Governor Healey's Ceremonial Bill Signing to rename Rehabilitation Commission
Yesterday, I attended Governor Healey's Ceremonial Bill
Signing of H.4528, An Act to rename the Massachusetts Rehabilitation
Commission, MassAbility which renames the Massachusetts Rehabilitation
Commission (MRC) to MassAbility, a change that will define the agency’s role in
supporting residents with disabilities to live independently.
The legislation also removes offensive terminology in the
Massachusetts General Laws referring to people with disabilities in sections of
the law that pertain to MassAbility.
