-    "disclosure": "Today, there is no legal obligation for the MA legislature (formally known as “The General Court”) to disclose what written testimony they receive and, in practice, such disclosure very rarely happens. As a result, it can be difficult to understand what communications and perspectives are informing our legislators' decisions. Often, even members of the legislature cannot easily access the public testimony given on a bill.",

Prior to a <a href="https://malegislature.gov/PressRoom/Detail?pressReleaseId=214">rules change</a> in June, 2025, the MA legislature (formally known as “The General Court”) had no policy or obligation to disclose the written testimony they received to the public. As a result, it has been difficult to understand what communications and perspectives are informing our legislators' decisions. Often, even members of the legislature have not been able to easily access the public testimony given on a bill.",

MAPLE also assists in identifying the appropriate legislative recipients for your testimony and prepares a ready-to-send email on your behalf.",
