HB18 seeks to restrict access to what a team of fewer than 25 committee members determines to be "too expensive." ‪#‎utleg please listen to the experts on this one.

So many bills fly unnoticed through the Utah Legislature during its warp-speed 45-day session. H.B. 18 has been defeated multiple times, yet still comes up each session. Reach out to your legislator and let them know you do not support trying to save a few dollars on the backs of Utah's most fragile population. They'll only listen if we speak up! ‪#‎utpol ‪#‎mentalhealthUT ‪#‎BlockUTHB18 #UTLeg #mentalhealthmatters
