The Ways and Means committees focus on financial matters -- after a committee has judged a bill positively on its merits, W&M has to decide whether the Commonwealth can afford it. (None of our bills are expected to actually have any substantial fiscal impact, but we have to communicate that clearly!).  Although this is nominally a joint committee, the two sides aren't necessarily coordinated, so this membership list is organized separately. Again, scroll down to see if the town you live in is listed -- if it's blue, your legislator is on the committee, if it's purple and indented, it depends where in your town you live -- check here to find your legislator's names and see if they match.
Note that some of the members here are also on the Joint Committee on Public Health. (Sen. Robyn Kennedy voted in favor of PsyPact, Sen. Kelly Dooner abstained; Rep. Shirley Arriaga, Rep. Sally Kerans, Rep. Samantha Montaño, and Rep. Priscila S. Sousa all voted in favor). And Rep. Lindsay N. Sabadosa sponsored the bill (yay!). Make sure to say thank you! (and ask if they have any other questions or concerns).
The Senate bill (S.1487) has been sent to W&M. The House bill (H.2528) has been sent to Health Care Financing. Â
