MCSW’s Legislative Activity

The Commission works closely with its appointing authorities and state legislators, particularly the Massachusetts Women’s Legislative Caucus, to promote and pass legislation that positively impacts women and families of the Commonwealth. The Commission’s legislative activity is coordinated through the Legislative Committee, which examines and recommends legislation to the full Commission for endorsement. When deciding whether to endorse a piece of legislation, the Legislative Committee carefully examines every facet and potential outcome of a bill and considers all of the implications it may have on the lives of Massachusetts women and girls.

Each legislative session, the MCSW releases the Platform for Political Action, a comprehensive report that outlines the framework by which the Commission prioritizes legislative action. The Platform for Political Action also highlights the current legislative agenda, provides a historical overview of past legislative activity, and monitors the budgetary activity of essential state programs.
