Massachusetts Safe Harbor Bill

Great news–Massachusetts has reintroduced a bill to protect access to complementary and alternative health care practitioners!   H2244/S1329, An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services.

Please thank the sponsors Rep. Brian W. Murphy and Sen. Nick Collins. Please ask your own legislators to sign on as a cosponsor! The more support the bill has early on, the easier it will be to get it scheduled for a hearing once committee assignments are announced.

H2244 and S1329, An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services offer a means of providing legal protection for unlicensed holistic practitioners so they can continue providing their essential services in the state just as they always have, giving consumers the widest choice of practitioners possible.

If passed, Massachusetts would join eleven other states in protecting the tens of thousands of dedicated complementary and alternative practitioners such as herbalists, homeopaths, traditional naturopaths, Ayurveda practitioners, energy healers, wellness consultants, and many others who provide the care we need.

Take Action to send a letter to your legislators asking them to cosponsor these bills and protect access to complementary and alternative health care practitioners in Massachusetts.
