISE AS A HOSPITALIST IN EAST METRO. HEAD OF STATE OF THE MINNESOTA MEDICAL ORGANIZATION I'' M RIGHT HERE TO SUPPORT US SENATE DATA 441 THIS 441 THIS BILL IS NEEDED TO GUARANTEE MY INDIVIDUALS HEALTHCARE CHOICES AT THE END-OF-LIFE ARE KNOWN AND FOLLOWED BLOG POST IS SOMETHING THAT ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS MEANS SERVICE PROVIDER ORDERS FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENT THAT'' S PROVIDER ORDERS FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING THERAPY THESE ARE ORDERS THEY'' RE NOT PURPOSE OR SENSATIONS THERE ORDERS THAT A PROVIDER CIVIL LIBERTIES FOR THEIR PERSON WITH THEIR CLIENT AND ALSO THEIR CRITICAL TOOL THAT PHYSICIANS AND CLIENTS UTILIZE TO RECORD PERSON CHOICE FOR THERAPIES AND SOME OF THE MANY IMPORTANT STAGES OF LIFE CHANGE. AT THE END-OF-LIFE WE KNOW THAT WE OVER REWARD PATIENTS THAT WE DO MATTERS THAT THEY DON'' T WANT SINCE IT IS TYPE OF THE STANDARD THAT WE FOLLOW AND THIS PROVIDES CLIENTS A POSSIBILITY TO DESCRIBE WHAT THEY NEED AT THE END-OF-LIFE INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE CONVENTIONAL PROCEDURE.
THEY BEEN COMMONLY UTILIZED IN MINNESOTA TO GOOD EFFECT LONG-LASTING TREATMENT FACILITIES MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS EMS AND ALSO HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS AND ALSO THEY GENERALLY PERMIT United States TO BE ON THE VERY SAME WEB PAGE THE PROBLEM IS YEARS EARLIER WE WERE MANDATED TO BUY THESE FANCY MEDICAL RECORDS WE'' RE NOT MANDATED TO HAVE THEM SPEAK TO EACH OTHER AS WELL AS THE CLIENTS OBTAIN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE SO CURRENTLY A LOT OF PULSED FORMS EXIST AS PAPER KINDS THAT A PATIENT PHYSICALLY CARRIES AND ALSO AS A SEN. OUTLINED THERE ARE NUMBER OF SCENARIOS WHERE THOSE COPIES OF THOSE FORMS GET MISLAID OR DAMAGED OR ARE INACCESSIBLE AND WHEN AND EMS PROVIDER OR EMERGENCY SITUATION DIVISION DOESN'' T HAVE ACCESS TO PULSED PUTS THEM IN A VERY HARD CIRCUMSTANCE POTENTIALLY PROVIDING INADVERTENTLY OFFERING CARE THAT A CLIENT DOESN'' T WANT IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE LOCATION OF THE PATIENT OR THEIR MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, YOU TIN THINK OF TAKING A SEAT AND HAVING THE HARD DISCUSSION CONCERNING END-OF-LIFE DOCUMENTING THIS WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND AFTER THAT CURRENTLY YOU'' RE SICK AND SEEKING AID YOU DON'' T OBTAIN WHAT YOU REQUIRED. PATIENTS GET UP IN HOSPITAL BEDS AFTER DOCUMENTING THAT THEY NEVER INTENDED TO LEAVE THEIR HOUSE FAMILIES OF PATIENTS THAT WEAR'' T AWAKEN HAVE TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS ABOUT ENDING CARE THAT THE PERSON NEVER DESIRED IN THE FIRST AREA AS WELL AS DOCTOR HAVE TO RECKON WITH THE REALITY THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED PERSON TREATMENT THAT NOBODY WANTED ONE WANTED AFTER SWEARING THE FIRST DO NO INJURY IN REALIZING THAT WERE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE SIMPLY HAVE A SYSTEM THAT DEPENDS UPON PAPER. I ASSUME THE TRAGIC AS WELL AS PREVENT CAPABILITY OF THIS IS DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THERE. WE HAVE MUCH BETTER INTERACTION EQUIPMENT NOW WE DEMAND TO USE THEM AND SENATE SUBMIT 441 GUIDES THE 441 DIRECTS THE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH TO TYPE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR DOCTOR INDIVIDUALS ETHICISTS AND ALSO LAWYERS EMS AND RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY LEADERS TO STUDY AND ALSO RECOMMEND HOW TO IMPLEMENT A STATEWIDE ONLINE PC REGISTRY FOR PULSED WE BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM THIS ON OTHER MEDICAL TOPICS IMMUNIZATIONS AS WELL AS ON OPIOIDS THAT A BEEN INCREDIBLE HELPFUL THIS CONTAINER BE SOMETHING COULD BE ACCESSED BY DOCTOR ANYTIME FROM THROUGHOUT AS A PHYSICIAN I INTEND TO GUARANTEE THAT EVERY PATIENT'' S DESIRES ARE KNOWN AND ALSO FOLLOWED STATEWIDE COMPUTER SYSTEM REGISTRY FOR PULSED WILL CERTAINLY HELP MAKE SURE FOR OUR PEOPLE AND ALSO AID United States QUIT DELIVERING UNNEEDED CARE.

I HAVE An INQUIRY CONCERNING THE PROCEDURES OF INDIVIDUALS WRITING UP THERE PULSED AS WELL AS HOW YOU SAY THAT CORRECTLY SO THESE ARE A DOCTOR TAKING A SEAT WHATEVER CARE GROUP SITTING DOWN WITH THE HOUSEHOLD AND ALSO THEY EXCHANGE THE WRITE-DOWN EVERYBODY IS ENGAGED AND ALSO KNOWN AS WHINED ABOUT THIS BUT THE PROCEDURE LOOKS LIKE IT'' S EVOLVED WHERE INDIVIDUALS '' S AND SOLID AGREEMENT CONCERNING WHAT IS WRITTEN DOWN AND THE PHYSICIAN WOULD OFFER ADVICE IN THE FAMILY COULD SAY YES OR NO OR THE INDIVIDUAL WAS THE TARGET WOULD ACCEPT THE NEED TO SIGN IT THEMSELVES CANISTER YOU COMMENT ABOUT THAT PROCEDURE. IT'' S An EXCELLENT CONCERN OUR CRITERION FOR DECISION-MAKING EVALUATES HEAVILY ON FREEDOM AND ALSO ENLIGHTENED AUTHORIZATION. THE VAST BULK OF THE SITUATIONS OUR PATIENTS THAT A BEEN DEALING WITH END-OF-LIFE CHALLENGES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME MANY OF THE TIME THEY BRODY HAD THE PROCESS PLACING TOGETHER AN ADVANCED INSTRUCTION AND ESTABLISHING CODE STANDINGS AND ALSO THIS IS AN INCLUDED LAYER OF SPECIFICITY AS WELL AS INSURANCE COVERAGE THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN WILL CERTAINLY OCCUR THAT THERE GENERALLY DONE EN MASSE CHOICE IN MY EXPERIENCE IT'' S TYPICALLY NOT JUST'A CLIENT IT ' S A CLIENT AND ALSO THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ALONG WITH THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. WE ARE DIFFICULT DECISIONS OUR GOAL IS NOT TO GUIDANCE IS HIGH AS IT IS TO EQUIP AND ASSIST INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH OF THE DECISIONS THAT END-OF-LIFE INDICATES MANY OF US HAVE NEVER DIED BEFORE SO I KNOW IT APPEARS EVIDENT BUT WE PLACE'' T PUT A GREAT DEAL OF IDEA INTO IT SO A GREAT DEAL OF WHAT PROVIDERS DO IS SPEAK ABOUT THE DANGERS HE PERKS AND THE ALTERNATIVES AND ALSO HELP PATIENTS RECOGNIZE WHAT THE FINEST POINT FOR THEM AND ALSO THEIR GOALS MAY BE. THANK YOU I'' VE NEVER HAD ANYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT IT'' S WONDERFUL TO HEAR HOW COLLABORATIVE IT IS MANY THANKS.
I OUGHT TO ADD INDIVIDUALS CANISTER ADJUSTMENT THESE AT ANY TIME SIMPLY LIKE ANYTHING IN HEALTH CARE THE PERSON CONTAINER CHANGE THEIR MIND OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO BEAT THE NEEDS OF THE CLIENT NOT HOLD THEM TO SOME CRITERION WE ESTABLISHED A DAY AS WELL AS A HALF AGO. SEN. UTKE. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS I WAS THROUGHOUT THE TESTAMENT I BELIEVE YOU DISCUSSED IT AT THE END DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES TO BE PRODUCED FROM SCRATCH NEW I BELIEVE YOU SAID THERE'' S TYPE OF A SYSTEM OUT THERE FOR MEDICATIONS AS WELL AS OPIOIDS CURRENTLY IN WHICH THIS COULD BE SORT OF ATTACHED EXISTS A SYSTEM THAT DOES SPREAD SOME INFO SINCE THIS COULD BE AFFIXED TO OR DO WE HAVE TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW NETWORK TO ACCOMPLISH IT WE'' RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH RIGHT HERE. DR. NICHOLSON OR SEN. MORRISON. THANKS SEN.

I BELIEVE MANY PSYCHOLOGISTS WOULD TELL YOU OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS SPECIALISTS WOULD TELL YOU IDEALLY THE HOUSEHOLDS INCLUDED FROM THE OUTSET WHICH'' S USUALLY THE CASE BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS WHERE THERE'' S EITHER A FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCE OR A FEW OF THE INSTANCES I STATED IN MY OPENING FEEDBACK EITHER LANGUAGE OBSTACLE OR ABSENCE OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS SUSTAINS OTHER THINGS TIN BE BARRIERS FOR YOUNGSTERS OBTAINING THE AID THEY NEED AS WELL AS THE TRUTH THEY CAN AUTHORIZATION TO INPATIENT MENTAL WELLNESS TREATMENT BUT NOT OUTPATIENT SEEMS INCONGRUOUS SO THIS GENERATES CONGRUITY AS WELL AS EXPENDITURE GAIN ACCESS TO TO OUR KIDS ARE IN DIRE STRAITS WE DEMAND TO BE CREATIVE NOW AND DOING EVERYTHING WE CONTAINER TO GET THEM THE ASSISTANCE THEY NEED.
SEN. ABELER. I VALUE THAT I WEAR'' T THINK I ' M AN OPPONENT I ' M SIMPLY SORT OF AGNOSTIC AT THIS MOMENT. SIMPLY TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT LIKES THIS REGULATIONS THE PARENTS ARE GOING TO DISCOVER A BECAUSE THE GOING TO OBTAIN A BILL IN THE MAIL FROM WHEREVER THEY WENT AND ALSO THEY MAY MOST LIKELY TO AREA THAT'' S NOT EVEN RIGHT LOCATION IN THEIR STRATEGY IN THE IMPORTANT THINGS OF EVERYTHING SO THIS IN FACT THERE'' S A SIDE WHERE IT COULD REASON SOME PROBLEM LIKE WHY DIDN'' T YOU GO TO THE PERSON WE HAVE THIS WHOLE NETWORK IT'' S AN AMAZING ONE AND THEY ' RE NOT COVERED SO JUST A POINT THAT OUT THOSE ARE LOGISTICAL POINTS I PUT ON'' T KNOW HOW YOU DEAL WITH BUT I ASSUME YOU'' RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK THAT'' S ALL I HAVE THANKS.

SEN. MORRISON. MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS SEN. UTKE, I THINK MR.

I VALUE YOUR BRINGING THE COSTS AHEAD THIS EXPENSE DOES NOT HAVE A FISCAL INFLUENCE AND WE WILL PASS THE COSTS OUT TODAY TO THE FLOOR. IF YOU WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THE ACTIVITY. SO MOVED MME. CHAIR. US SENATE FILE A36 IS RECOMMENDED TO PASS ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED THE MOTION DOES PREVAIL IN THE EXPENSE IS PASSED. THANK YOU. NOW I WILL TRANSFORM THIS OVER TO SEN. MANN FOR THE TWO BILLS THAT I HAVE. MME. CHAIR PLEASE PROCEED. FIRST I WOULD LOVE TO MENTION SENATE SUBMIT 1680.
THIS 1,680. THIS IS A BILL THAT MAKES STATE FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR FAMILY GOOD FRIEND AS WELL AS NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR ASSISTANCE AND EDUCATION CASH WAS PASSED TO ASSISTANCE THIS TYPE OF CHILD CARE IN THE 2021 SESSION 2021 SESSION AND ALSO WE USED DURING THAT TIME FEDERAL COVID FINANCES WERE USED AND WE WANT TO MAKE THIS GRANT PROGRAM CONTINUE I AM THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS IMPORTANT COSTS WHICH SUPPORTS HOUSEHOLD GOOD FRIEND AND ALSO NEIGHBOR CHILD CARE COMPANIES AS WELL AS ASSISTS ENSURE HIGH QUALITY CARE AND ALSO LEARNING IS AVAILABLE TO ALL KIDS DESPITE IN WHICH THEY OBTAIN THEIR CARE OR THAT EXISTS TREATMENT COMPANY. HOUSEHOLD GOOD FRIEND AND ALSO NEIGHBOR SERVICE PROVIDERS SUPPLY LEGAL UNLICENSED DAY CARE TO KIDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND OUR REGULAR SELECTION OF LOOK AFTER PARENTS WITH INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN ESPECIALLY PARENTS IN A DIVERSE SOCIAL AND ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL AS PARENTS WITH IN DIFFERENT WAYS ABLE TO CHILDREN PARENTS FUNCTIONING NONSTANDARD OUR JOBS ALSO MAKE A GREAT DEAL OF USE FAMILY GOOD FRIEND AND ALSO NEIGHBOR CARRIERS.
IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE COSTS HEARING ON THE COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS GIVE PROGRAM ONE OF THE TESTIFIERS WAS FROM THE PROGRAM OR UNION IN THE RICHFIELD BLOOMINGTON LOCATION AS WELL AS THEY FOCUS THEIR INITIATIVES ON GIVING TRAINING AS WELL AS OTHER CHANCES FOR FAMILY GOOD FRIEND AND NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR CARRIERS. EVERY HOUSEHOLD OUGHT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE THAT CARES FOR THEIR KIDS WHEN THEY FUNCTION OUTSIDE THE HOME AND ALSO THE PRICES OF CHILD CARE AND SHORTAGE OF CHILD PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN THE DRIVING FORCES BETWEEN OR BEHIND MOMS AND DADS DECISION-MAKING. I KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF FAMILIES IN MY COMMUNITY AND ALSO ACROSS THE STATE THAT NEED THEIR KIDS TO BE CARED FOR BY A RELATIVE OR FRIEND MAY SHARE THEIR CULTURAL PERSONAL OR RELIGIOUS VALUES, AND I HOPE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ASSISTANCE THOSE PROVIDERS ALSO SO THEY CONTAINER OFFER THE FINEST CARE DESPITE THAT WAS OFFERING IT.
OVER THE PREVIOUS COUPLE OF YEARS DHS HAS BUILT A NETWORK OF NEIGHBORHOOD SUSTAINS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS GOOD FRIEND AND ALSO NEIGHBOR SUPPLIERS ACROSS THE STATE WE AUTHORIZED $4.5 MILLION IN ONE TIME ONCE FINANCING TO CONSTRUCT THIS NETWORK AND TO GET REQUIRED RESOURCES TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALSO COMMUNITIES. THESE FUNDS ARE ARRANGED TO RUN OUT IN 2023 2023 THIS EXPENSE WOULD MAINTAIN FINANCING FOR THIS NEW NETWORK AND ALSO WOULD ENABLE AN DEVELOPMENT INTO THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE STATE. AS YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE IN THE BILL THE GRANT AWARDS CANISTER BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES SUCH AS OFFERING CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE TRAININGS SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO FAMILY GOOD FRIEND AND ALSO NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR CAREGIVERS THEY CANISTER USE THE GRANT MONEY TO CONNECT CAREGIVERS AND CHILDREN'' S FAMILY MEMBERS WITH COMMUNITY RESOURCES CONNECTING FAMILY MEMBERS FRIEND AS WELL AS NEIGHBOR CARETAKERS AND KIDS'' S FAMILIES TO EARLY CHILDHOOD YEARS TESTING PROGRAMS AND SO FORTH.
I DO HAVE THINK THREE THREE TESTIFIERS TODAY THAT I BELIEVE ARE BELOW WITH US REMOTELY AND I WISH TO GO TO THE TESTAMENT NOW. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR FIRST IS SUE THOMAS. GREAT EARLY MORNING MME.

IN OUR COMMUNITY THERE'' S AN INCREDIBLE LACK OF CHILD CARE PROVIDERS BUT WE HAVE PROGRAMS THAT OFFER YOUNGSTERS TALK LANGUAGES BESIDES ENGLISH AND ALSO BECAUSE OF CLOSE WORK WE FINISH WITH THESE FAMILIES WE UNDERSTAND FAMILIES ARE SEARCHING FOR CULTURALLY RELEVANT CARE AND OFTEN USE FAMILY CLOSE FRIEND AS WELL AS NEIGHBOR CHILD CARE SINCE THEY KNOW THERE'' S PEOPLE WHO THEY KNOW WITH AND KNOW THEIR LIFESTYLE AND ALSO WE ALSO KEEP IN MIND THERE IS A MULTITUDE HOUSEHOLDS FROM NONTRADITIONAL HOURS THAT DEPEND ON PALS AND ALSO FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALSO NEIGHBORS TO GIVE CHILD CARE WHILE THEY WORK AND WE BELIEVE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS THE MATTER IF THEY OPERATE IN A LICENSE CENTER OR IN A RESIDENCE PROGRAM OR SCHOOL THAT OR FURTHER AN UNLICENSED PROVIDED THEY DESERVE THEM SUSTAINS NEEDED TO OFFER THE FINEST QUALITY TREATMENT FEASIBLE WHERE SUPPORTS CANISTER BE STANDARD TRAINING AND ALSO SECURITY THE SIGNIFICANCES OF TRAINING AS WELL AS A PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE THE WORTH OF HEALTHY AND BALANCED COMMUNICATIONS NOURISHMENT AND SO MUCH MORE.

I BEGAN TO SMILE BECAUSE YEARS EARLIER WHEN I WENT TO THE COLLEGE OF NORTH CAROLINA THE DISCUSSED KID AND ALSO CAN AND THEY WERE WONDERING IN WHICH THAT NETWORK WAS AS WELL AS TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS DESIGNED AFTER THE WASHINGTON STATE OF FF AND NETWORK THAT'' S IMPROVED AND ALSO DEVELOPED THERE AND ALSO IF THAT'' S THE SITUATION AS THEY CHECK OUT PARSING OUT THE EARLY CHILDHOOD YEARS THINGS IN MINNESOTA IS IT YOUR OBJECTIVE I CAN ASK WHAT YOUR INTENT IS IS HE YOUR NEED THAT THIS FOLLOW ALONG WITH THAT SAME PATH SO IT BECOMES EMBEDDED IN HOW WE DO SERVICE IN MINNESOTA. SEN. WIKLUND. THANKS SEN. HOFFMAN AND MME. CHAIR YES I WISH THE CASH THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE OVER THE PREVIOUS NUMBER OF YEARS HAS SHOWN WE CAN GIVE AN RELIABLE PATH FOR GRANT CASH TO GO TO THESE NETWORKS AND TO ASSISTANCE SUPPORT THE FAMILY MEMBERS BUDDY AS WELL AS NEIGHBOR SUPPLIERS IN THEIR OWN CULTURAL AND ALSO LANGUAGE PARTICULAR METHODS AND ALSO SO I BELIEVE WHAT THE COSTS IS INTENDING TO DO IS TO PRODUCE MORE POSSIBILITIES FOR THAT AND ALSO AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO FLESH OUT EVEN MORE NETWORKS THROUGHOUT THE STATE SOME MORE FAMILIES CANISTER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVEN MORE WELL-TRAINED PROVIDERS.
YES MME. CHAIR DOES ANSWER MY INQUIRY I WOULD HOPE THE HOPE IS NOT A METHOD THAT'' S THE NAME OF A CHILD THAT ' S NOT FUNNY BUT IN THIS INSTANCE AS WE BEGINNING TO CONSIDER ALL THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS POCKET OF YOUNGSTERS AND ALSO HOUSEHOLDS I'' M EXCITED TO SEE YOU BRING THIS ONWARD SINCE IT'' S BRINGING PLEASURE IN THE FACT THAT THREE DECADES THREE DECADES EARLIER WE'' RE HAVING THE SAME DISCUSSION AS WELL AS IS OF THE STATES THAT HAVE DONE IT. I WOULD HOPE THE DEPARTMENT REALIZES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS AND ALSO SUSTAINS IT REGARDING THE DISCUSSION THAT'' S GOING TO BE GOING ONWARD WHEN THEY START TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE EARLY CHILDHOOD YEARS SERVICES AND PROGRAMS IN MINNESOTA BECAUSE THIS IS A BENEFICIAL INVESTMENT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD.
THANK YOU AS WELL AS SIMPLY TO REMARK, THE DEPARTMENT DID HAVE SOME FUNDING FOR THE PDG GRANT WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH SOMEONE TO DO SOME PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND LEARNING FROM THIS SPECIFIC METHOD AND ALSO I ASSUME THEY ARE VERY DEDICATED TO PRODUCTION IT CANISTER TO NEW IN A SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT. OTHER COMMENTS SEN. ABELER. THANKS AND ALSO THANKS MME. CHAIR. I ACKNOWLEDGE I BELIEVE WE DID WITH A FEW OF THE CASH WE HAD BACK WHEN THE BIG PILE OF CASH ARRIVED AT United States BUT GOING AHEAD SIMPLY A THOUGHT TO YOU I'' VE A REALLY FEELING WE MAY SEE THIS ONCE AGAIN IN A BILL INVOLVING
United States SOMEDAY. IT'APPEARS LIKE IT ' S FOR LAWFUL AS WELL AS UNLICENSED WHICH I ASSUME IS A FANTASTIC SUGGESTION AS YOU WORK TO PUT SOME EVEN MORE STRUCTURE INTO THE PROGRAM YOU MAY NEED TO THANK WHAT'' S A GOOD-SIZED GIVE FOR PEOPLE TO GET HOW LOTS OF DO YOU WISHED TO SHOT TO VENTURE OUT WHAT ABOUT CIRCULATION ACROSS THE STATE TO SEE TO IT IT'' S COVERED SPECIFICALLY IN AREAS IN WHICH THERE'' S A LACK OF CHILDCARE I MEAN IN GREATER MINNESOTA IN PARTICULAR. I'' M CERTAIN THERE ARE SOME URBAN GROUPS THAT WOULD BE SERVED BY THIS ALSO SO I WOULD MOTIVATE YOU AS YOU WE DID A GREAT DEAL OF THOSE PROGRAMS SWIFTLY AND ALSO WE SPENT $600 $600 MILLION I BELIEVE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME FRANKLY BEHIND-THE-SCENES IT WAS A LOUSY WAY TO ACCOMPLISH BUSINESS SOME EXCELLENT PROGRAMS APPEARED OF IT AMONG THOSE MAYBE THIS SIMPLY A THOUGHT AS YOU GO FORWARD TO NOT BE SHY TO SIT WITH THE SUPPORTERS AS WELL AS HOUSES AS WELL AS OBTAIN SOME STRUCTURE SO THE MORE STRUCTURE THEY HAVE THE LESS THEY'' LL INVEST IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE THANKS.
SEN. WIKLUND. THANK YOU CHAIR AND SEN. ABELER THAT MAKES A GREAT DEAL OF SENSE AND I WILL ABSOLUTELY TALK WITH THEM ABOUT IF THERE'' S EVEN MORE LANGUAGE WE CONTAINER INCLUDE IN THE COSTS THAT WILL CERTAINLY DEFINE POINTS A LITTLE MORE STRUCTURE. ANYONE ELSE, SEN. WIKLUND BELIEVING FOR BRINGING THE EXPENSE ONWARD IT'' S BRILLIANT FUNCTION MAINTAINING KIDS IN THEIR AREA'' S WERE SPENDING PLACING CASH BACK INTO THOSE AREAS WHILE COMBATING THE YOUNGSTER CARE DILEMMA WERE I'' VE BEEN ASKED TO BE ADDED TO THE COSTS. ANY FINAL COMMENTS. KNOW I WOULD APPRECIATE WILL LAY THE COSTS OVER SO I DON'' T REQUIREMENT TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE TODAY BUT I DO HOPE THAT YOU SEE THE VALUE IN MAKINGORE RESOURCES AVAILABLE WITH TIME AND ALSO WHEN WE KNOW OVER 40% OF INFANTS AS WELL AS TODDLERS ARE BEING TOOK CARE OF IN THE SETTINGS WE WANT INDIVIDUAL WHO ARE CARING FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THESE IMPORTANT EARLY YEARS OF ADVANCEMENT.
I APPRECIATE THE TIME AS WELL AS YOUR FOCUS TODAY. THANK YOU KEEPING THAT THE COSTS IS LAID OVER. SEN. WIKLUND TO YOUR COSTS SENATE FILE 1675. 1,675. THANK YOU MME. CHAIR SENATE FILE 1,675 RELATES TO MEDICAL PRICING OPENNESS AS WELL AS I HAVE AN MODIFICATION AN AUTHOR'' S CHANGE. I PUT ON ' T KNOW THAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET IT IS THE A1 MODIFICATION. THE ACTIVITY TO MOVE THE A1 AMENDMENT EVERYONE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSED OKAY THE AMENDMENT IS TAKEN ON. THANKS THE AMENDMENT IT DOES CLARIFY MAKES TECHNICAL CHANGES IT WILL LIKEWISE ALTER THE BUILDING SO THE MEDICAL FACILITY CONFORMITY IS BY GENERALLY FIRST OF 2024 AS WELL AS THE OTHER MEDICAL OR DENTAL PRACTICES IT PROVIDES ANOTHER PERSON YEAR FOR THEM LIMITATION OF THIS COSTS.
AS I CLAIMED THE BILL RELATES TO MEDICAL RATES TRANSPARENCY OVER THE PAST 20 TWENTY YEARS MAINLY AT THE FEDERAL DEGREE THERE'' S BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO REDUCE HEALTHCARE PRICES AS WELL AS POSSIBLY IF WE EMPOWERED CONSUMERS TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL CARE BASED ON UNDERSTANDING THE HIGH QUALITY AND THE PRICE OF THE MEDICAL CARE THAT PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE A METHOD WE COULD MINIMIZE HEALTHCARE PRICES IN OUR COUNTRY. THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT EFFORTS TO PUT IN AREA THESE DIFFERENT PROPOSITIONS AND ALSO SADLY A GREAT DEAL OF THEM DIDN'' T AID IN REQUISITES OF PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT PATIENTS REQUIRED TO BE SOLUTIONS SO WHAT THIS BILLE WORKS TO PERFORM IS PUT MORE MEDICAL FACILITIES AND ALSO VARIOUS OTHER MEDICAL AND ALSO DENTAL TECHNIQUES MUST OFFER AT THE FEDERAL DEGREE THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT BY START IN 2021 4 20,214 HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE TO PUBLISH THEIR PRICES IN A MACHINE-READABLE FORMAT AS WELL AS THIS TAKES IT An ACTION FURTHER IN STIPULATIONS OF DETERMINING WHAT THE STANDARD STYLE IS SO INDIVIDUALS CONTAINER ACTUALLY UTILIZE THE INFO.
THE GUIDELINE IN THE STARTING DID NOT SPECIFY A SPECIFIC LAYOUT SO HOSPITALS COULD PRODUCE A STYLE OF THEIR OWN WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR CLIENTS TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE INFO THROUGHOUT FACILITIES. SENATE DOCUMENTS 1675 1,675 WOULD REQUIRE MINNESOTA MEDICAL FACILITY SYSTEMS TO REORGANIZE THEIR EXISTING DATA INTO THIS NEW STYLE NEXT JANUARY. BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER SUPPLIERS OF LOTS OF STORE ABOUT MEDICAL SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS THAT CAN BE PLANNED IN DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS RADIOLOGY SCANS ARE ORTHOPEDIC JOINT REPLACEMENTS VISION ENHANCEMENT SURGERIES AND SO ON, THEY ARE NOT HOSPITALS BUT THEIR SPECIALIZED PRACTICES AND ALSO THE EXPENSE WOULD REQUIRE THESE TECHNIQUES IN THESE SPECIALIZEDS WITH OVER $50 $50 MILLION IN ANNUAL EARNINGS TO PUBLISH THEIR COST IN THE SAME LAYOUT BY JANUARY 2025 SO THEIR COSTS CAN BE CONSISTED OF IN PRICE CONTRAST RECORDS FOR CUSTOMERS TOO. WHAT THIS WOULD APPEAR LIKE IN METHOD FOR CUSTOMERS THERE IS A WEBSITE YOU CAN GO TO TODAY CALLED TURQUOISE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLACE IN YOU TIN ENTER WHAT SOLUTION YOU'' RE THINKING ABOUT KNOWING THE NAME OF THE TREATMENT YOUR ZIP CODE AND THE DEVICE REACTION WITH THE CASH PRICE OF THAT TREATMENT AT HOSPITALS IN YOUR LOCATION.
IF YOU DO THIS YOU CAN SEE THIS QUITE VARIATION IN THE MONEY PRICES FOR THE PROCEDURE THROUGHOUT MEDICAL FACILITIES YOU CONTAINER ALSO DRILL DOWN FURTHER AND ALSO YOU CAN CHOOSE THE NAME OF YOUR OWN HEALTH INSURANCE WHICH CONTAINER PROGRAM YOU PRICES THE HOSPITAL FOR YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE SO THERE'' S A GREAT DEAL OF DETAILS THAT IS AVAILABLE BUT IF HOSPITALS ARE NOT UTILIZING THE EXACT SAME STYLE THAT MAKES IT MORE CHALLENGING FOR PEOPLE TO GET GAIN ACCESS TO TO IT.
WITH DETAILS SIMILAR TO THIS MEDICAL CARE CONSUMER GREAT FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME BE ABLE TO MAKE AN EDUCATED CHOICE REGARDING WHERE TO HAVE THEIR EXPENSIVE HEALTHCARE PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT BASED ON RATE THE BLUE-GREEN DEVICE DOES ALSO INCLUDE SOME DETAILS ABOUT CMS QUALITY RATING SO IT DOES HAVE DETAILS ABOUT HIGH QUALITY, AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIGHT INFO ABOUT RATE AND TOP QUALITY. SENATE DATA 1675 DOES 1,675 DOES ALSO ASK THE DIVISION OF HEALTH JOB THEM WITH DEVELOPING OR PROCURING A TOOL LIKE THIS FOR MINNESOTA HEALTH CARE CUSTOMERS THERE WILL BE A MONETARY NOTE THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED TO GET DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THAT EXPENSE WOULD BE FOR DEVELOPING THE DEVICE OR IF THEY COULD PURCHASE SOMETHING THAT'' S ALREADY OUT THERE.
I DO HAVE A TESTIFIER ONLINE TODAY JEAN ABRAHAM WAS A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA. MISS ABRAHAM PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND ALSO PROCEED. MME. CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANKS I'' M JEAN ABRAHAM HEALTH AND WELLNESS FINANCIAL EXPERT AS WELL AS PROFESSOR IN THE COLLEGE OF PUBLIC WELLNESS AT THE COLLEGE OF MINNESOTA. MY FEEDBACK TODAY REPRESENT MY OWN VIEWS AND ALSO NOT THOSE OF MY COMPANY. GREATER THAN 90% OF MINNESOTANS WITH EMPLOYER-BASED PROTECTION HAVE AN ANNUAL DEDUCTIBLE REQUIREMENT WITH STANDARD AMOUNTS THAT CURRENTLY REACH $4,200 PER YEAR FOR HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE COVERAGE STUDIES BY THE RAND COMPANY AND ALSO OTHERS LIKEWISE HAVE RECORDED FAST GROWTH IN COMMERCIAL HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN RATES AND ALSO SIGNIFICANT GEOGRAPHIC CERTAIN VARIATION. THESE FACTORS TOGETHER ENHANCE CUSTOMERS REWARDS TO SEARCH FOR AND USE RATES DETAILS WHEN MAKING OPTIONS REGARDING THE SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM WHOM THEY SEEK TREATMENT.
EXTENSIVE EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND ALSO PROMPT PRICES INFORMATION ALSO SUPPORT FINANCIAL STUDY TO NOTIFY POLICYMAKING AND ALSO REGULATORY ACTIONS TO ADVERTISE AFFORDABLE MEDICAL CARE MARKETS. LOTS OF SCIENTISTS CONSISTING OF MYSELF ARE INVESTIGATING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FEDERAL HOSPITAL COST OPENNESS POLICY THAT ENTERED INTO RESULT IN 2021. RESEARCHERS 2021. RESEARCHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ALSO HAVE BEGUN TO CONDUCT ANALYSES TO STEP HEALTH CENTER PRICE VARIANT FOR VARIOUS SOLUTIONS OR TO QUANTIFY HOW RATES VARY BY ORGANIZATIONAL OR MARKET CONNECTS. NONETHELESS MAKING USE OF THE ACTUAL MACHINE-READABLE INFORMATION HAD THAT ARE PUBLISHED ON-LINE BY HOSPITALS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY TESTING TO USE GIVEN THE ABSENCE OF A STANDARD INFORMATION STRUCTURE FORMAT. SO WHAT VALUE DOES US SENATE SUBMIT 1675 1,675 CONFER? FIRST REQUIRING A SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS FRAMEWORK WOULD ASSIST IN THE COMBINING OF FILES THROUGHOUT HOSPITALS AS WELL AS SUPPORT EVALUATIONS OF CRUCIAL STATE PLAN RELEVANT QUESTIONS. AS AN EXAMPLE YOU CAN KEEP AN EYE ON HOW PRICES ARE ALTERING IN TIME FOR VARIOUS SECTIONS OF PRIVATELY GUARANTEED POPULACES IN RESIDENT GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS AND ALSO ONE CAN ANALYZE THE CONNECTION IN BETWEEN MODIFICATIONS IN RATES AND ALSO SERVICE PROVIDER MARKET COMPETITORS THIS IS VERY CRUCIAL BECAUSE OF INCREASING COMBINATION VIA MERGING AND PROCUREMENT IN BOTH CARRIER AND ALSO INSURANCE PROVIDER MARKETS.
ALSO US SENATE FILE 60 AND 75 60 AND ALSO 75 CONFERS ALUE TO CONSUMERS AND ALSO COMPANY BUYER BY EXPANDING THE COLLECTION OF PROVIDERS WHO WILL BE COVERAGE INFORMATION THIS IS VALUABLE BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS PEOPLE CAN PROGRESSIVELY PICK TO USE OUTPATIENT SETUP ALONG WITH HOSPITAL-BASED SETTINGS FOR LOTS KINDS OF MEDICAL TREATMENTS. US SENATE SUBMIT 6 SIX AS WELL AS 75 IS VERY IMPORTANT ACTION IN ASSISTING CUSTOMERS MAKE MORE EDUCATED SELECTIONS CONCERNING WHERE FROM WHOM THEY RECEIVE THEIR TREATMENT AS WELL AS FINALLY IT ALLOWS THE STUDY AND POLICYMAKING AREAS TO BETTER MONITOR RATE GROWTH AND ALSO PRICE VARIANT ACROSS CARRIERS ALONG WITH HOW COSTS ARE TRANSFORMING WITH MODIFICATIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF SERVICE PROVIDER AS WELL AS INSURANCE COVERAGE MARKETS. THANK YOU. THANKS MISS OUT ON ABRAHAM MEMBERS ANY CONVERSATION? SEN. ABELER. THANKS MME. CHAIR AND ALSO SEN. WIKLUND THANKS FOR SERVICING THIS JUST A THOUGHT ONCE MORE AS YOU GO AHEAD, THE TERM REQUIREMENT FEE THERE'' S ALSO NORMAL NORMAL THERE IS WHAT WE COST AS WELL AS THERE IS WHAT AN AVERAGE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS WILL PAY SOME OR HIGHER AND SOME ARE REDUCED THE PMAP REPAYMENTS ARE LOW BUT THEY VARY SUBSTANTIALLY BY PROVIDER AS WELL.AS YOU GO AHEAD DEALING WITH THIS I HOPE YOU CARRY OUT IN THE PAST HEALTH CENTERS HAVE PUSHED BACK THAT IS TOO HARD OR SOMETHING IS WONDERFUL USE IN A FEW OF THIS IF YOU CAN SYSTEMATIZE WHAT YOU'' RE TRYING TO DO AND YOU MAY ALSO CONSIDER PACKAGES IF YOU'' RE GOING TO EMBRACE A SHIPMENT SOME HOSPITALS BUT HAVE DIFFERENT RATES WOULD INCLUDE DIFFERENT THINGS AS FOR THE PRICE AND I PUT ON'' T HONESTLY KNOW YOU GET EXACT REPRESENTATION SOME PLACES PROVIDE A DISCOUNT FOR CASH MONEY An INDIVIDUAL STROLLS IN WITH CASH KEEPING THAT PACKAGE PRICE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT BE TOENAILED DOWN I REFLECT IN TIME THEN ATTY.
GEN. HATCH OB OWNED HOSPITALS TO GET INDIVIDUALS MONEY PRICE CUT SOMETHING EQUIVALENT TO THE ORDINARY COMMERCIAL PRICE OR SOMETHING. IT'' S An ACTUALLY EXCELLENT SUGGESTION ESPECIALLY IF YOU CANISTER CONNECT INDIVIDUALS WITH ARE THE EXPENSES YOU MAY UNDERSTAND HEALTH CENTER CHECKS OUT ARE GREATER THAN JUST A $50 CO-PAY IT'' S A WORTHY ENDEAVOR THANK YOU. MME. CHAIR AS WELL AS SEN. ABELER MANY THANKS I ASSUME THERE IS WORK HAPPENING I KNOW THE AUTHOR IN THE RESIDENCE REPRESENTATIVE ELKINS I INTEND TO ACKNOWLEDGE HE HAS DONE A GREAT DEAL OF SERVICE THIS THIS EXPENSE AND ALSO SOME OTHERS IN STIPULATIONS OF HAVING INDIVIDUALS INTEGRATE ON STANDARDIZING THE DATA FORMATS SO IT CANISTER BE OBTAINABLE I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT THE NEXT TIP OF CONSIDERING WHAT INFO IS PROVIDED AS WELL AS HOW IS IT PERTINENT TO A SPECIFIC CLIENT THIS CONCEPT OF STANDARD CHARGES WHAT DOES IT MEAN? I THINK THERE'' S A WHOLE LOT EVEN MORE WORK GOING ON IN REGARDS TO THAT AND ALSO YOU ARE RIGHT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU DON'' T KNOW EXACTLY ALL THE SERVICES YOU REQUIRED BUT YOU UNDERSTAND YOU NEED YOUR KNEE CHANGED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO UPCOMING UP WITH A MEANS TO ENSURE IT'' S OBTAINABLE FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY WISH TO SEE DETAILS ABOUT A SPECIFIC SOLUTION THAT IS AVAILABLE THAT WOULD BE USEFUL TOO.
THANK YOU. PARTICIPANTS OTHER COMMENTS OR INQUIRIES SEEING NONE SEN. WIKLUND FINAL THOUGHTS. I SEE THIS AS 1 EVEN MORE METHOD WE COULD NOT ONLY EMPOWER PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND MEDICAL CARE COSTS BETTER BUT WE CONTAINER ALSO OFFER A METHOD FOR SCIENTISTS AS PROFESSOR ABRAHAM AS SAID AS WELL AS CONSIDER COSTS IN TIME AND ALSO BY MAKING SURE THE LAYOUT IS STANDARDIZED AND WE HAVE A TOOL TO BE ABLE TO VIEW THEM YOU THE INFO I THINK THAT WILL ASSIST US MAKE PROGRESS AS WE LOOK AT WAYS TO UNDERSTAND AND LOWER HEALTHCARE EXPENSES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SEN. AND WITH THAT SAID THE BILL WILL BE LAID OVER. SEN. WIKLUND ANY OTHER THOUGHTS PRIOR TO WE ADJOURN. CONCERN 1 WITH THE OBTAIN STUFF DONE IS TO INTIMIDATE THE STATE.
