SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 3
(By Senator Hunter)

Endorsing the Medicaid Community Attendant Services Act, a bill currently before the United States House of Representatives, designated HR 2020, and petitioning our congressional delegation to support passage of the act.

Whereas, Many people with disabilities use personal attendant services for activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting, feeding and dressing; and
Whereas, Medicaid dollars for attendant services are under each state's jurisdiction as an option; and
Whereas, About two out of three people with disabilities are unemployed or underemployed in part due to lack of personal attendant services; and
Whereas, the Medicaid Community Attendant Services Act, MiCASA, a bill currently before the House of Representatives of the United States, also called HR 2020, is set to provide for a National Attendant Services Program from existing funds; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the West Virginia Legislature endorses MiCASA (HR 2020), the Medicaid Community Attendant Services Act, and petitions our SsState's Ccongressional delegation to actively support the passage of the Community Attendant Services Act; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the members of the West Virginia Ccongressional delegation.
