Visitors brief committee on home nursing and independence for people with disabilities
Summary
Two visitors, Allison Price and Renee Craig, addressed the House Health Committee about obstacles to home nursing and supports for people with disabilities; the committee acknowledged the remarks but did not hold a public hearing.
During the meeting the committee briefly recognized visitors who had come to observe and hear about issues affecting people with disabilities. Allison Price of Mobile introduced herself and her 4-year-old daughter, Sofia, and Renee Craig — described in the record as an advocate with a bridge program and a nurse — was also present to raise awareness about obstacles to independence for people with disabilities.
The committee chair thanked the visitors for coming and said the setting did not constitute a public hearing, so formal testimony was not taken. Committee members praised the visitors for raising awareness about the challenges families face securing home nursing and supports that enable independent living; one member noted the topic aligns with nonprofit work and support services but invited the visitors to speak with staff about next steps.
The committee adjourned shortly after the brief exchange.
