Madison County board introduces resolution supporting H.R. 6800 (HEROES Act), referral to committee pending
Summary
Board member Ms. Novacich‑Koberna read a resolution supporting the federal HEROES Act and asked that it be referred to committee; members debated the proper referral and the chairman said he would decide the committee assignment.
Board member Ms. Novacich‑Koberna presented a resolution at the May 20 meeting expressing the county board’s support for U.S. House H.R. 6800, the HEROES Act. The resolution lists multiple provisions the sponsor cited — including direct funding to state and local governments, hazard pay and additional testing and provider relief funding — and urges Madison County’s congressional delegation and U.S. senators to support the measure should it return to the House.
Ms. Novacich‑Koberna read the resolution aloud at the meeting and asked that it be placed on a committee agenda for further review. Several board members suggested alternate committee referrals; one member, Mr. Walters, asked that the resolution be routed to Government Relations. The chair said he would determine the proper committee referral and proceed accordingly.
The resolution was introduced for committee consideration; the board did not vote to adopt the resolution on the floor at this meeting.
