All the talk on Beacon Hill has been about the budget, but today some other matters get their day, as three committees hold hearings on new bills.
First up is Public Health, at 10:00. Initial steps on regionalization of public health services will be discussed, among other things.
At 10:30 Children and Families looks at a slate of proposals, mostly concerning the beleaguered Department of Social Services.
And at 1:30, Financial Services hears testimony on insurance-regulation bills, mostly concerning the always-contentious realm of automobile coverage.
The list of bills is
here, although to read the texts you'll have to enter the bill numbers at the
Senate or
House search engines.
Tomorrow's hearings include Public Service on state employee retiree benefits, and Veterans and Federal Affairs on the Department of Veterans Services.
