HB1939

Legislation. Wooden gavel and books in background. Law and justice concept

HB1939, the ID/A Market Index for DSP Services, was originally scheduled for a vote in the House Human Services Committee on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. However, the bill was removed from consideration prior to the vote due to identified deficiencies in the bill’s language. Revisions are currently underway to address these issues, and it is anticipated that the committee will reconsider the bill for a vote sometime in November 2025.

RCPA continues to closely monitor the bill’s progress and will provide updates to members as new information becomes available.

Please direct any questions regarding this legislation to Tim Sohosky.

The Pennsylvania House Human Services Committee is scheduled to vote on HB1939 on Tuesday, October 29, 2025.

HB1939, along with its companion bill in the Senate (SB617), would establish annual rate increases for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) services based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). This bi-partisan legislation, supported in both chambers, would help ensure that provider reimbursement rates keep pace with inflation, supporting workforce stability and maintaining high-quality services across the system.

RCPA supports HB1939 and encourages members to contact the House Human Services Committee to express support and request a “Yes” vote on the bill.
