There are a couple of Bills we need stopped from passing, HB-3838 and SB-1138. These bills, developed by SEIU, propose the creation of a Home and Community-Based Services Workforce Standards Board with broad authority to regulate wages, staffing schedules, and working conditions in all home and community-based care settings. This Bill bypasses democratic processes, will place a significant financial burden on Pioneer Place, disproportionately impacts nonprofit tax-exempt organizations, increases costs to consumers, etc. We need everyone to reach out to their legislators, specifically Senators Merkley and Wyden, because we need 2 democrats to sway this Bill from being passed. If anyone needs email templates or anything else, please reach out to me at ccrismon@pnhvale.com. Thank you for your support!
