PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill designating the last day of February as rare disease day in Massachusetts in order to “increase public awareness of rare diseases which affect millions of Americans resulting in special challenges encountered by patients and their families as well as the impact upon medical professionals, researchers, educators and others who serve the rare disease community.” Supporters said the legislation will call attention to the public health issues associated with rare diseases. They noted that research can lead to an increased understanding of diseases, the development of innovative treatments and in some cases, a cure. Patients and families living with rare diseases face many challenges such as fi nding accessible medical care and affordable treatments. “I fi led this bill in support of constituents in my district and all people who are currently suffering with a rare disease,” said sponsor Rep. Brian Ashe (DLongmeadow). “Raising public awareness is critical to increasing funding for research, providing patients with additional resources, and hopefully resulting in a cure. I am thrilled this legislation has been engrossed by the House and I am hopeful the Senate will do the same and the governor will sign it into law.” DESIGNATING JULY 8 AS MASSACHUSETTS EMANCIPATION DAY (H 3117) – The Senate approved a measure, sponsored by Rep. Michelle Ciccolo (D-Lexington), designating July 8 as Massachusetts Emancipation Day also to be known as Quock Walker Day, in recognition of the court ruling that rendered slavery unconstitutional in the commonwealth. Walker, born to enslaved Black parents in Massachusetts, was the driving force behind this ruling. Supporters explained that Walker, who was born to enslaved Black parents in the Bay State, self-emancipated at 28 years old. When his former enslaver found him, Walker sued for his freedom, and on July 8th, the Massachusetts Supreme Court found that Walker was a free man. This critical decision served as the precedent that ended slavery in the state on constitutional grounds and led to Massachusetts becoming the fi rst state in the nation to abolish slavery. “The inspiration for this bill comes from Sean Osborn, a Lexington resident and historian who founded the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington,” said Rep. Ciccolo. “I am looking forward to annually commemorating Quock Walker’s signifi - cant place in our state’s history.” The House has already approved the bill. Only fi nal House and Senate action are required prior to the proposal going the Gov. Baker.

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 fi led. 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 immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 17-21, the House met for a total of 25 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 43 minutes. Mon.
