An Act recognizing EMS as a disease dangerous to the public health, requiring inclusion in MAVEN, establishing the Massachusetts EMS registry and requiring biennial reporting as part of population health trends
This bill classifies Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) as a disease dangerous to public health in Massachusetts, requiring its inclusion in the state's disease surveillance system (MAVEN) and environmental exposure tracking. It mandates the creation of an EMS disease registry to collect data on incidence and prevalence, with a 10-member advisory committee (including patients, doctors, and researchers) to guide its development and ensure privacy. The bill requires health officials to distribute educational materials based on international guidelines and include EMS in biennial public health reports. It directly affects healthcare providers, public health agencies, and individuals experiencing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or skin issues linked to electromagnetic field exposure.
