Every indication is that the Senate will pass Timothy's Law on Friday (September 15, 2006) - perhaps around 2:30 PM. Its not clear what other business they may have other than confirming a new judge for the court of appeals.
Groups supporting Timothy's Law are issuing memos in support of the bill on their letterhead, and we expect the Assembly will return to Albany to pass this legislation later this year.
Members of the TLC executive committee are meeting with various Pataki administration officials to garner their support for the law. Please make sure to express your support for this legislation - the Senate, Assembly and Governor's office should be buried in support memos
from hundreds of organizations and letters from constituents. This agreement is not everything we had hoped for, but it is a solid foundation from which to build a comprehensive parity law, and it is important that it be enacted this year so that millions of New Yorkers can benefit. Then we can and will begin the work needed to make the coverage more complete.
MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WORKED SO DILIGENTLY TO END THIS
INSURANCE DISCRIMINATION - WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO, BUT THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT MILESTONE. PLEASE HELP US TO SEE IT THROUGH!
