Mass. SDM Bill Passes First Legislative Hurdle

We are excited to report that the Massachusetts SDM legislation has passed favorably out of the Joint Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.

CPR is grateful for the leadership of our bill sponsors Senator Joan LovelyRepresentative Aaron Vega, and Representative Paul Tucker; Chairwoman Khan; Chairwoman Chang-Diaz; and members of the committee who passed the bill unanimously. We will continue to advocate for the bill when it moves to the next phase of the legislative process and look forward to working with our coalition on this effort.

Thank you to the members of the Massachusetts Advocates for Supported Decision-Making Coalition for their support and advocacy.
