FEDERAL
UPDATE Targeted
case management fix passes U.S. House Minnesota’s entire
House Congressional delegation voted in favor of H.R. 5613, which included
the targeted case management (TCM) moratorium provisions. The bill
passed the House Thursday afternoon on a 349-62 vote, which was more than
the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
AMC and other
stakeholders are very pleased with the outcome of this vote. Please
take a moment to contact your Member(s) of Congress and thank them for
voting in favor of H.R. 5613. We now await action in the
Senate. Thanks to all county
officials and staff who contacted members of our Congressional delegates
and also to Lockridge/Grindal for its diligence on this important
provision. For
more information contact: Patricia Coldwell,
