We are grateful for the leadership that you and your colleagues have shown in safeguarding New Jersey residents from some of the most harmful policies being advanced in DC. Like you, we are deeply committed to protecting the people of our state from the rising extremism at the federal level that is putting our democracy at risk.  However, we were extremely concerned to learn that the State legislature is not currently scheduled to reconvene until after the November election, other than for matters related to the budget. We note that last calendar year (2024), the State legislature met starting in mid-September and then frequently throughout October. Delaying meeting until sometime in November is, therefore, particularly alarming due to the rapidly evolving crisis at the national level that threatens our democracy and directly harms the residents of our state. We fully expect that you know what we are concerned about.  Attacks on immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and those who rely on life-saving programs such as SNAP and Medicaid have intensified and continue to do so every day. Our environment and our very voting rights are being threatened. At this moment, state leaders need to meet and take what actions they can to block immediate threats and prepare to resist the future ones that are coming.   We respectfully but firmly urge you to work with Senator Scutari and members of the Legislature to ensure that it meets on a regular basis beginning in September to address the new challenges now facing New Jerseyans.

Limit the Hawaii State Boat Harbor Fee increase to the size of the boat. Do not charge the boater for the entire length of the dock, which can be up to 9 feet of 'airspace'.

All Insurers selling policies on the NYS Insurance Exchange should be required to offer plans (at every "metal" level) which include Out-of-Network (OON) benefits (at 80% UCR based on Fair Health Database) with a cap on out-of-pocket OON expenses. They should also be mandated to cover nationally recognized Centers of Excellence and health care providers caring for patients at these centers on an in-network basis, at least in the cases of life-threatening conditions/procedures like cancer, transplants, etc. This should be true even if these centers are out of the plan's usual geographic region, including out of state.
