AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 32A of the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Section 2(b), to expand eligibility for health insurance. It adds a provision allowing individuals employed by private human service providers, who deliver human and social services under contracts with departments within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, to access health insurance. This change aims to provide health insurance access to a group of workers who may not have previously qualified, offering them greater financial security and access to healthcare.
