File a Witness Slip to Support Higher DSP Wages!
On Thursday, March 20 at 8:00 am, the House Appropriations - Health and Human Services Committee will hold a hearing to consider many different bills, including our bill that would increase the state DSP wage reimbursement to 150% of minimum wage across Illinois (HB 2788)!
We need your help NOW to file a “witness slip” before this hearing, telling the committee members that you support the DSP wage increase. The more witness slips we get in favor of our bill, the bigger a signal it will send to those State Representatives.
We’ve included instructions below. It may look like a lot of steps, but the process only takes a couple minutes to fill out your information and make a few clicks.
When you’re done, please share these instructions with your own networks!
Witness Slip Instructions:
1) Complete all information for "I. Identification" (If “Firm/Business or Agency” and “Title” don’t apply to you, just put “NA”)
2) For "II. Representation," indicate if you are an individual with a disability, parent/family, staff at a provider agency, etc. and include that you support They Deserve More
3) For "III. Position": Select "Proponent" if you support the DSP wage increase
4) For "IV. Testimony", select "Record of Appearance Only”
5) Click on the box next to "I Agree to the ILGA Terms of Agreement"
6) Click on the box in the lower right corner "Create (Slip)"
Thank you for your help!
