A Joint Legislative Committee on Coronavirus Response has been formed and has met four times as they try to develop a legislative concept providing for short term economic relief for distressed communities. Health care, shelter, and food are the largest drivers, though many other issues have been discussed. A document that summarizes the issues the Coronavirus Response Committee has been discussing and prioritizing (as of March 24th) is available here. Note they have provided a rank of Priority 1 or Priority 2 to many items – the other numbers are just for organizational purposes, not ranking.
