HD 4304 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to provide sunlight to state government

HD 4304 requires legislative committees to publicly share testimony submission details (email and physical addresses) at least 2 weeks before hearings and make submitted testimony available to the public upon request (with redactions for sensitive information). It also mandates that committee voting records be posted online within 48 hours of the vote, including during session wrap-up periods. The bill extends similar transparency rules to the governor's office, requiring records created after January 5, 2026, to be publicly accessible. These provisions directly affect legislative committees, clerks' offices, and the governor's office by increasing public access to testimony and voting data.
