With just days left in the legislative session, PEF is asking every member to take a few  minutes to send a letter to their local senator and assembly member on priorities most important to them. The 2022-23 state budget approved by the legislature and signed by the governor included many of the priorities PEF advocated for, including bonuses for healthcare workers and pension reform. But we never stop lobbying on behalf of our members and the PEF legislative team is meeting with lawmakers as the legislative session enters its final weeks. PEF has identified 14 end-of-session bills to focus on and we’ve made it easy for you to click the link below, fill in your address, and generate a letter that will be emailed to your elected leaders. Thank you in advance. It really does make a difference.
