Massachusetts State House 10th Essex District (unopposed)

“This legislation affirms that due process is not a courtesy extended at the government’s discretion, it is a constitutional right. Today is the culmination of months of work by the MA Black and Latino Caucus in partnership with a House leadership team that has centered the voices of our communities every step of the way.” (Massachusetts Legislature Press Room (malegislature.gov))

“Every day frontline health care workers are asked to do their jobs under the threat of violence. This bill makes it clear that protecting our health care workers is a matter of public safety and an urgent responsibility. By requiring health care employers to assess risks, train staff, report incidents, and respond to violence with real accountability, we are taking long overdue steps to ensure that no worker stands alone in harm’s way.” (Massachusetts Legislature Press Room (malegislature.gov))
