The Robert G. (Bob) Bethell Joint Committee on Home and
Community Based Services and KanCare Oversight will hold a series of hearings
today in Room 548-S of the Kansas Statehouse. The 11-member legislative committee
is chaired by Senator Mary Pilcher-Cook and co-chaired by Representative David
Crum.
The committee will receive updates from Brownback
Administration officials on KanCare implementation, and will also hear from a
large number of stakeholders and advocates on KanCare issues and concerns. Tom
Laing, Executive Director of InterHab, will offer testimony to the committee on
concerns related to the January 2014 inclusion of I/DD long-term supports and
services within KanCare.
Today’s meeting represents the first of two approved days of
hearings this fall for the oversight committee.
