Human Services Caucus Legislative Goals 2025-2026

(These are in addition to our Statewide Legislative Goals.)

  • Oppose and roll back privatization and all other low-quality replacements of public works, such as low-quality AI technologies. Technological advancements should always improve the quality of services and never replace employees with cheap low-quality alternatives. HHSC contracts should increase oversight and accountability which will not be serviced by privatization of public services.

  • Maintain and increase staffing to deal with ongoing case load growth, enact an across-the-board career ladder to reduce staff turnover, and transparency in availability and criteria for merit raises and bonuses.

  • Safe and sanitary work environments including:

    • Independent monitoring and stronger regulations defining workplace environments.

    • Increase funding for training for all staff levels with a particular focus on support staff, and increased funding for adequate staffing levels.

    • Increased funding for sufficient and functional equipment, including software and consumable supplies.
