Statement from Sen. Rusty Black Regarding Disability Funding for 2027

JEFFERSON CITY — State Sen. Rusty Black, R-Chillicothe, has issued a statement relating to restoring funding for disability services to the fiscal year 2027 state operating budget: 

“Missouri’s most vulnerable citizens and the families who care for them deserve our full support. Day Habilitation Services and Self-Directed Support aren’t just budget line items, they are lifelines that allow Missourians with developmental disabilities to live with dignity in their own communities. As chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, my intention is to work with my colleagues to restore these cuts as the Senate builds its budget.”
