The Senate adjourned the Second Extraordinary Session on Health
Care yesterday after passing a raft of tobacco control bills.
The Governor had called the special session last June to work on
the MCO fix and health care issues. Legislators passed a final
Managed Care Organization tax on February 29, and were able to
pulls several other issues into the special session, including
the aforementioned tobacco bills, rate increases for the
developmental services community, and the “Right to Die” bill.
Now that the special session has adjourned in both houses, the
Right to Die bill can take effect in 90 days.
CSAC will provide a more comprehensive list of special session
legislation in the coming days.
