Support for Families of Children with Special Health Needs
Legislative Progress
Senate
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Senators Hassan and Scott, would continue funding for centers that help families of children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. These centers are unique because they are often run by parents who have children with similar health needs and can offer first-hand advice.
- The plan provides immediate money to keep these centers open through September 2026. After that, it authorizes $6 million in yearly funding from 2027 through 2030 to ensure these services remain available for the long term.
- These centers help families navigate the complicated healthcare system, find specialized doctors, and understand their insurance options. By providing peer-to-peer support, they help parents manage the daily challenges of caring for a child with special needs and ensure children get the medical care they require.
