An Act relative to removing the term hearing impaired from the general laws

This bill directs the Massachusetts legislature to update state laws by replacing the term "hearing impaired" with "deaf or hard of hearing" in various statutes. The primary mechanism involves amending specific sections across multiple chapters of the General Laws to reflect this terminology change. These revisions affect official state records and legal definitions related to individuals with hearing disabilities. The change aims to align the state's language with current preferences for describing people with hearing loss.
