Systemic inequalities in healthcare, employment, and state and federal pandemic responses have made marginalized people more vulnerable to death and harm from COVID-19.

We encourage the committee to support Proposed House Bill 5614. While we have only been able to review the bill’s proposed concept, we believe that the concept set forth in Proposed House Bill 5614 is strong enough to merit support even without exact language.
