On Tuesday, June 6, 2023, there will be a public hearing held by the Joint Committee on Public Health at Gardner Auditorium in the Massachusetts State House.

The hearing, scheduled from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, will focus on two significant MCFL bills.

We urge your support for these bills and invite you to provide testimony, either in person or by submitting a written testimony.

The two bills under consideration are as follows:

• H.2181 - An Act protecting the health of the mother and a born alive fetus after the second trimester (also known as An Act relative to protecting women's health/preserving maternal and unborn child life).
  
  
• H.2277 - An Act relative to victims of Down syndrome.

If you plan to submit written testimony you may do so before or after the hearing. You can use our Legislative Action Center to submit your written testimony using the following links:
