The Massachusetts State House Press Association has submitted a list of accredited legislative reporters to the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, and the Sergeant-at-Arms, as required by Joint Rule 32. This rule mandates that the Massachusetts State House Press Association and the State House Broadcasters Association provide a list of their legislative reporters within ten days of the General Court convening. Notably, the State House Broadcasters Association merged with the Massachusetts State House Press Association in 2018, and the combined organization now operates under the latter's name.
The letter also highlights the recent election of officers for the Massachusetts State House Press Association, which took place during their annual meeting on December 6, 2024. The elected officers include Katie Lannan as President, Sam Doran as Secretary, and Gintautas Dumcius as Treasurer, along with several Executive Committee members. The Association commits to keeping the legislative leadership updated on any changes to the list of accredited reporters throughout the year.
