Public Hearing Thursday, May 4,
9 a.m - 1 p.m. ET
Please join us to testify and or/send in a written statement of support for House Bill 2158. This requires the Department of Public Health to add electromagnetic sensitivity (EMS) to the list of diseases dangerous to the public health. With EMS data input
by health care practitioners, the Commonwealth
can make better public
safety decisions.
We hope to build the public record on this bill with facts from
citizens, scientists, doctors, nurses, public servants
and other professionals witnessing the fallout
from today's
electropollution.
Here are the details, thanks for testifying!
- Massachusetts H.2158 An Act recognizing EMS as a disease dangerous to the public health, requiring inclusion in MAVEN, establishing the Massachusetts EMS
registry and requiring biennial reporting as part of population health trends is sponsored by Representatives Tricia Farley-Bouvier, Vanna Howard and Mary S. Keefe and assigned to the Joint Committee on Public Health.
- Citizens and EMF experts are encouraged to send in testimony, testify live
via Zoom or in person. You needn't be from Massachusetts. Those testifying on Thursday must register by 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 2.
- Please be respectful of the committee's time. They have many bills to get through in this hearing. Please write out spoken testimony and practice it aloud several times to be sure you do not exceed three minutes.
- Your own words are most powerful. Share your experience and any other facts you want them to know. Feel free to gather inspiration from the Resources page at Massachusetts for Safe Technology.
