A Voice on The Hill.
Just to know the laws and legislation isn’t good enough; we must share our knowledge and expertise with our representatives so they create common-sense laws that enable and embolden the private provider network.
2025 Legislative Efforts
This year, the YPA's main legislative goal is to reinstate direct care providers to COLA consideration language.

Meet the Team
After years of watching legislation impact providers without providers’ professional input, influence or oversight, the YPA knew we needed to be more involved politically.
The YPA has previously contracted with legislative consultants, but has recently restructured to keep a powerful presence on Capitol Hill. Executive Director, Mariah Hurst, has taken over the legislative representation.
The Executive team works together to ensure that a voice for private providers is at the table before, during, and after bills are passed that will impact our system.
We’re proud to have our team represent YPA interests on the hill. As members of the YPA, you can make sure the issues that impact you most will be represented.
I want to make it clear that the lobbying sector does an important job. It is very useful to the government to hear the views of a broad range of groups to make sure we get the best.
