Bill Summary
Relative to accelerating improvements to the local and regional public health system to address disparities in the delivery of public health services
AI Summary
This bill aims to accelerate improvements to the local and regional public health system in Massachusetts to address disparities in the delivery of public health services. It establishes a State Action for Public Health Excellence (SAPHE) program to provide all residents with foundational public health services, including services to further racial and health equity. The bill sets standards for foundational public health services, requires boards of health to comply with these standards, and provides funding and technical assistance to support their implementation. It also calls for increased standardization and integration of public health reporting and data systems. The bill requires public hearings and a report on the implementation plan and cost analysis, and convenes the Special Commission on Local and Regional Public Health to review the changes.
