McCLELLAN'S BILL PASSED!

Today in House Education- Students and Daycare Subcommittee, Delegate McClellan’s HB 257, a bill directing the Department of Education to review it’s guidelines for Homebound Education to expand the eligible practitioners to bring a case forward to include licensed clinical social workers and licensed professional counselors. We supported this bill and last week, lobbyists on behalf of a variety of school personnel objected to the original language and the bill was tabled. We worked with the patron, as well as the opponents to redraft the bill to achieve the desired result in a clearer manner. Today, the bill was pulled off the table and reported unanimously. It will be up in the full Education Committee on Monday morning.
