The evening of October 1 the US Senate passed The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, an omnibus bill that, in addition to the revised Wall Street/Main Street rescue plan, includes mental health/addiction parity and other provisions. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act combines a revised Wall Street/Main Street rescue bill with the tax extender, disaster relief, Alternative Minimum Tax patch, and the parity bill passed by the Senate September 23. The vote was 74-25. The House is expected to take up the same bill late Thursday or Friday. PCPA urges members to contact members of Congress and urge them to vote YES on this vital legislation. Further questions may be directed to Anne Leisure.
