Action Alert!

WE NEED ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES (APS) FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

We have an adult protective services bill pending in the House of Representatives and if it is to become law this session, we need your help. SB 699 is currently in the House Health and Human Services Committee. But because time is so short before the legislature finishes its year, we’re targeting the full House to appeal to them to get this Bill passed.

We desperately need your help. Click here for more information in Word, and click here for the same information in pdf.

Thank you,
