REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON RULES, DECEMBER 12, 2001
A RESOLUTION
1 Memorializing Congress to include full insurance parity
2 legislation in the final version of the Fiscal Year 2002
3 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education spending bill (HR
4 3061).
5 WHEREAS, By a unanimous voice vote, the United States Senate
6 has passed full insurance parity legislation as an amendment to
7 an unrelated spending bill covering the Department of Labor and
8 Industry, the Department of Health and Human Services and the
9 Department of Education (HR 3061/S 1536); and
10 WHEREAS, This action again puts the United States Senate on
11 record in support of nondiscriminatory insurance coverage of
12 treatment for mental illness; and
13 WHEREAS, The effort to enact full parity legislation this
14 year now shifts to the United States House of Representatives,
15 which has historically been less receptive to efforts to
16 establish Federal standards for health insurance coverage;
1 therefore be it
2 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the
3 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania memorialize the Congress of the
4 United States to support including full insurance parity
5 legislation in the final version of the Fiscal Year 2002 Labor-
6 Health and Human Services-Education spending bill (HR 3061); and
7 be it further
8 RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to
9 the members of Congress from Pennsylvania.
