Tarrant County reports first two cases of measles amid statewide Texas outbreak
Officials with the Tarrant County Public Health Department reported the county's first two cases of measles on Friday. The new cases come amid a statewide outbreak that has sickened almost 700 people since January, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Broad St., between 8 p.m. on Tuesday April 29 and 3 a.m. on Wednesday April 30, according to the county's statement. Tarrant County Public Health officials are working to determine any other locations the patients may have visited, according to the statement. Other people who were at the Mansfield emergency room during the same time as the infected residents, especially those who are unvaccinated, pregnant or immunocompromised should monitor for symptoms until May 20, officials said. Earlier this week, the Denton County Public Health Department announced that a sick resident visited Texas Live! and Globe Life Field in Arlington while contagious. Collin County health officials also reported a new case of the measles virus on Friday.

Some criminals barred from shelter system under new regulations
BOSTON (WWLP) – Governor Healey rolled out regulations tightening eligibility for shelter that will bar some people with criminal convictions from utilizing the emergency housing system. Last month, the legislature passed a series of regulations, alongside $425 million in supplemental funding for shelters. Healey's new regulations execute the policies laid out in the bill. Committee makes plans for joint rules compromise Included among new rules, all adults must agree to a Criminal Offender Record Information, or CORI check, or be automatically ineligible for shelter. Those with serious convictions, including murder, rape and sexual assault, firearms felonies or misdemeanors in the past six years, and drug trafficking in the past three years, will also be ineligible for shelter. While the governor said Massachusetts is taking necessary steps to mitigate costs for Massachusetts residents, she maintains that the migrant crisis is a federal issue. 'Massachusetts is managing this federal problem, but Congress needs to act on meaningful immigration reform instead of making Massachusetts taxpayers foot the bill for their failures,' Healey said. State House Republicans voted against this package of regulations, saying CORI checks are not enough. These regulations will begin to take effect at a time when about three-quarters of the families seeking shelter system assistance are long-time Massachusetts residents.

Mass. launches criminal record checks for shelter seekers
BOSTON — All adults seeking shelter in the state's emergency assistance program must receive a criminal background check before accessing benefits under new action by the Healey administration, which also lowered the system's maximum capacity. Gov. Maura Healey's office on Friday rolled out regulations that execute many of the reforms in a shelter funding and safety bill she signed last month, including a requirement for adult shelter applicants to disclose their criminal histories and agree to a Criminal Offender Record Information, or CORI, check. Effective Friday, an applicant who refuses a CORI check will be ineligible for emergency assistance shelter. The regulations also outline more than a dozen criminal convictions and charges that would disqualify shelter seekers, including murder, rape and sexual assault, firearms felonies or misdemeanors in the past six years, and drug trafficking in the past three years. "These changes will empower our team to keep families, staff and communities safe by enhancing our criminal background check process and disqualifying anyone who has been convicted of a serious crime," Healey said of the new regulations. "Additionally, we are making real progress when it comes to lowering the cost of this system to taxpayers — and we are on track to hit all of our goals by the end of the year. Massachusetts is managing this federal problem, but Congress needs to act on meaningful immigration reform instead of making Massachusetts taxpayers foot the bill for their failures." Applicants must verify their identities and familial relationships before being placed into the state-funded shelter system, Healey's office said. Republicans voted against the bill before it landed on Healey's desk, arguing that Massachusetts CORI checks are not enough because they would not capture crimes committed in other states or countries. The regulations landed about two weeks after Healey signed into law a bill that simultaneously provided the cash-strapped system with another $425 million to keep it afloat through June and implemented a range of temporary and permanent reforms, including a six-month limit on shelter stays. Healey's office on Friday also announced changes to its prior emergency declaration "to reflect that the EA system's capacity is now at 5,800 families." The governor previously set a cap of 7,500 families, and in recent months the caseload has fallen to about 5,800, her office said. With more families exiting the system, Healey's office said the administration is "on track to reduce caseload to 4,000 families and close all hotel shelters by the end of the year." The mix of shelter seekers has shifted. About 75% of families seeking services are long-term Massachusetts families, a change from earlier in the crisis when about half were newly arriving migrants.
