Massachusetts S163 aims to protect safety net access for residents by ensuring community service offices are not closed or relocated without proper.
Massachusetts S163 requires the Department of Children, Families, and Persons with Disabilities to notify local legislators and regional legal services at least 120 days before closing or relocating a community service office. The notification must include details such as the proposed location, office hours, and accessibility for various groups. Additionally, the department must conduct surveys in recipients' primary language to assess the impact on low-income households, including transportation options and community services.
