It prohibits curricula that are not evidence-based and curricula that rely on implicit or incidental word reading strategies. Another provision formalizes dyslexia and literacy screening requirements by requiring schools to develop protocols for identifying potential neurological learning disabilities, including dyslexia, and to report their screening practices annually. “Massachusetts is the best state in the nation for education, but we know there is a lot more that needs to be done, especially when it comes to early literacy,” said Healey. “Helping students learn to read is one of the most important things we can do to set them up for success. This legislation builds on the work we’ve been doing through Literacy Launch and high-dosage tutoring by giving schools and educators the tools they need to support every student.” BUYER2 Moynihan, Jennifer M Le, Anh Nguyen, Hoa Thi SELLER1 Downey, Kevin J 77-77A Swan LLC Vanson, William Valeri, Silvana Krueger, Jonathan “Reading opens doors,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “Whether it’s succeeding in school, pursuing higher education or building a career, strong literacy skills create opportunities that last a lifetime. This legislation will help more students build those skills by giving educators additional tools to identify challenges early and provide support when it’s needed most.” “This is a pivotal moment for children across our state as the governor signs this critical legislation I filed to ensure every student gains essential literacy skills,” said sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “We all recognize that teaching our kids to read and write is one of the most fundamental responsibilities we have, yet far too many students are still falling short of basic literacy benchmarks. As cochair of the conference committee, I was proud to collaborate with many educators to craft evidence-based policies that will strengthen early literacy instruction and set our students on a path to lifelong success.” CHANGE “HEARING IMPAIRED” TO “DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING” (S 3142) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would strike outdated language from state laws that refer to people who are deaf or hard of hearing as being “hearing impaired.” The legislation replaces the term “hearing impaired” with the phrase “deaf or hard of hearing.” Nguyen, Cynthia Boudreau, Carla Valeri Krueger, Meredith “Words shape how we see one another, and our laws are no exception,” said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “This bill takes a simple but important step toward ensuring that the words we use reflect respect, accuracy and the preferences of the communities they describe. I’m proud the Senate is taking decisive action to help modernize our statutes and affirm the dignity of deaf and hard of hearing individuals across Massachusetts, and I’m grateful to the students of Newton’s CAPS Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program for bringing this issue to my attention.” “Members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community have been advocating for this change for years, and they made a compelling case that the language currently found in our laws no longer reflects the people it is meant to describe,” said Sen. Nick Collins (D-South Boston), Senate chair of the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. “This legislation makes a commonsense update to our statutes and reflects the respect that community deserves. Our laws should evolve alongside the people they serve, and it is important that the language we use reflects both the dignity of all residents and the commonwealth’s commitment to treating every person with respect.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immeDATE 06.12.26 06.08.26 06.11.26 06.12.26 06.12.26 PRICE 850000 1340000 750000 950000 1350000 diately preceding the end of an annual session.
