The inspiration for this resolution came from a constituent, Ella, who underwent spinal fusion surgery after a severe idiopathic scoliosis diagnosis and has since returned to her regular activities, including soccer. The measure received support from members of both parties as it moved out of committee unanimously. I am looking forward to consideration by the House chamber.

This bill would protect benefits for foster youth by allowing counties to screen for and conserve benefits in a savings account for when a foster youth exits care.
