0020| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that while the multi-agency task
|
0021| force continues its deliberations on timely payments, discussion
|
0022| also continues to investigate the state's ability to make
|
0023| partial payments when a provider billing is in question, so that
|
0024| services may continue to clients without provider delays; and
|
0025| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a report of the findings of the
