MASS Board Member Kim Plaut was recently featured in an article by Katie Lannan for 22 News about the Supported Decision Making bill currently making its way through the Massachusetts State House.

Lannan writes:

“BOSTON (SHNS) – Pitching a legislative committee on a bill that would provide a framework for individuals with disabilities and elders to make their own decisions with the aid of people they trust, advocates described the planned arrangement as a process not that different from the way lawmakers would work together to consider their bill.

On November 22, 2021 self-advocates Kim Plaut, Francesco Hladysz, and Anne Fracht testified virtually at the Massachusetts State House in regards to bill H.272 An Act Relative to Supported Decision Making sponsored by Rep. Paul F. Tucker.
