Bill overview
This bill aimed to establish that access to safe drinking water is a prerequisite for state funding eligibility in Massachusetts. It sought to ensure that state funds would not be awarded to entities – such as schools or municipalities – that cannot demonstrate they provide safe drinking water to their constituents. The bill was ultimately unsuccessful and failed to pass both the House and Senate. Similar legislation has been proposed in the past.
