We are so proud to be a part of supporting the passing of this important law. We are thankful for our partners and advocates across the state.
To learn more about Masshcusetts Blue Envelope law you can read here:
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/blue-envelope-program

Northeast Arc's President and CEO, Jo Ann Simons, was honored to join Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey for the signing of the Blue Envelope Law. Simons is standing alongside Healey and Emily White, Director of the Early Intervention Division at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

The Blue Envelope Program allows drivers and passengers with autism to voluntarily carry a distinctive envelope containing essential documents and information that can assist officers during an interaction. The envelope alerts officers that an individual may communicate, process information, or respond differently in stressful situations, helping foster safer and more effective engagement.

We want to thank our partners at the The Arc of Massachusetts for all their work in making this program a reality!
