#Frequently Asked Questions about the Healthy Workplace Bill

The HWB is advanced only by State Coordinators authorized by the Healthy Workplace Campaign. It is a matter of quality control. We speak nationally with a single voice, tailored to local lawmakers. Coordinators are educated and prepared to mobilize Citizen Lobbyists and to approach lawmakers with the best arguments for adopting the legislation.

We don't want individuals with different (often very personal) motives attempting to represent thousands or millions of their fellow state residents without the expertise Coordinators bring to the task. Coordinators give lawmakers the same text written by Suffolk University Law Professor, David Yamada, but lawmakers do make changes as they wish. Further, bills are revised (amended) in committees. Once bills are introduced, they can be found at the public legislatures' websites for review.

If you are interested in getting legislation passed in your state please consider becoming a State Coordinator.
