NoHLA Legislative Updates

These updates are current as of April 15, 2020, following the end of the most recent legislative session.

Governor Inslee acted on all the health care bills and budget items that we reported in our previous updates. Our Legislative Summary and Budget Summary complete our reports on the 2020 Legislative Session.

The session came to an unusual end with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic in Washington. The shifting priorities and financial uncertainty led the Governor to veto many bills and sections of the budget. His bill signings were in isolation, without the usual audience of interested stakeholders and legislators behind him.

Please visit our Legislative Updates page for NoHLA's summaries of past sessions. We hope you find these updates helpful, and we welcome you to share them.

Testimonials

 "Within weeks of NoHLA's Medicaid training, I was able to use the information you taught us to identify numerous cases in which families were wrongly denied coverage—and to bring those cases forward to get them resolved.

By giving all of us tools and knowledge to successfully advocate for people, NoHLA has impacted so many lives – making healthcare accessible and helping families avoid financial disaster."

"I want to tell you how much I enjoy your presentations at First Friday Forum. I get happy when I see NOHLA on the agenda, and kinda sad without it!"
