We wanted to let you know that House Bill 4688—the minimum staffing mandate—was pulled from the House agenda today where it was scheduled for a final vote. This is due to your effort in directly expressing to lawmakers how this could impact our communities, and we thank you for your outreach.

It’s important to remember: this is not over. The House could decide to take this up any time between now and the end of the year, and there will certainly be a push to do so.

We need you to continue connecting with your state representatives and letting them know this is not something we support.
