A Milestone Today!

Today was the first meeting of the legislative LGBTQ Public Health and Human Services Network.



The committee was established by a law that established the committee...
Section 207 of Public Act 19-117 established a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Health and Human Services Network to make recommendations to the state legislative, executive and judicial branches of government concerning the delivery of health and human services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer persons in the state, to be administered by this Commission.
This is the first statutory legislative committee for LGBTQ issues in the nation, there are other state committees but they were not created by a law, most of them are advisory committees established by a governor or legislature but they are not written into law.

All we did today was to go over the goals of the committee and our ideas of what we will like to be included in the committee goals.
