Massachusetts to Conform to Cage-Free Housing Standard

 

Bill S2603 has been signed into law, reversing the 1.5 square foot per hen space requirement incorporated in the Question#3 Ballot. The Bay State will now conform to the 1.0 square foot standard as promoted by the UEP and incorporated in the regulations imposed by other states.

 

The 11th-hour action by the state Senate avoided a disruption in availability of eggs in Massachusetts that would have occurred on January 1st 2022 without an override of the Ballot by the Legislature.
