Talking Points
This bill helps provide protections against pay discrimination for workers.

This also creates transparency around what pay will be offered when a job is posted.

Talking Points:
MT has a mental health crisis – and one of the main barriers to access to care is a lack of providers. We must pay our providers a competitive rate.

Gov Greg commissioned a study that proved in order for MT to retain health care workers, the state needed to dramatically increase provide rates. The Gov ignored his own study – and only proposes 1/3 of the recommendation.
MT must fund 100% of the suggested rates.

Talking Points
Montana faces a mental health care crisis: Our children need fully funded mental health care support in schools.

We must fully fund CSCT, Comprehensive School and Community Treatment Mental Health Center service under contract with public-school districts.

Remove CSCT from OPI, which doesn’t adequately fund school children’s behavioral health.

Talking Points:
We must pay our Nursing Home providers a competitive rate, or more nursing homes will close. This will harm elderly Montanans and their families.

Governor Gianforte commissioned a study that showed MT needs to dramatically increase Nursing home provider rates to keep workers. The Governor ignored his study – and only proposes ONE THIRD of what his study recommended.
