Concurrent Resolution on State Innovation for Transition from Government Benefits to Self-reliance

HCR 8 is a formal statement by the state legislature expressing support for initiatives that help residents transition from government assistance programs to self-sufficiency.

The resolution applies broadly to all state agencies managing benefit programs. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal effect and serves only to communicate legislative intent.
