IL HR0775

Illinois House of Representatives urges Congress to pass federal funds to states via block grants for public welfare and Medicaid purposes

Resolution asserts that block grants will allow Illinois to design and develop innovative, efficient, and productive Medicaid and welfare programs tailored to state residents' needs

Resolution notes that the U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget allowing the federal government to provide states with block grants for Medicaid and welfare entitlements

Resolution identifies growth in Medicaid and welfare entitlement spending as a significant budget concern that requires state-level management authority to control costs

Suitable copies of the resolution shall be delivered to the Governor and each member of the Illinois Congressional delegation
