Bill overview
This bill, S.1120, aimed to establish a ‘bill of rights’ specifically for individuals experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. The proposed legislation would outline certain protections and rights for this vulnerable population, focusing on issues like access to services, fair treatment, and dignity. Despite initial progress, the bill ultimately failed to pass the legislature. Similar attempts to enact a bill of rights for the homeless have been proposed in the past.
