Our fight for democratic integrity on Beacon Hill has become more dire since our founding in 2019. Last session, we saw the Senate strip away term limits for their president, the House reject a measure to make their committee votes public without a recorded vote, and Governor Healey reject a slew of public records requests, breaking her campaign promise to abide by public records law. That's why we're taking our fight beyond just the session rules. 

Enter: The Sunlight Act (SD.467)!

Lead sponsored by transparency champion Senator Jamie Eldridge, this comprehensive legislation includes several transparency reforms, including requiring all recorded committee votes to be posted on the Legislature's website, requiring that committee hearings be scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance, making written testimony submitted to committees publicly available, and subjecting the Governor's Office to the state's public records law.

Email your senator today to ask them to co-sponsor the Sunlight Act and urge them to bring it to a vote this session!
