Senate Bill 349 and House Bill 670 are currently under review, and their outcome could greatly affect our access to essential prescription services. While the specifics of these changes are still unfolding, the importance of our collective voice in this matter cannot be overstated. We must come together as a community to express our concerns and advocate for our rights.

Your experiences, stories, and voices are powerful tools in shaping the decisions that affect us all. We encourage you to reach out to your congressperson through letters or phone calls to share your thoughts on SB 349

Senate Bill 349 had a hearing yesterday with retirees from all over the State testifying.  It was great to see MCEA retirees at the hearing. House Bill 670 is scheduled for a hearing on March 12, 2024, in the Appropriations Committee.  Keep sending letters, emails, and phone calls to the Appropriations Committee.

The bill passed 3rd reading and is now ready to crossover.  We will update you on every movement of the Collective Bargaining for Supervisor's bill.

Keep the emails, letters, and phone calls going.  The legislators need to know how much collective bargaining means to us!

Calling on all MCEA members! We are participating in this event to build relationships with our community. We need members to step up and show our faces to build power. Solidarity is key!
