The law was inspired by the tragic death of Laura Beth Levis, a 34-year-old woman who died of an asthma attack just steps from a Somerville emergency-room door in 2016.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed the bill late last night, after the State Senate approved the bill in October 2020. Representative Christine Barber (D-Somerville) and Senator Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville) were the bill’s lead sponsors.
