New Safe Harbor Bills Filed for 2023-2024 Legislative Session

It’s a victory for those of us wishing to keep health freedom strong in Massachusetts, offering the widest variety of healthcare choice by protecting unlicensed holistic practitioners and our right to access them.

Both HD.953 and SD.1365 — An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services — have been filed for the new legislative session, and are again on their way to gaining attention, support and ultimately passage!

HD.953 was filed by Rep Brian W. Murphy, and SD.1365 was once again filed by Sen. Nick Collins. Thank you to these legislative leaders on this cause.

Dear Sen/Rep     ,

I am contacting you in a request for signing on as a co-sponsor to HD.953 and SD.1365 — An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services.

Healthcare freedom and choice is very important to me. This bill will protect the thousands of unlicensed healthcare practitioners whose services have become essential to the continued wellbeing of millions of Baystate residents who rely on and enjoy easy, affordable access to the services of these unlicensed practitioners. This safe harbor bill gives them the legal protection to continue providing their healthcare services in Massachusetts.

Please let me know if I can have members of Health Freedom Action Massachusetts contact you further with details about the bill to help you with your decision. Thank you.

Sincerely,
