Request for Feedback by Friday, Oct. 14th

As the State moves to a new system of services through the LME/MCO model and the 1915 b/c waiver we would like to ask that you take the time to look at the General Statutes 122C- 170 and 171 which guide the local and state consumer and family advisory committees.  Please use the links to the current statute and format below to provide feedback.  Please send your feedback to Suzanne Thompson or to the Consumer Empowerment Team member assigned to your CFAC by Friday, October 14th.
