Equality for Working Marylanders:
Josh Basile, a DC-based attorney and quadriplegic, was at risk of losing his job and Medicaid benefits due to a shift in state programming. We provided insight into the current laws and suggested ways to solve his situation. Josh provided testimony and lobbied for legislative support of
SB660/HB1280.
On May 8th, Gov. Hogan signed the bill into law, allowing working individuals with disabilities to keep their jobs and nursing services intact. Josh gives his praise to DRM, stating:
"From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank DRM and Nancy Pineles for all of the valuable assistance and ongoing support that I received during the SB660/HB1280 advocacy campaign. I never felt alone thanks to DRM!"
