I tried to find information on these bills, but the mass.gov website is confusing. One of the original bills from last year was 3448, and the text of that bill is not on line any longer because it was killed last year. I think it is a concern that the text of these 3 bills is still on their website, but I couldn't seem to find a date or any other information saying they were going to be discussed in June as Sharon mentioned. http://www.mass.gov/legis/#hear_mark Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale H.
