Representative Acree, sponsor of House Bill 10-1029, introduced the bill which was recommended by the interim committee on the Developmental Disability Waiting List. Representative Acree spoke to changes in the bill that would occur with the adoption of amendment L.003 (Attachment S). She stated that the bill directs the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to work with one or more nonprofit organizations to develop a list of approved vendors who are willing to sell durable medical equipment and medical supplies at discounted prices to persons who have applied for, but are not yet receiving, benefits under Medicaid.

05:15 PM -- Fofi Mendez, representing Family Voices, testified in support of the bill. She explained the importance for families to have access to discounted medical supplies as they wait for Medicaid funding.
