Conferees Set to Deliberate on Budget Differences
Twelve senior legislators have been appointed to work out the differences between the House of Delegates and Senate of Virginia budget proposals. Today VHCA-VCAL communicated with each of the conferees, as well as the House Appropriations and Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee staff, thanking them for the continued investment in nursing facilities but expressing support for the Senate’s approach because it has a broader positive impact on providers, and ultimately, residents.
