0002|     42ND LEGISLATURE - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - SECOND
    |
0003|     SESSION, 1996
    |
0004|                         INTRODUCED BY
    |
0005|                     ELIZABETH T. STEFANICS
    |
0006|     
    |

    |
0009|     FOR THE LEGISLATIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
    |
0010|     
    |
0011|                           A MEMORIAL
    |
0012|     URGING THE GOVERNOR TO DIRECT ALL STATE AGENCIES TO INCLUDE
    |
0013|     COUNTY REPRESENTATION IN ALL DECISION-MAKING AFFECTING COUNTIES.
    |
0014|       
    |
0015|       WHEREAS, the state revenue shortfall and federal funding
    |
0016|     reductions will place substantially increased burdens on local
    |
0017|     governments, especially counties; and
    |
0018|       WHEREAS, counties are alarmed that shifts to managed care
    |
0019|     health delivery will leave them with substantial health needs
    |
0020|     and crush local provider services, but leave few revenue sources
    |
0021|     to support those needs; and
    |
0022|       WHEREAS, state decisions on "medigrant" distribution and
    |
0023|     managed health care delivery systems will directly affect every
    |
0024|     aspect of county government responsibility; and
    |
0025|       WHEREAS, virtually every policy decision made at the state
    |
0001|     level affects non-urban New Mexicans and county governments;
    |
0002|       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE
    |
0003|     OF NEW MEXICO that the governor of the state of New Mexico be
    |
0004|     requested to direct every state agency to notify statewide
    |
0005|     organizations of counties at the beginning of any policy-changing process; and
    |
0006|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that counties be given an equal
    |
0007|     voice in each decision-making process; and
    |
0008|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a representative of county
    |
0009|     government interests be added to the health care task force, the
    |
0010|     medicaid advisory group and all other groups dealing with
    |
0011|     subjects and issues that directly affect county government,
    |
0012|     especially in the health and human services fields; and
    |
0013|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be sent
    |
0014|     to the governor and each statewide organization of counties for
    |
0015|     distribution.
