Bill > S784

This bill would create a bill of rights for people experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: ensuring people experiencing homelessness have the right to move freely in public spaces, receive equal treatment from state and local agencies, not face discrimination in employment, access emergency medical care, vote and receive necessary documentation, have their personal records and information protected, and have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their personal property. The bill specifies that these rights are intended to guide the actions of the state and local agencies, but do not create a private right of action.
