Legislative Agenda 2023 – 2024

IMHCA is excited to announce our 2024 Legislative Priorities! Thank you to everyone who completed our survey this fall to craft these priorities. This year we will be focusing our attention on workforce development issues, increasing funding to the mental health provider loan repayment program, and identity protection for Counselors. Additionally, we will be working to protect LGBTQ+ rights, respond to licensure board changes, monitor the roll out of the Counseling Compact, and advocate for increased rates from private insurers.

You can help us in these efforts! IMHCA’s annual Day on the Hill was scheduled for Tuesday, February 20, 2024. This year we hosted a legislator breakfast at 7:30am in the Capitol and returned in the afternoon to lobby in the rotunda. The day was followed by a social hour and summary of the day’s events to follow. We hope you can join us for parts or all of the days events!
