Ballot Questions

Question 1: Availability of Motor Vehicle Repair Information: If approved, this measure would require all car manufacturers to provide—on an equitable fair-market value subscription basis—all diagnostic and repair information for model years beginning in 2015 to owners or an owner's designated in-state independent repair facility (not affiliated with a manufacturer or its authorized dealers). The measure would also make available for purchase, information for model years 2002 through 2014.

Question 2: Prescribing Medication to End Life: If approved, this measure "would allow a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at a terminally ill patient's request, to end that patient's life." The act would require that patients are mentally capable of making this decision and orally communicate it to a doctor on two occasions 15 days apart. Participation by a doctor or health care facility would be voluntary.

Question 3: Medical Use of Marijuana: This law "would eliminate state criminal and civil penalties for the medical use of marijuana by qualifying patients." It would also allow patients to possess a 60-day supply of marijuana and would establish at least one in each county but no more than 35 "treatment centers" throughout the state in 2013.
