Laws Mean to Health and Human Services?

How can Health and Human Services agencies best license, regulate, and monitor the use of legalized cannabis in their states?

If any question exemplifies the ever-changing HHS landscape, it’s this one, as – in a matter of a few short years – 33 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana, and 10 states and DC have legalized recreational use of cannabis. These decisions are likely to have profound implications on human services delivery affecting child support, public assistance and child protective services. As such, there is growing interest in states on how to address these issues as more states legalize cannabis in one form or another.

It’s also the kind of issue that CompTIA’s Human Services Information Technology Advisory Group’s Content and Issues Committee was built for.

For 25 years, the Human Services Information Technology Advisory Group (HSITAG) has been identifying and monitoring critical HHS issues, including reaching out to state and federal officials, with a particular focus on how technology systems and automation could be used to help improve the lives of HHS professionals and the constituencies they serve. Today, one of the means by which HSITAG continues to examine current topics is through its Content and Issues Committee, which scans the HHS landscape for issues or projects that they believe HSITAG should be involved with and working on.

The purpose of the Committee is to identify legislation, regulations, policy and/or program issues at the federal or state levels that could have an impact on program or technology/system issues affecting health and human services programs. When issues are identified that could have an impact on the broader HSITAG membership, the Committee makes recommendations to the HSITAG Executive Council as to whether workgroups should further research, study, and analyze them and determine a course of action.
