+1 State Legislature Extends its Session

Where: Massachusetts

Why is the Massachusetts Legislature extending its session? Unfinished Business

What unfinished business is on its agenda:

• COVID related property issues like evictions
• COVID related public education funding
• Black Lives Matter, indigenous, and people of color related legislation

What did legislative leaders say?

• Extending the legislative session “because the pandemic “does not abide deadlines.””
• “Leadership of both branches have publicly stated their commitment to combating racism and listening to those most impacted by it. That commitment has yet to be realized”
