It also includes a Good Samaritan Law that would provide that anyone who, in good faith, provides, administers or utilizes fentanyl test strips or fentanyl drug testing equipment shall not be subject to any criminal or civil liability or any professional disciplinary action.

How are “Charlie and the House legislation that would expand current law by including day habilitation programs contracted by MassHealth in the existing statewide registry that prevents individuals with substantiated abuse allegations from being hired in care positions. Supporters said the bill would expand “Nicky’s Law” which was proposed by Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury) and signed into law in 2020 by former Gov. Baker. Nicky’s Law, established a registry of care providers found guilty of registrable abuse after Nicky Chan, a young man with a disability, was abused by an employee at a day program he attended. “Because no registry existed, this employee, and the witness who never reported the abuse, were able to find employment at another agency,” said Moore. “This new bill will ensure no individual with a disability will be subject to abuse while receiving services from a MassHealth day habilitation program.” “Placing your trust in a caretaker to ensure the safety and wellbeing of a child, parent, family member, or loved one with a disability is hard,” continued Moore. “When that trust is violated, it can feel like the ultimate betrayal of not only the caretaker who did it, but also the system that alADDRESS 6 Laurel St CITY Saugus the Chocolate Factory” and “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” related? 15.

Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester), Senate Chair of the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “By expanding these safeguards to include day habilitation programs, we are making sure that no one falls through the cracks.” $9 MILLION IN LITERACY LAUNCH GRANTS - Gov. Healey announced that the state is awarding over $9 million in Partnership for Reading Success - Massachusetts (PRISM) continuation grants to 15 school districts as part of her Literacy Launch initiative. These grants enable districts to implement high-quality, evidence-based reading instruction through literacy materials, technical support, coaching and professional development. “Literacy Launch is a historic investment in early literacy for our students,” said Healey. “These continuation grants represent our commitment to make sure all of our students can read and read well.” “Ensuring every student has access to high-quality, evidence-based instruction in early literacy is essential for Massachusetts families,” said Lt. Gov.
