The House of Representatives has passed a bill I co-sponsored that will make services available to prevent violence in our community.

HB 5677 An Act Concerning the Availability of Community Violence Prevention Services Under Medicaid supports new models for community safety by investing in violence prevention services that focus on intervention and aftercare to reduce violence and save lives. The legislation passed unanimously and now heads to the Senate.

Treating the root causes of violence is one of the most important pieces to making our communities safer.

I want to thank Representative Jillian Gilchrest and Speaker of the House Matt Ritter for their hard work and support of this legislation.
