On the recordNovember 21, 2019
Madam Chair, I accept the condolences, but, fortunately for me, I was under threat but did not die. Regrettably, that situation may happen again and someone may die, and that is what I just want to underscore is that social workers, healthcare workers, all social service workers are put in danger many times. This bill and this amendment would simply make sure that we got participation and input from the employers, the employees, and everyone concerned to make sure that we have a good plan and that we use best practices, because, regrettably, not much seems to have changed since the days when I was a social worker. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Garcia). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 9 Offered by Ms. Wexton The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 printed in part B of House Report 116-302.
