Bill Summary
Relative to strengthening the local and regional public health system
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen the local and regional public health system in Massachusetts. It establishes a state action program to support boards of health and regional health districts in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of local public health service delivery, including communicable disease control, chronic disease prevention, environmental health, and maternal and child health services. The bill provides funding and technical assistance for regional collaboration and capacity building, and requires the Department of Public Health to develop minimum standards for foundational public health services and workforce standards. The special commission on local and regional public health is also revived and continued to provide recommendations on these efforts.
