Legislation Is Part Of Our Mission

Advocating at the state level is a cornerstone of The Team Shawnie Advocacy Group’s mission. Because the Massachusetts legislature follows a two-year cycle, our team is continuously involved at every stage of the process. From helping shape the initial language of proposed bills to pushing for their passage into law, we work tirelessly to ensure that the voices and needs of individuals with disabilities and their families are represented. Our ongoing legislative efforts help drive meaningful policy changes that improve lives across the Commonwealth.

Here is a list of bills that are currently being discussed at the State level. Click on the links to stay up to date with their development:
