Access Massachusetts

H.2294/S.1440 were heard by the Joint Committee on Public Health on May 10, 2021. The Committee reported favorably, and the bills were referred to the House Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling, and then to the House Committee on Third Reading. H.2294/ - An Act granting equal access to original birth certificates to all persons born in Massachusetts, was passed by the House to be engrossed on Nov. 4, 2021. Now we are awaiting a positive report by the Senate Committee on Rules. We have created a petition which will be delivered to the Senate leadership, the Rules Committee, and each MA Senator to take action on our bills. Please use this link to sign the petition to the MA Senate to pass H.2294/S.1440 as soon as possible. https://forms.gle/C2gm7qZuqQYgqpbV8 Please share widely. We are aiming to collect at least 2000 signatures by April 25.
