Superintendent Dr. Dianne Kelly introduced Bianca Quirk, the new principal of the Paul Revere School. “As I am contemplating my retirement one year from now, it brings me great joy to see a former student here taking a new leadership role as principal of the Paul Revere School,†said Kelly, adding that Quirk has long been an asset to the district as a student, a teacher and an administrator. Quirk, a graduate of Revere High’s class of 1994, mentioned that she began teaching at the McKinley School in 1998. “For a building that didn’t have a lot of amenities, it had a lot of heart,†said Quirk, adding that her experience at McKinley shaped who she became as an educator. Quirk said her sisters graduat“WE’RE STILL HERE!†Since 1947 MALDEN AUTO BODY Book online: Maldenauto.com 49 Robin St., Everett, MA 617-389-3030 * Maldenab@yahoo.com Over 79 years of exceptional service! Massone Family Owned & Operated ed from Revere High and their parents before them. She said serving the community was a privilege. Quirk has served as assistant principal at Paul Revere for the past 12 years. “It’s my home away from home, I love that school,†she told the committee. New Patriot Mascot ning up and down the sidelines in that hat,†said School Committee Chairman Mayor Patrick Keefe. Voting at schools S chool offi cials and members of the election commission met to work out a plan for voting at the high school in the upcoming primary election. Kelly said that for primary A thletics Director Frank Shea presented the new mascot developed by a committee of teachers, coaches and students over the past year. Shea said it took five meetings and much of the heavy lifting was done by art student Solvenita Va. The new mascot was a result of physical education teacher Keith Correa, who felt the district needed one unifying mascot or logo rather than the three or four mascots being used now. In the fi nal version of the mascot, the map of Massachusetts includes a star where Revere is located. “I’m looking forward to seeing the physical mascot runelections typically 7,000 voters turn out and most vote before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. Kelly said closing school for the primary would tack on an extra day at the end of the year and disrupt the school closing schedule. “Schools have been open for the 32 years I’ve been here,†said Kelly, suggesting that elections and school days work together. There have been some modifications about where in the building voters cast ballots and buses have been moved to open up parking for voters. School will be closed for the general election in November, which will be a professional development day for teachers. Policies and Procedures T he committee voted to accept the recommendations C of the Policies and Procedures subcommittee for a list of policies. There were no signifi cant changes and most of the recommendations from the subcommittee follow recommendations from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees. The one exception was the electronic device (or cell phone) policy, which is the policy that’s in place. The subcommittee recommended that it be included in the district’s policy manual. Committee member Vanessa Biasella disagreed with the policy’s enforcement that has teachers confi scating cell phones from students. Biasella urged that it be changed to administrators confiscating phones. She felt that putting that responsibility on teachers would cause irreparable damage to classroom relationships and could potentially lead to violent interactions between teachers and students. Aisha Milbury-Ellis, chair of the Policies and Procedures Subcommittee, asked her to come to the next subcommittee meeting to discuss that point. Superintendent evaluation ommittee Vice Chair Jacqueline Monterroso asked for an update on the superintendent’s evaluation. “I know she’s leaving but we still need to evaluate her,†Monterroso told fellow committee members. Committee member Stacey Brondson-Rizzo suggested that the committee use Kelly’s fi nal evaluation as a learning experience for new members. She proposed having someone from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees meet with the committee to guide them through the process. Garfield elevators A bid is going out to replace the elevators at Garfi eld Elementary School, which have reached a critical point. The work is in the design phase and won’t be done for the school opening. However, the hope is that at least one of the school’s three elevators will be operational while the work is being done. ׉ Ú7cassandra://yVBpgZ08M7buRuGUCHYg62ZxGQ5ujLzqa1S-QyAU9WsÍ7=Í`ÌÔÍ×jb1Î3%•ô;׉EÚWTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2026 Page 3 Shown from left to right during Tuesday’s meeting at Revere High School: School Committee Secretary Stacey Bronsdon-Rizzo, Treasurer Anthony Caggiano, member Vanessa Biasella, member Stephen Damiano Jr., Mayor/Chairman Patrick Keefe, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly, member Rafael Feliciano Sr., member Aisha Milbury-Ellis, Vice Chairwoman Jacqueline Monterroso and Assistant Supt. of Schools Dr. Danielle Mokaka-Bernardo.

The ABCC has issued notice to Tribu alleging multiple violations of civil regulations for serving alcoholic drinks after hours and for serving free drinks. A hearing on those allegations is set for next Tuesday (July 28). Once the ABCC completes its hearing, the Saugus Board of Selectmen — which acts as the town liquor licensing authority — will conduct its own hearing in the case. “The Board is in communication with the ABCC and working collaboratively in this matter,†Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta told The Saugus Advocate this week. “The ABCC still has an active investigation and will continue to work with us once their investigation is complete. Once the ABCC completes their investigation, the Board can take appropriate action on this matter,†Panetta said. She added that the ABCC requested that selectmen not speak on issues related to Tribu until after the commission’s hearing. “I am taking my direction from the ABCC,†Panetta said. “I will call my contact after the hearing for next steps. I have been following this closely, and have been in close communication with the ABCC,†she said. Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Anthony Cogliano stressed that selectmen need to review the ABCC fi ndings before making a decision. “I think it’s important for all of us to know the facts before we comment on the incident,†Cogliano said. “I know the ABCC is conducting an investigation and I look forward to hearing what they have to say and if they are off ering a recommendation to the Town for us to proceed,†he said. The investigation into the fatal crash was spearheaded by the Essex County State Police Detective Unit attached to the District Attorney’s Office. The State Police’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section (C.A.R.S.), the State Police Crime Scene Services, the State Police Technical Services Unit, the MassDOT Safety Inspectors, the Offi ce of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) and the Lynnfi eld and Saugus Police Departments also assisted. “In summary, the investigation revealed the following: Marrero began his evening at a restaurant in Waltham where he purchased food and was provided one complimentary drink; his tab closed out at 7:42 P.M.,†according to the district attorney’s report. î˜îîîˆî• îŒî– îˆî•îˆî€„ ׉ Ú7cassandra://MMWSls69uwxSBDsDlzOTVi50gVVJOL3QYoYM4Zl7P4wÍ:.Í`ÌÔÍ×jb1Î3%•ô=׉EÚ¨THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2026 Page 5 Jeep enter the jughandle, graze a guardrail on the right, run a red light, take too sharp a left turn and reenter the northbound lane traveling southState Police Trooper Kevin Trainor was killed on May 6 while responding to a wrongway driver headed south in the northbound lane of Route 1 in Lynnfi eld.

He sat down at the bar at 9:15 P.M. and was served a margarita at 9:20 P.M.; he made a social media posting of a margarita at Tribu with the caption ‘Second stop!!!.’ Between 9:20 P.M. and 12:53 A.M., he was served a total of nine alcoholic drinks at Tribu.†At 1:56 A.M, Marrero departed the Tribu parking lot in his 2018 Jeep Wrangler and headed north on Rte. 1 in the northbound lane for approximately 2.3 miles. At 2:01 A.M., his vehicle entered the Rte. 1 “jughandle†next to Santarpio’s Pizza in Peabody, which enables drivers to reverse direction onto Rte. 1 South, according to the report. There are clear, visible, unobstructed and undamaged signs on both sides of the road directing motorists not to enter Route 1 North from the jughandle. MassDOT traffi c camera footage shows the bound. “The Jeep traveled 1.8 miles southbound in the northbound lane. At the Salem Street overpass, the Jeep passed a northbound EZ Disposal truck equipped with dash cam video, which shows the Jeep pass at 2:02:39 A.M.,†the report noted. The truck driver called 911. A Trooper also observed the wrong-way driver and broadcast the information to the State Police Danvers Barracks desk offi cer and area cruisers. The desk offi cer responded that he was receiving 911 calls concerning the wrong-way driver. Trooper Trainor had just completed an assigned public safety detail on the Lynnway in the area of the General Edwards Bridge and was headed home at 1:52 A.M. His cruiser radio was on and set to the channel over which the communications about the wrongway driver were broadcast. Trooper Trainor’s cruiser was the fi rst to encounter the Jeep and collided head-on with it. At the point of impact, EDR data showed the cruiser speed was between 60.4 and 68.6 miles per hour and the Jeep between 56.4 and 61.4 miles per hour. Moments after the 911 calls, other responding Troopers came upon the site of the collision, approximately 350 feet south of mile marker 59.2. “ The reconstructionist determined that Marrero’s wrong-way driving was not caused by any defect, malfunction, or condition of the Jeep or any defect or condition of the posted signage,†the report noted. “Rather, ‘the collision was caused by the actions of Mr. Marrero and, furthermore, that his wrong-way operation of the Jeep ultimately resulted in his own death as well as the line of duty death of Trooper Kevin Trainor’.†Tribu will not face criminal charges, according to the district attorney’s offi ce. “After a thorough review in light of the applicable legal standards and burden of proof, this Office has determined that criminal charges are not sustainable,†the report said. On May 7, the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) Investigation and Enforcement Division received information that Marrero may have been at Tribu on May 5 and into May 6, just prior to the crash.

This event combines all three and highlights how we all belong here. It’s a microcosm of what Revere Beach is all about.†He also said the festival’s sand sculpture theme, Boston Welcomes the World, featuring soccer balls and players relating to the World Cup being held at stadiums across the United States, including Foxboro Stadium and co-hosting nations Canada and Mexico, dovetailed with the idea of a place where everybody can go and feel at home.

A connection to the World Cup was Belgium beating the United States in the Round of 16, as was East Boston resident Ndricim “Jimmy†Bejko’s creation The Final Countdown, which was inspired by the World Cup trophy. Bejko, a professional sculptor, is originally from Albania, where he attended one of the country’s few artistic high schools. He came to the US in 2005 and first saw the sand sculptures on Revere Beach in 2008, which prompted him to start working with sand. “Sand sculptures are ephemeral,†Hamel noted. “They disappear, but the artists come here.†“The artists give us something to look forward to every July,†Keefe added.

Revere Housing Trust Launches Buy Down Program for Homebuyers By Barbara Taormina T he Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board is gearing up for their next big program to make homeownership possible for low-to-moderateincome buyers. The board’s Buy Down program is a pilot homeownership assistance initiative that will help eligible households close the gap between market prices and what is considered aff ordable in exchange for deed restrictions and profi t sharing with the trust. The Buy Down program reduces the diff erence between the sales price of a home and an aff ordable price for low-to-moderate-income buyers. It differs from the down payment assistance program, which is a fl at $10,000 grant. The board has acknowledged that the $10,000 down payment has not kept pace with local home sales prices. The Buy Down program is unique because it will lower the purchase price and create genuine aff ordability. The board is aiming to create deed-restricted, owneroccupied homes while supporting Revere families who are priced out of the current market. Homes purchased through the Buy Down program will carry a deed restricPROGRAM | SEE Page 18 ׉ Ú7cassandra://mFwmxWX7OL5Z2Rp65Ui64wGrnX0ekGg0KOVLL9YLRGwÍ3TÍ`ÌÔÍ×jb1Î3%•ôD×jb1Î3%•ôCÍ ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://wq_Nc2OsIR5YWcra4BPpxI38PzqpQPLEkVO3otrgaMMÎwÄÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://dS2SaMuWc8K98V23oNNotd2L7-JTubuXlKj0mGdzCyEÍ qÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://-JExlIXM9XVKbBbhWO-HLlS32Zih0US3cUI11uqANkcÍ7–Í`ÌÔÍ×jb1Ô3%•ôqטšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://ZxVkQ84oI9mQm1wNc-DEChXezv-f4u3kclPiv7rOU9IÎìDÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://ZvqUAyjjsIXbMhu55EGCIwLo2DQR0SS1YAbv7K77EhgÍ™QÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://YkT17sIRK6I2D3eE-0-GpKWbYpniLrPytyhA5Q9RVR4Í4NÍ`ÌÔÍ×jb1Ô3%•ôr׉EÚ¤Page 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2026 State Representative Jessica Giannino State Senator Lydia Edwards with State Rep.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. PETS (H 5589) House 151-1, approved a bill that supporters say will strengthen animal welfare protections, modernize veterinary technician licensing and support responsible pet ownership. The House version of the measure does not include a major provision that is in the version of the bill already passed by the Senate. Supporters of the Senate version say that the Senate version would end the inhumane puppy-mill-to-pet-shop system by banning commercial sales of cats and dogs in pet stores. The House version now goes to the Senate for consideration. Provisions of the House measure include modernizing the state’s dog licensing and kennel oversight laws by strengthening inspection requirements; improving reporting from licensing authorities; ensuring that dogs housed in kennels are properly licensed; and establishing a clearer legal process for addressing cases of animal neglect. Law enforcement and animal control offi cers will be able to petition courts for timely intervention when animals are suffering from neglect, allowing courts to order appropriate care, remove animals from dangerous situations when necessary or permanently prohibit individuals from owning animals in serious cases. The bill strengthens protections for animals used in research by expanding adoption opportunities for dogs and cats after research concludes. Other provisions prohibit a manufacturer or contract testing facility from using a traditional animal test method if there is an alternative test method when testing a product, product formulation, chemical or ingredient; updates Massachusetts law governing pet insurance by adopting nationally recognized consumer protection standards; establishes penalties for transportation network companies like Uber and their drivers who unlawfully refuse service to riders accompanied by service animals; and establishes a statewide pet ownership program for older adults living in public housing. The program prohibits blanket bans on pets while allowing housing authorities to adopt reasonable pet policies that protect residents, animals and housing facilities. “This legislation modernizes the commonwealth’s animal welfare laws while supporting responsible pet ownership, strengthening veterinary care, protecting consumers and while ensuring stronger enforcement of existing animal protection laws,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “If there is any issue that we can all agree on, it’s that all of our furry friends deserve long, happy lives,†said Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham), House chair of the Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government. “This legislation is a strong step towards that goal. We are employing robust measures to promote good caretaking and penalize bad actors, such as expanding policy related to veterinary technicians and pet insurance, banning the use of animals in household product safety research and adding new oversight to the kennel industry. I am especially proud of the wide bipartisan support that this bill garnered, highlighting our collective unity on this issue.†“This is more of the state putting its thumbs on the scales with local communities,†said Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only member to vote against the measure. “Animals are being transformed from pets into four-legged humans and while I hate the idea of someone having to give up a pet to go into state housing, the burden this places on others is one that is being overlooked, not to mention the additional costs of repairing and rehabilitating housing for the next resident after a pet owner leaves. The restrictions on small businesses are too much. Pet stores track their animals and maintain health records prior to selling. If the state would just enforce the laws we already have, this would be unnecessary.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL NO ROLL CALL VOTES ON THREE MAJOR BILLS — The Senate approved three major bills last week by a voice vote, without a recorded roll call. The three bills would ban the use of DEHP, a toxic chemical which is commonly added to plastic intravenous bags and tubing (H 5550); support the safety of frontline health care workers (S 3171); and help older adults age in place in the Bay State by improving the home care industry that assists elders with basic care like cooking, dressing and bathing (S 3170). In the Massachusetts Senate, it only takes one senator to request a roll call vote. A roll call vote is then ordered if at least one-fi fth of the senators present support the motion to have a roll call or if a number of members equal to the total number of members of the minority party (currently fi ve Republicans) support the motion — whichever is less. It is impossible to determine how a senator votes on a voice vote. Here’s how a voice vote works: Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is fi lling in for her at the podium, orchestrates a voice vote with a simple: “All those in favor of the bill say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The Ayes have it and the bill is approved.†Or: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The No’s have it and the bill is rejected.†Senators don’t actually say “Yes†or “No,†and, in fact, they don’t say a word. The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) was the leading voice debating in favor of two of the three proposals on the Senate fl oor. She did not request a roll call vote on either of those two bills. She did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she did not ask for a roll call vote so that senators would be on the record as voting for or against the measures. None of the Senate’s fi ve Republicans requested a roll call on any of the three bills. GOP senators are often promoting transparency in government so it was a surprise that none requested a roll call vote. None of the fi ve Republican senators responded to Beacon Hill Roll Call’s repeated requests asking them why they didn’t request a roll call. The five GOP senators are Sens. Kelly Dooner (R-Taunton), Peter Durant (R-Spencer), Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) and Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). TOXIC MEDICAL DEVICES (H 5550) — The Senate, on a voice vote, without a roll call, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill that would ban the use of DEHP, a toxic chemical which is commonly added to plastic intravenous bags and tubing and linked to breast, liver, lung and testicular cancer. Many IV bags currently contain DEHP, which is added to improve the plastic’s fl exibility but can pose serious health dangers to patients. The measure also prevents manufacturers from replacing DEHP with similar ortho-phthalates and encourages the transition to safer alternatives while preserving limited exemptions for specialized blood collection and cell therapy products. “The Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act was filed because patients should never have to worry that the tools meant to heal them are exposing them to a cancer-linked chemical, especially when safe alternatives already exist in use right here in Massachusetts,†said Sen. Joan Lovely, Senate sponsor of the legislation. “Seeing this advance through the Legislature brings Massachusetts to the brink of leading the nation on exemplary medical care.†“We are once again elevating the standard of care in the commonwealth and we should all be proud of that,†said Sen. Bill Driscoll (D-Milton), Senate chair of the Committee on Public Health. “When implemented, this will improve the health of patients by decreasing exposure to toxins and known carcinogens.†WORKPLACE VIOLENCE IN HEALTH CARE FACILITIES (S 3171) — The Senate on a voice vote, without a roll call, approved legislation that supporters said would support the safety of frontline health care BHRC | SEE Page 19 ׉ Ú7cassandra://0uYeJonSRU8bs6j3WarWBoDlIHprlp3eNnDodpOuHUoÍ/ÒÍ`ÌÔÍ×jb1Î3%•ôI׉EÚ9THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2026 Page 17 1.

What to Do When Medical Bills Pile Up Dear Savvy Senior, I’m 63 and recently had a hospital stay that left me with bills I can’t aff ord to pay. I had Aff ordable Care Act health insurance, but after my premiums went up in January, I had to drop my coverage. Now I’m overwhelmed by medical bills. What can I do? --Struggling Patient Dear Struggling, You’re defi nitely not alone. Medical debt is very common. About 1 in 12 Americans are dealing with it, and many had insurance when the bills started piling up. The good news is there are ways to reduce what you owe and make it more manageable. Here are some steps that can help. Check your bills Medical billing errors are more common than you might think, so start by taking a close look at every bill and explanation of benefi ts you receive. Watch for duplicate charges, services you did not receive or prices that seem off . If something does not look right, call your provider’s billing offi ce and ask for an itemized bill. Do not be shy about asking questions. Even small mistakes can add up. Ask about help Most hospitals, especially nonprofi t ones, are required to off er fi nancial assistance programs, often called charity care. Depending on your income, you may qualify to have part or even all of your bill forgiven. Call the hospital billing office and ask specifically about financial assistance. You can also visit DollarFor. org, a nonprofi t that helps patients apply for charity care programs at no cost. Negotiate costs If you do not qualify for assistance, you still have options. Many hospitals and doctors are willing to work with patients, especially if you reach out early. Ask if they can lower the bill or offer a discount if you can pay something upfront. You can also request a no interest payment plan to spread the cost out over time. If this feels overwhelming, a medical billing advocate can help. The Alliance of Professional Health Advocates, at aphadvocates.org, can connect you with professionals who review bills and negotiate on your behalf. Find programs Since you recently lost coverage, it is also worth checking whether you qualify for Medicaid, especially if your income has dropped. You can apply through Healthcare.gov or your state Medicaid offi ce. Another helpful tool is BenefitsCheckUp.org, from the National Council on Aging, which can point you to programs that help lower health care and prescription costs. Get support You do not have to handle this on your own. There are several trusted organizations that off er free or low-cost help. The Patient Advocate Foundation (patientadvocate.org) provides case management services and can help you fi nd fi - nancial assistance. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org) offers nonprofi t credit counseling and guidance on managing debt. You can also visit NeedyMeds.org to locate programs that can help lower the cost of prescriptions and other medical expenses. The most important thing is to act sooner rather than later. Ignoring medical bills can lead to collections and added stress, but many providers are willing to work with you if you reach out. Start by reviewing your bills, then explore assistance programs and payment options. With some persistence, you can often lower what you owe and set up a plan that fi ts your budget. Medical debt is common, even among people who had insurance, but it is often negotiable, and there are real resources available to help you through it.

I love the summer heat and sun, but I don’t care much for skin cancer. Back on my 37th birthday, I had some surgery over at the Carney Hospital to remove some skin cancer from my nose. Nothing has ever grown back, and I use plenty of sunscreen, number 100, today. Finally, is it just me or is summer zooming by. The World Cup has thankfully left East Boston, and I have my parking space back. Between soccer and the Tall Ships, it’s been hell living in Jeffries Point. Well, Eastie Week is almost state assistance with a capped amount of help per household. At their meeting earlier this month, the board discussed advertising the program and designing the applications to be eligible for the program applicants — must have a local connection, such as two years of residency in Revere or have a child in the Revere school system. Applicants must also fall into the low-to-moderateincome range. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and will be available in here as is Taste of Eastie. These last two summer events never took parking spaces away for me Another sign that summer is moving along too fast, I am already thinking about my end of summer vacation to my niece’s Tanya home just outside of Minneapolis and another trip to the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, MN. After that, soon my beach chair goes back into the cellar. My sunscreen packed away and then back to the classroom for another school year. Summer doers move fast right after July 4th but remember the whole month of August is still ahead of us, right? English, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. Board members plan to engage local banks and lenders in Revere, so they understand the program and can work with its requirements. They also intend to blanket the city with fl yers, light up social media with information and do whatever it takes to get the word out to residents who might benefi t from this opportunity. Applications for the Buy Down program are expected to be available this fall. RevereTV Spotlight Sculpting Festival and other exciting projects shaping the community.

A key section would establish that employees who suffer workplace violence are entitled to paid leave for any time spent seeking medical treatment and aiding in the prosecution of their attacker, without using any vacation, sick or personal time. “Every 36 minutes, a health care worker in Massachusetts is assaulted or threatened on the job,†said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), Senate sponsor of the legislation. “That is not [in] the job description, and it never should be a reality for any professional. The bill the Senate passed today is built on legislation I have fi led session after session on behalf of our nurses, our front-line caregivers and our hospitals. It requires every facility to assess its own risks with its own workers, build a real prevention program and ensure accountability. It gives an assaulted worker paid leave, privacy and a lawful response.†“No health care worker should ever be subjected to violence in the course of their duties, working long hours to selfl essly care for their patients,†said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (DWestport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “It’s alarming that almost seven out of ten nurses have reported workplace violence, an unacceptable statistic that must end now. Our dedicated health care workers will now have updated workplace violence prevention programs and a stronger support system to ensure a safe and professional workplace environment.†“Health care workers show up every day to take care of us,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The least we can do is make sure they’re safe while they do it. Today we are giving hospitals and law enforcement the tools they need to prevent violence before it happens and respond quickly when it does, so our nurses, doctors and health care staff can focus on what they do best: caring for patients.†The House has already approved a diff erent version of the bill and a conference committee will likely be appointed to craft a compromise version. HOME CARE (S 3170) — The Senate on a voice vote, without a roll call, approved a proposal that supporters said would help older adults age in place at home by improving the home care industry that assists elders with basic care like cooking, dressing and bathing. A key provision would establish a licensure process, which would include fi ngerprinting and background checks for home care agencies to ensure that consumers receive quality non-medical services, and that home care workers are protected. Massachusetts is currently among a handful of states that do not regulate home care agencies. Other provisions help connect people in need of care with a properly checked home care service by requiring the Executive Offi ce of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to share a list of verifi ed and licensed agencies on its website; creating a committee—the Home Care Worker and Consumer Abuse Stakeholder Advisory Committee—to advise EOHHS on new regulations and how to handle safety concerns for both consumers and home care workers; and creating a special commission to explore the idea of a possible state program which people would pay into and from which older and retired adults would receive long-term services or support. “Home care is such an important component to our overall system, allowing people to remain in their homes with dignity, and receive the care they need to maintain their daily lives,†said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “By creating a licensure process, both the caregiver and the client benefi t, ensuring the best care for our residents, and increasing the level of integrity for the home care worker. This legislation closes a loophole that will now mandate that these important health care workers be under proper state regulations and oversight. These regulations will go a long way towards giving patients and their families a large measure of comfort and peace of mind.†“Everyone—consumers and workers—will be safer with home care licensure,†said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville), Senate chair of the Committee on Aging and Independence and the Senate sponsor of the legislation. “If you qualify for statepaid home care, the agency who sends you workers is required to train and supervise them and meet other standards. But if you’re private pay, you may have to fi nd someone in a hurry. There are a large and growing number of agencies, many for profi t. They can send care workers who would come into your home and help with grocery shopping and even intimate help with showering. We don’t even know how many such agencies there are. And they don’t have to meet any standards. The bill is supported by home care organizations, SEIU 1199 and consumer groups. Most of us will need long term care at some point, and many of us will fi nd it very hard to aff ord.†“As Massachusetts’ population ages, the demand for homecare is rising,†said Cari Medina, Executive Vice President of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. “Older adults and people with disabilities who receive care at home, and their families, deserve protection from fl y-bynight homecare operations that cut corners and mistreat workers to make a quick buck.

The bill would designate one of the additional seats to the Executive Director of the Commission on LGBTQ Youth or a designee and would designate the other additional seat to an individual with past juvenile justice involvement from a list provided by Kiva Centers and the Parent/Professional Advocacy League. “I am thrilled to see my juvenile justice legislation pass through the Senate so we can ensure this critical board will have a voice representing LGBTQ youth and give more voice to individuals with lived experience in the juvenile justice system,†said sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “LGBTQ youth are more likely to be seriously mistreated by others in the juvenile justice system, face excessive punishments and are at higher risk of being rejected by their families and harassed in school settings.
