this could be one of the times when we don't have a definition at the federal level could be helpful ...

DC appears to be moving faster and with more strict policies than anything that might come from the feds, so don't expect any additional burden (or relief) for our members from whatever the feds decide to do

Will this rule also address testing for those that refuse mandates? MT has a mandate against mandates and we're concerned about how to get enough tests for weekly testing as well as who will pay for them, the employee or agency?

Mary - these are some of the details that we need to see the rules before we will know

sorry, I meant refuse vaccines, not mandates.

Okay thanks Chuck.

We expect is everything goes perfectly 30% unvaccinated workforce. Especially, direct care.

Can we get a recording of this presentation?

Will the powerpoint be made available?

Yes, I'd like to share the PP with my members . . .

Yes Malory, we will send out the link for the recording and the PowerPoints. Hope you are well!

Thank you!

The CCBHC State Impact Report should be released on October 4th.

thanks

John - the CCBHC demo has that provision

Delaware does not. And division directors are not really allowed to ask for additional funding in the state budget other than an annual 1% discretionary increase.

John, I shared the MD statute in response to your emailed question.
