Summary: The Senate Health and Long-Term Care Committee held its final regularly scheduled meeting of the 2026 session and moved into executive session to consider a slate of bills. Staff briefed members on measures dealing with the dietician licensure compact, ambulance transport staffing, substance use disorder monitoring for nursing assistants, hospital inspections, music therapy licensure exemptions, nursing regulation, EMT recertification, radiologic technologist supervision, continuing care retirement communities, and veterinarian-client-patient relationships. Several amendments were discussed, including changes to ambulance transport coordination requirements, clarifications to billing statements for motor vehicle accident ambulance bills, oversight language for continuing care retirement communities, and a striking amendment limiting commercial breeding language to livestock and clarifying veterinary prescription drug use. The committee adopted the amendments it considered and voted to give due pass recommendations to the bills before it. Bills advanced included Substitute House Bill 2088, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2110 as amended, House Bill 2340, Substitute House Bill 2577, Substitute House Bill 2363, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1187 as amended, Substitute House Bill 2339, House Bill 2540, House Bill 2113, Second Substitute House Bill 2384 as amended, and Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2247 as amended. Each bill was sent to the Rules Committee, and the committee reported the measures as passed subject to signatures. The chair also briefly explained the livestock-related intent of the amendment to the veterinary bill in response to a question about puppy mills. At the end of the meeting, the chair thanked committee staff and members for their work during the session, noted that interim work would begin in a few weeks, and moved to adjourn. The committee then adjourned.

Summary: The Joint Committee on the Judiciary held a late-file hearing on several bills. Early testimony focused on H.4876, a bill to strengthen supports for survivors of abuse, including limits on abusers’ legal standing after death, survivor notification when an abuser dies, expanded coercive control definitions, stronger privacy protections, and survivor education and resource programs. A representative testified on behalf of a constituent who could not appear publicly, describing how a lifetime restraining order and a family death exposed gaps in current law and arguing that an abuser should not be treated as next of kin for legal purposes. The committee also heard H.5111, which would strengthen the Massachusetts Antitrust Act. Representative sponsors and the Attorney General’s antitrust chief said the bill would let the state enforce antitrust law even when federal authorities are involved, expand jurisdiction over multistate conduct affecting Massachusetts, increase penalties, clarify that invitations to conspire are violations, codify labor-market protections, remove limits affecting some housing transactions, and extend the statute of limitations. Senators and the AG’s office said the bill is needed because federal enforcement is weakening. The committee also took testimony on S.2976, a related constitutional-rights bill creating a state cause of action for violations by federal officers; supporters said it would fill a gap in remedies and preserve qualified immunity defenses. Other bills drew support from advocacy groups and individuals. H.4783, which would reaffirm the rights of people experiencing homelessness, was backed by the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless as a response to encampment bans and criminalization of basic survival activities. H.4826, dealing with condominium owners’ rights, drew testimony that Chapter 183A is outdated and leaves owners with too little access to information and too few nonjudicial remedies, with examples of unresolved water and repair problems in condo communities. H.5244, to repeal archaic laws criminalizing pregnancy, was supported by reproductive justice advocates who said the remaining statute is being used to punish pregnancy loss and should be repealed. A large portion of the hearing was devoted to H.5116, naming the Dorchester Division of the Boston Municipal Court the Judge Leslie E. Harris Courthouse. Rep. Chris Worrell, Senators Collins and Miranda, District Attorney Kevin Hayden, community leaders, legal professionals, and members of Judge Harris’s family described him as a compassionate, community-rooted jurist and mentor who advanced second chances, diversity, and youth support. No votes were taken during the hearing; the chairs repeatedly invited written testimony and noted the committee’s reporting deadline for House bills.
