ZBA denies variances
for 17-story
mixed-use project
on Northshore Road
By Barbara Taormina
T
he Revere Zoning Board
of Appeals held a public
hearing on a request for variances
that would allow 1290
Northshore Road LLC to build
a 17-story mixed-used building
with 358 residential units
on Northshore Road. Attorney
James Cipoletta explained the
project to the board. According
to Cipoletta, the request
for a height variance is due
to the underground garage
and a planned ballroom with
higher than usual ceilings. The
height restriction is 160 feet or
16 stories.

Tuesday. See inside for photo highlights. (Advocate photo by Emily Harney)
Cipoletta said the project
was also seeking variances for
parking. There will be 82 onsite
parking spots, but Cipoletta
stressed the development
was adjacent to the MBTA station
with parking and a parking
garage nearby. Another
variance was also requested
for fl oor space. Cipoletta said
the project is a diffi cult build
because of the lot and space
limitations.
Cipoletta also highlighted
the fact that the developer
was committing 10 percent
of the units, or 36 apartments,
as aff ordable housing. He said
the plan calls for 103 two-bedroom
units, 195 one bedrooms
and 60 studio apartments.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky,
councillor for the
ward where the building would
be built, said most of the concerns
from residents were
about the height. Novoselsky,
who supports the project, said,
â€œOne additional story wonâ€™t
make much diff erence. We can
live with 17 stories.â€

Massachusetts House passes legislation
to strengthen Alzheimerâ€™s and dementia care
Legislation expands fi rst responder training,
strengthens hospital care, supports caregivers and advances brain
health initiatives across the Commonwealth
Special to Th e Advocate
O
n July 29, 2026, the Massachusetts
House of Representatives
unanimously passed
legislation to strengthen dementia
care, improve support
for families and caregivers, expand
workforce training and
enhance public health eff orts
to address Alzheimerâ€™s disease
and other dementias across the
Commonwealth. The bill takes
a comprehensive approach to
improving care for individuals
living with dementia while
equipping health care providers,
fi rst responders, hospitals
and state agencies with the
tools and resources needed to

better serve patients. On July
30, the Massachusetts Senate
referred the bill to its committee
on Ways & Means.
â€œAlzheimerâ€™s disease and other
forms of dementia are devastating
illnesses that profoundly
aff ect not only those diagnosed,
but also the families and
caregivers faced with the challenges
of caring for their loved
one. This legislation is about ensuring
that the Commonwealth
is doing all that it can to care for
individuals living with Alzheimerâ€™s
disease and other dementias
by strengthening training,
by improving coordination
across the health care system,
and by investing in a workforce
that is better prepared to provide
the care that diagnosed
individuals need,â€ said House
Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (DQuincy).
â€œI want to thank Leader
Gregorie and Chair Stanley for
their work on this legislation, as
well as all my colleagues in the
House for supporting these important
reforms.â€
â€œWhile the Commonwealth
is a global pioneer in advancing
Alzheimerâ€™s Disease and
related dementia treatment
Jessica Ann Giannino
State Representative
and prevention, we canâ€™t rest
on our laurels,â€ said Representative
Thomas M. Stanley (DWaltham),
who is House Chair
of the Legislatureâ€™s Joint Committee
on Aging and Independence.
â€œThe prevalence of Alzheimerâ€™s
and related dementia
is expected to increase substantially
over the next decade
and at the same time we are experiencing
workforce challenges
and a shrinking pool of family
caregivers.â€
â€œAlzheimerâ€™s and other forms
of dementia touch far too many
families, and I know fi rsthand
how diffi cult it can be to watch
a loved one navigate these diseases.
This legislation is about
meeting people where they are,
supporting caregivers, improving
care for patients, and ensuring
that the professionals who
Jeff rey Rosario Turco
State Representative
serve our communities have
the training and resources they
need. From fi rst responders to
hospitals to care coordination,
weâ€™re taking meaningful steps
to build a more compassionate,
prepared, and dementia-friendly
Commonwealth. Iâ€™m proud to
support this bipartisan eff ort
to improve quality of life for individuals
living with dementia
and the families who stand beside
them every day,â€ said Representative
Jessica Ann Giannino
(D-Revere).
â€œWith the rise of our friends,
families and neighbors affl icted
with Alzheimerâ€™s, this legislation
takes a wholistic approach
to addressing the needs
of patients and families. It seeks
to be better service, increased
education and seamless coordination
in addressing this affliction,â€
said Representative
Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop).
The
legislation establishes
mandatory dementia training
programs for municipal and
state law enforcement offi cers,
firefighters and emergency
medical services personnel. Developed
by the Municipal Police
Training Committee, the Massachusetts
Fire Training Council,
the Department of Public
Health (DPH), the Colonel of
the State Police, and the Executive
Offi ce of Aging and Independence
in consultation with
Alzheimerâ€™s organizations and
other stakeholders, the training
will require at least two hours of
initial instruction followed by
biennial continuing education.
The bill expands notifi cation
requirements so that families
or legal representatives are informed
of an initial diagnosis
of any dementia â€” not solely
Alzheimerâ€™s disease â€” and esMASS.

City Council unanimously passes resolution supporting
legislation to modernize student transportation
Resolution supports MA FASST coalition efforts to lower school transportation costs and address vendor shortages
Special to Th e Advocate
T
he Revere City Council voted
unanimously on Monday,
July 27, to pass a resolution
supporting the Massachusetts
Friends of Aff ordable, Safe Student
Transportation (MA FASST)
coalition and endorsing House
Bill 3772 (fi led by Representative
Jeff rey Roy, Franklin) and Senate
Bill 3021 (fi led by Senator Brendan
Crighton, Lynn). The resolution
urges the Massachusetts
Legislature to swiftly pass legislation
that will provide immediate
operational and fi nancial relief
to municipalities, especially
for those with special education
students and students experiencing
homelessness.
The City Councilâ€™s resolution
highlights the soaring cost
of specialized transportation,
pointing to recent fi ndings from
the state Offi ce of the Inspector
General that identifi ed barriers
to market competition, including
outdated mandates for permanent
vehicle modifi cations
that restrict the pool of available
vendors, increasing costs
and district defi cits across the
state, specifi cally under Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter
90, Section 7D rules. The
bills, H.3772 and S.3021, update
Section 7D regulations for
post-2018 vehicles by replacing
permanent vehicle requirements
with more options while
strengthening applicable safety
standards under existing law.
â€œWe all have seen the impact
with the cost of transportation
over the last few years,â€ Councillor-at-Large
Marc Silvestri said
during the meeting. â€œIt would
help save a lot of money for our
special needs transportation, so
this is something that we would
support.â€
State Senator Lydia Edwards
(Third Suffolk District) voiced
support for the effort: â€œModernizing
our student transportation
rules is a win-win for our
communities. It maintains the
highest safety standards for our
students while delivering meaningful
fi scal relief to Revere and
school districts across the Commonwealth.â€
â€œEvery
student deserves safe,
reliable transportation to and
from school, and our communities
deserve policies that make
providing that service more affordable.
This legislation is a
practical, commonsense update
that maintains strong safety
standards while helping school
districts reduce costs, increase
competition among transportation
providers, and better serve
students with specialized transportation
needs,â€ said State
Representative Jessica Giannino
(16th Suff olk District). â€œI appreciate
the Revere City Council
for unanimously supporting
this important eff ort, and I look
forward to continuing to work
with my colleagues in the Legislature
to move these reforms
forward.â€
By passing this resolution, Revere
joins a growing group of
Massachusetts communities advocating
for commonsense reforms
to lower transportation
costs while maintaining safe student
transportation. This comes
as Attorney General Andrea J.
Campbellâ€™s offi ce announced a
$2.4 million settlement with a
school busing company for illegally
colluding and infl ating
special education transportation
prices in several school districts.
By replacing outdated vehicle
mandates that restrict market
entry, H.3772 and S.3021
would advance essential goodgovernment
principles, opening
the market to more vendors,
increasing competitive bidding
and protecting taxpayer dollars
from predatory pricing.

that explained that the situation
at BKâ€™s Bar & Grill has
been improving. Police Sgt.
Edward Troy has been working
with BKâ€™s on potential improvements,
such as better
checks of identifi cation, earlier

The commission placed
the complaints on fi le.
said he was glad to hear that
the affordable units would

Revere Board of Health Director
Lauren Buck, who organizes
the Farmerâ€™s Market
each year, as well as some of
the vendors that were there.
The market is at a new location
this summer: in the
green space between Ocean
Avenue and Revere Beach
Boulevard. It will continue
there was not enough parking.
â€œThey donâ€™t have ample
parking for this size building,â€
said Mercurio.
The developers planned to
use the Wonderland Transit

which is close to public
transportation, to mitigate
parking requirements. There

9 tips to help you stay safe this summer
By Dr. Ana Stankovic,
Chief Medical Officer,
UnitedHealthcare Employer
and Individual Plans
of New England
S
ummer brings long days,
family vacations, afternoons
by the pool and more
time outside. But as temperatures
rise and families head to
the water, itâ€™s also a time to be
extra mindful about staying
safe. From heat-related illness
to sun exposure and drowning
risks, a few simple precautions
can help make sure summer
fun stays just that â€” fun.
Here are some tips to help
you stay safe in the sun, especially
around water:
1. Take Swimming Lessons
to Reduce Risk of Drowning:
According to the latest
CDC data, unintentional
drowning remains a
leading cause of death for
young children in the United
States. More children
ages 1-4 die from drowning
than any other cause of
death, and drowning is the
second leading cause of
unintentional injury death
for children ages 5-14.
Every year in the United
States, there are over 4,000
fatal unintentional drownings
â€” an average of 11
drowning deaths per day.
2. Wear a Life Jacket During
Water-Based Activities:
Pool toys, such as noodles
or inner tubes, should not
be used in lieu of a life jacket
as they are not designed
to keep swimmers safe. For
children, choosing brightcolored
swimsuits can also
make it easier to spot them
in the water.
3. Learn and Practice Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation
(CPR): When performed
by bystanders during
an emergency, CPR
can help save lives and
improve outcomes for
drowning victims. The
sooner CPR starts, the better
the chance of a positive
outcome.
4. Prepare for Weather:
Strong winds and thunderstorms
can be dangerous
when you are in or
around water, so check the
forecast before boating
or swimming and head to
shore right away if storms
develop.
5. Reapply Sunscreen Every
Two Hours to Protect
Your Skin if You Remain
in the Sun: Sunscreen
protection levels
are categorized using
a sun protection factor
(SPF) number that rates
how well they block UV
rays with higher numbers
indicating more protection.
Use a broad-spectrum
sunscreen with SPF
30 or higher and reapply
at least every two hours,
or more often after swimming
or sweating.
6. Wear Protective Clothing,
a Hat and Sunglasses:
When possible, wear
long-sleeved shirts, pants
or skirts that can help
protect against UV rays.

Planning Board backs zoning changes
for tattoo shops, food trucks
By Barbara Taormina
T
he Planning Board voted
to favorably recommend
changes to zoning ordinances
that will expand where body
art shops and food trucks are
welcome to operate. The City
Council has already approved
the changes and referred them
to their zoning subcommittee
for further review. Councillors
felt that limiting tattoo shops
to the TED district refl ected an
antiquated attitude.
â€œThere should be no restrictions,â€
said Ward 3 Councillor
Anthony Cogliandro. â€œThis is
old legislation by people who
didnâ€™t know any better.â€
The Planning Board did not
oppose expanding where body
art shops can locate; however,
board member Hal Abrams
amended the proposed ordinance
change to include a provision
that body art businesses
must have proof of liability
insurance and workersâ€™ comp.
â€œWe want to make sure that
once you start piercing someoneâ€™s
body you have liability
and workmanâ€™s comp,â€ he said.
The Planning Board also voted
to favorably recommend expanding
where food trucks can
operate to include the PDD2
district. The City Council also
approved of this ordinance
change. Currently, food trucks

are permitted in the RC2 district,
highway business areas,
and the technology enterprise
district. The trucks need DCR
permission for beach locations
and License Commission approval
elsewhere. While councillors
raised concerns about
noise from truck generators,
several said food trucks promote
local business and generate
meals tax revenue.
Planning Board member Hal
Abrams suggested tabling the
proposed ordinance amendment.
Abrams said rather than
placing the trucks in diff erent
zones throughout the city, the
focus should be on the grassy
area at Revere Beach. He suggested
a meeting with the
mayor, community development,
the DCR, and state reps
to discuss a possible food truck
haven with amenities such as
a concrete base, water and
electrical connections to cut
down generator noise, which
has been a problem in the past.
â€œRevere Beach is one of the
better places,â€ he said.
But Planning Board members
felt the ordinance amendment
and Abramsâ€™ proposal for
a meeting to consider Revere
Beach as a food truck hub were
both worthwhile ideas and not
mutually exclusive.

OBITUARY
David Schraffa
O
f Revere. Affectionately
known as â€œDavie,â€ passed
away on July 27, at the age
of 80. Born on July 18, 1946,
in Boston to Thomas and
Florence Schraff a, David was
known for his charisma, humor,
and big heart, and he
left a lasting mark on everyone
fortunate enough to
know him. A proud Bostonian,
David was born and raised
in East Boston before making
Revere his home in 2010.
Wherever he went, his kind
and supportive nature had a
way of touching the lives of
those around him. David was
a pressman by trade, and he
took real pride in his craft â€”
a skilled, hardworking man
who was committed to doing
the job right. In his free time,
David loved playing cards
with friends.
Above all, Davidâ€™s greatest
joy was his family, and especially
his grandchildren, who
were the apple of his eye. His
love for them was profound,
and his legacy will live on
through the lessons and values
he passed on to them.
Married to the love of his life,
Mary Ann (Landolfi ) Schraffa,
for nearly 61 years this October,
David was a funny, devoted
husband who cherished
every moment they
shared. A pillar of strength for
his family, he is lovingly survived
by Mary Ann; his daughter,
Tracey Schraff a; his cherished
grandchildren, Jill and
Nick Schraff a; and his sister,
Ann Shelleby. He also leaves
behind many loving nieces,
nephews, extended family,
and dear friends. David was
predeceased by his parents,
Thomas and Florence Schraffa,
and by his siblings, Anthony
Schraff a, Mary Feller, and
Louise Caudill. Davidâ€™s laughter,
warmth, and unwavering
support will be deeply
missed, but the memories he
made and the love he gave
will continue to live on in the
hearts of all who knew him.
A Visitation took place on
Sunday, August 2, at Paul Buonfi
glio & Sons-Bruno Funeral
Home, Revere. A Funeral Service
will be held on Monday,
August 3, at the funeral home,
followed by a Funeral Mass
at Sacred Heart Parish in East
Boston. Interment was held
privately. The family kindly
asks that donations be made
in Davidâ€™s name to St. Jude
Childrenâ€™s Research Hospital,
which is dedicated to finding
cures and saving children
with cancer and other lifethreatening
diseases. Donations
may be made at https://

MASS. HOUSE | FROM Page 2
tablishes a new MassHealth dementia
care coordination benefit
for eligible members enrolled
in Senior Care Options
and One Care plans, providing
support for both individuals
living with dementia and their
caregivers. The legislation also
enhances protections for patients
and families by requiring
acute care hospitals to allow
medically appropriate visitation
for patients living with
Alzheimerâ€™s disease or other dementias,
as well as those exhibiting
symptoms of cognitive impairment.
Hospitals will also be
required to notify designated
family members, caregivers or
legal representatives promptly
following admission and before
discharge.
To improve care in hospital
settings, the legislation codifi
es requirements that hospitals
maintain and implement
dementia operational plans
addressing staff training, patient
recognition and management,
dementia-friendly environments,
caregiver communication,
discharge planning,
and care coordination. Hospitals
will be required to update
these plans every five years,
submit them to DPH and make
them publicly available.
The legislation also mandates
the following:
Expands the Health Care
Workforce Loan Repayment
Program to provide assistance
for professionals specializing in
geriatrics and geriatric psychiatry;
helps recruit and retain clinicians
with expertise in caring
for older adults
â€¢ Creates a Director of Dementia
Care and Coordination
within the Executive Offi ce of
Health and Human Services
â€¢ Directs DPH to expand public
awareness eff orts on brain
health and dementia through
culturally relevant education
campaigns, to strengthen
statewide data collection on
cognitive decline and caregiving
and to regularly report
on implementation of

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call reports local
representativesâ€™ and senatorsâ€™
votes on roll calls from the week
of July 27-31.
HOME CARE (H 5627)
House 157-0, Senate 40-0, approved
and sent to Gov. Maura
Healey a bill that would establish
a licensure process for home
care agencies that supporters
say will ensure that consumers
receive quality non-medical services
and that home care workers
are protected.
The Executive Offi ce of Health
and Human Services would implement
the licensure process
and have the authority to approve
licenses, survey and investigate
home care agencies
and impose fines. Home care
agencies would be required to
disclose anyone with at least a
5 percent ownership interest in
the agency, carry workers compensation
and liability insurance
and provide appropriate levels
of training for their employees.
â€œEveryoneâ€”consumers and
workersâ€”will be safer and better
served with home care licensure
in place,â€ said lead sponsor
Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville).
â€œThis legislation is the culmination
of years of collaboration
with advocates representing
older adults, care providers,
unions and regulators to ensure
all agencies are vetted, workers
are protected and consumers
receive high-quality care. The
commissions on long-term services
and supports and family
caregiving are important next
steps in providing more aff ordable
options for our residents to
access care and services.â€
â€œOnce again, the House and
Senate answer the call to meet
the needs of our older adults and
prioritize aging in place,â€ said
Rep. Tom Stanley (D-Waltham).
â€œThis legislation follows up last
sessionâ€™s landmark Long-Term
Care reform law by strengthening
another key pillar of the commonwealthâ€™s
continuum of care
for older adults and individuals
with disabilitiesâ€”home care.
At a time when our aging population
is growing and demand
for home care is expected to increase,
the licensing and oversight
process established in this
bill for home care agencies is
needed more than ever to protect
consumers, their families
and home care workers.â€
â€œThe bipartisan support for
this bill in both the Senate and
the House showcases the commitment
within both chambers
to keep aging residents in Massachusetts,â€
said Sen. Ryan Fattman
(R-Sutton). â€œThe protections
created in this bill will give
families the ease of mind that
their older relatives will receive
safer and higher-quality care at
their homes through more training,
oversight and accountability
in the licensure process and
beyond.â€
(A Yesâ€ vote is for the bill.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
CHILD WELFARE (H 5629)
House 156-0, Senate 40-0, approved
and sent to Gov. Healey
legislation that supporters say
would guarantee certain basic
rights for children in foster care
related to their safety, education
and health care. They argued
that the measure safeguards the
wellbeing of children, especially
those in state care and foster
care; increases access to community
support for children at
risk of court involvement; and
strengthens the Office of the
Child Advocate to support robust
investigations into reports
of harm or abuse to a child.
A key provision would expand
the diversion of children
dealing with behavior or attendance
problems to Family Resource
Centers (FRCs) instead
of the court system. Supporters
note that FRCs provide accessible,
confidential support
to children and families in crisis
close to home and have proven
successful in helping kids and
teens stay in school, connecting
families with services such
as mental health or substance
use treatment, housing aid and
legal help.
Other provisions include creating
a Foster Child Bill of Rights

to clarify and protect the basic
rights and services foster children
need to live healthy, safe
and fulfilled lives; codifying a
Youth Engagement program to
ensure the voices of youth are included
to inform relevant policy,
oversight and programs; allowing
a child the same ability as an
adult to petition the court to extend
any abuse or harassment
protection order made on behalf
of the child; tasking the Offi
ce of the Child Advocate (OCA)
with supporting families and
caregivers by providing training
materials to mandated reporters
and individuals who frequently
work with children; and with creating
and maintaining a list of resources
for grieving parents who
have experienced a sudden unexplained
pediatric death.
â€œThis bill strengthens the systems
that protect the commonwealthâ€™s
most vulnerable children,â€
said Rep. Jay Livingstone
(D-Boston), House Chair of the
Committee on Children, Families
and Persons with Disabilities.
â€œIt provides new tools to
schools, courts and child welfare
agencies to improve educational,
health and safety outcomes
for our most vulnerable
children. The bill also mandates
more public reporting to better
understand whatâ€™s working and
identify where improvement is
needed.â€
â€œThis legislation refl ects our
shared responsibility to the children
of the commonwealth â€”
especially those who have experienced
abuse, entered foster
care or are navigating crises,â€
said Sen. Jo Comerford
(D-Northampton), Vice Chair
of Senate Committee on Ways
and Means. â€œIt affi rms that every
child deserves not only protection,
but support, stability,
dignity and the opportunity to
build the future they deserve.
This bill makes meaningful, systemwide
improvements â€” from
establishing a Foster Child Bill of
Rights to strengthening education
continuity, family supports
and accountability. It makes our
child welfare system more responsive,
transparent and compassionate.â€
â€œThe
bill fi nalized by the Legislature
today makes important
changes to improve the effi ciency,
transparency, accountability
and performance of the Department
of Children and Families,
the Offi ce of the Child Advocate
and the Children Requiring
Assistance systems.â€ said Sen.
Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Children, Families, and Persons
with Disabilities. â€œThese
long-needed improvements
to our child welfare ecosystem
have passed today because of
the tireless work of so many. Because
of their eff orts, Massachusetts
will be a better place for
our children to learn and grow.
Just as it takes a village to raise
a child, it also takes a village to
make policy that helps all the
children of the commonwealth
thrive.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
THE â€œPROTECT ACTâ€ (H 5620
House 137-21, Senate on a
voice vote without a roll call, approved
and sent to Gov. Healey
the PROTECT Act that supporters
said would establish statewide
standards governing interactions
between state and
local law enforcement and federal
immigration enforcement.
They said the measure would
create among the strongest protections
in the nation for residents
who have immigrated to
their communities; strengthen
due process protections; limit
civil immigration enforcement
in courthouses, public school
grounds, hospitals and other
sensitive locations; expand protections
for victims of crime; and
increase transparency, accountability
and clarity for correctional
facilities and law enforcement
relative to civil immigration enforcement.
Provisions
bar Massachusetts
law enforcement agencies from
signing new deputization agreements
with federal immigration
authorities, except in narrow,
criminal-law-focused arrangements
that meet additional
safeguards; prohibit civil immigration
arrests without a judicial
warrant at schools, childcare
centers, medical facilities
and courthouses; establish a
civil cause of action against federal
offi cers who violate a residentâ€™s
constitutional rights, putting
them under the same accountability
standards as state
and local police; keep state and
local police out of federal civil
immigration enforcement, barring
the use of local resources
for that purpose, or detention,
based solely on a civil immigration
detainer; and protect immigrant
crime victims, including

Doctor Visits Without the Drive:
How Medicare Covers Telehealth
Dear Savvy Senior,
I donâ€™t drive much anymore,
so getting to the doctor can be
a hassle. They suggested telehealth
visits, but Iâ€™m not very
tech savvy. How does Medicare
cover these kinds of appointments?
--Trying
to Keep Up
Dear Trying,
Youâ€™re certainly not alone.
Many older adults are running
into the same issue.
Getting to appointments is
not as easy as it used to be,
and the idea of using technology
for doctor visits can
feel a little intimidating at
fi rst.
The good news is that telehealth
has made it much easier
to get care without leaving
home, and itâ€™s usually
much simpler to use than
people expect. Medicare
covers many of these services,
too, making it easier
to stay connected with your
health care providers. Hereâ€™s
a look at how it works and
what Medicare pays for.
What is telehealth?
Telehealth is simply a way
to see or talk to your doctor
from home using a phone,
tablet or computer. Visits can
be done by video, where you
and your doctor can see and
talk to each other, or sometimes
by a regular phone call.
And donâ€™t worry, you donâ€™t
need to be a tech expert.
Many doctorâ€™s offices use
simple systems and will walk
you through it step by step.
In some cases, all you have
to do is click a link they send
you or answer your phone at
the scheduled time.
Itâ€™s also important to understand
that telehealth visits
are not just quick chats.
They are considered full
medical appointments. Your
doctor can go over symptoms,
review medications,
discuss test results and recommend
treatment, much
like an in person visit.
Does Medicare
cover it?
Yes, Medicare does cover
many telehealth services.
While telehealth has been
part of Medicare for years,
it was expanded signifi cantly
during the COVID 19 pandemic
so people could safely
get care from home. Those
expanded benefi ts are still in
place today.
Right now, Medicare allows
you to receive telehealth
services from home
no matter where you live.
Covered visits include a wide
range of care, such as reviewing
lab results, managing
prescriptions, routine checkups,
preventive screenings
and even evaluating minor
illnesses like colds, coughs
or infections. In many cases,
follow up visits and ongoing
care for chronic conditions
can also be handled this way.
Another big plus is fl exibility.
If you are not comfortable
with video or do not have
internet access, some telehealth
visits can still be done
using just a regular phone
call. And it is not limited to
your primary doctor. Many
types of health care providers
can off er telehealth services.
Whatâ€™s
ahead?
Hereâ€™s where things get a
little uncertain. The expanded
telehealth coverage that
began during the pandemic
is not permanent, at least
not yet.
Under current law, these
broader telehealth benefi ts
are set to continue through
Dec. 31, 2027. After that,
Medicare will likely scale
back coverage to more limited
rules unless Congress
steps in and extends the
changes.
Even so, some telehealth
services are expected to continue
long term. Mental and
behavioral health care, diabetes
education, nutrition
therapy and certain dialysis
related visits should still be
covered. Audio-only phone
visits for mental health care
are also expected to remain
available.
If you are curious about
telehealth, start by calling
your doctorâ€™s offi ce and asking
what options they off er.
They can guide you through
the process and help you feel
comfortable before your fi rst
appointment.
It may feel unfamiliar at
fi rst, but many people fi nd
that once they try telehealth,
itâ€™s a simple and convenient
way to stay on top of their
health, especially when getting
to appointments is diffi
cult.

said House Speaker Ron Mariano

why this legislation is so important,
as it takes steps to ensure
that all residents in Massachusetts
are treated equally under
state law, and to protect our
communities through practical,
thoughtful measures.
â€œThe passage of the PROTECT
Act sends a clear message that
Massachusetts will continue to
stand for fairness, due process
and human dignity,â€ said Sen.
Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). â€œNo
parent should fear taking their
child to school, seeking medical
care or appearing in court because
of fear. As someone who
immigrated as a child, I know
fi rsthand what it means when
a state keeps its promise that if
you work hard and contribute
to your community, opportunity
should never be out of reach.
Today, we reaffi rm that Massachusetts
remains a place where
opportunity is earned through
hard work, not denied because
of fear.â€
â€œI voted â€˜Noâ€™ because I feel like
this bill inappropriately ties the
hands of the police offi cers and
sheriff s who put themselves in
danger every day to keep our
communities safe,â€ said Rep. Joe
McKenna (R-Sutton). â€œRestricting
basic communication and with
federal authorities and limiting
advance notice when violent offenders,
including those convicted
of serious crimes, are being
released back into our neighborhoods
is not sound public service
strategy and further drives
a wedge between states and the
Federal Government. Additionally,
I am concerned that much of
the bill is simply unenforceable
as written given the Supremacy
clause. Ultimately, I feel that
a cooperative and communicative
position with ICE is more
productive than deepening the
mistrust and adversarial relationship
we have. Massachusetts
families deserve police who can
work for public safety, which unfortunately
this unworkable law
does not do.â€
â€œI voted against the PROTECT
Act because the bill is prioritizing
illegal immigrants in our
communities over lawful residents,â€

BANNING SCHOOL AND PUBLIC
LIBRARY BOOKS AND MATERIALS
(H 5489)
House 156-1, Senate on a
voice vote without a roll call,
approved and sent to the governor
a bill that supporters said
would protect peopleâ€™s access
to library materials and guard
against politically motivated
book bans in Bay State school libraries
and public libraries. The
bill requires local policies to be
developed using nationally recognized
library standards and
lays out a process around challenges
to library materials. The
measure also protects librarians
and school library professionals
from retaliation.
Provisions include ensuring
that students have free and
open access to library books and
other school library materials by
establishing clear standards for
library teachers and other employees
to follow as they select
school library materials; requiring
that school library materials
be age-appropriate, serve an educational
purpose and be chosen
based on a teacher or employeeâ€™s
professional trainingâ€”
leaving aside any of their own
personal, political or doctrinal
views that could aff ect whether
or not they place the book
on the shelf; requiring all school
districts, charter schools and local
education agencies to adopt
their own policies on how to select
library materials as long as
the policies align with American
Library Association standards;
guarding against spurious or unfounded
challenges to school library
books by keeping a book
in question on the shelves unless
and until a public hearing
process has taken place and the
appropriate authority has voted
to remove it; and protecting
school employees and public
librarians from professional,
civil or criminal penalties based
on their selection of library materials.
â€œThe
bill we send to the governorâ€™s
desk today is a bold statement
against the dystopian attempts
to ban books in our
schools and public libraries,â€
said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Provincetown),
the lead Senate sponsor
of the bill. â€œMassachusetts is
not immune from politically motivated
attempts at censorship,
and violent threats against librarians
have brought real harm
to our communities. With this
legislation, we safeguard everyoneâ€™s
right to intellectual discovery,
while protecting the people
who make our libraries and
schools such vibrant places of
curiosity and possibility.â€
â€œLibraries are among the last
truly open spaces where every
person can discover new ideas,
encounter diff erent perspectives
and see themselves refl ected in
the stories that shape our communities,â€
said Sen. Jake Oliveira
(D-Ludlow). â€œThis legislation
protects the freedom to read by
ensuring that decisions about library
collections are guided by
professional expertise, not political
pressure or personal ideology.
At a time when intellectual
freedom is increasingly being
challenged, Massachusetts is
reaffi rming that access to knowledge,
diverse viewpoints and
free expression are essential to
a healthy democracy.â€
â€œ[The bill] makes it more diffi
cult for school committees to
challenge book selections made
by librarians, especially regarding
LGBT+ type books that are
usually so explicit that they cannot
be read in public meetings
or even on YouTube without
being age restricted,â€ Said Rep.
John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only
legislator to vote against the
measure. â€œThis is not about banning
books as they are all available
in a multitude of locations,
especially the public library. This
is about protecting youth from
explicit material, regardless of
the topic.â€
A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill. A
â€œNoâ€ vote is against it.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes
ABORTION (H 5595)
House 119-35, Senate on a
voice vote without a roll call, approved
and sent to Gov. Healey
legislation that would loosen restrictions
on abortions that can
be performed after 24 weeks of
gestation. The bill removes existing
requirements that limit abortions
at 24 weeks of pregnancy
or later to four specifi c medical
circumstances, and instead
allows licensed physicians and
providers to rely on their best
medical judgment when caring
for patients.
Supporters said that under
current law, the four specifi c categories
do not account for the
full spectrum of medical conditions
encountered by women
and their doctors: protecting the
patientâ€™s life or physical or mental
health, or cases involving a lethal
fetal anomaly or a grave fetal
diagnosis.
â€œNo family should have to
leave Massachusetts to receive
the vital medical care their own
doctors recommend, especially
in the most heartbreaking moments
of a pregnancy,â€ said Sen.
Joan Lovely (D-Salem). â€œWith this
vote, the Senate makes clear that
these deeply personal decisions
belong to patients and the physicians
who know them best.â€
â€œAs the Trump Administration
ramps up attacks on reproductive
care and abortion access nationwide,
Massachusetts must
continue closing gaps in care so
that women have full autonomy
over the care they need, when
and where they need it,â€ said
Sen. Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester).
â€œ[The bill] ensures Massachusetts
patients do not have
to leave the commonwealth to
get the care they need, and empowers
physicians to support
their patients throughout their
pregnancies.â€
â€œThroughout relentless attacks
on reproductive rights,
Massachusetts has prioritized
the fundamental rights and
health care of its residents,â€ said
Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville),
House sponsor of the bill.
â€œThis bill continues that work. It
ensures access to care by empowering
physicians to use their
professional judgment to make
decisions in the best interest of
their patients. Pregnancy is complex,
and this bill eliminates barriers
and guarantees medical expertise
as the standard of care.
It comes down to a simple, but
powerful conviction: decisions
about abortion care must remain
between a patient and
their provider. No one else. With
todayâ€™s vote, we show our commitment
to protecting the rights
of our residents of the commonwealth.â€
Opponents
said the legislation
allows elective abortions up
to birth based solely on a physicianâ€™s
professional judgment.
They said it eliminates the current
requirement that complex
late-term abortions be performed
in a hospital setting, thus
allowing abortions on healthy
mothers and healthy infants at a
stage when unborn children can
feel pain and may be able to survive
outside the womb.
â€œLate-term abortions present
a number of signifi cant risks to
women, which is why the procedures
have long been performed
in hospitals,â€ said Myrna
Maloney Flynn, president of
Massachusetts Citizens for Life.
â€œThere is one reason why proabortion
activists want to remove
hospitals from abortion
policy, and it has nothing to do
with womenâ€™s care or safety. Not
one legislator who voted for this
has been brave enough to acknowledge
the truth, the inconvenient
fact that this bill allows
heinous dismemberment
abortions on perfectly healthy
and viable babies. It is accepted
science that an unborn babyâ€™s
nervous system is developed
enough at 24 weeks of pregnancy
so that the baby can feel
pain. By passing this bill, Massachusetts
lawmakers have decided
that an abortionist can crush
the skull of any infant then tear
that baby apart, limb by limb.â€
â€œThis bill, pushed by radical
pro-abortion activist groups like
Planned Parenthood, is a dangerous
attempt to remove virtually
all remaining protections
in the commonwealth for unborn
babies,â€ said the Massachusetts
Family Institute in a press
release. â€œIt allows abortion past
24 weeks with no requirement
of medical justifi cation, meaning
abortions could be performed at
full term, just days before natural
birth, for any reason or no reason
at all.â€
The release continued, â€œIn addition,
current law requires lateterm
abortions to be performed
in a hospital â€” recognition that
a procedure this serious, at this
stage of pregnancy, demands
a hospitalâ€™s resources and safeguards.
This bill eliminates that
requirement. A late-term abortion
could legally be performed
anywhere a provider chooses,
with none of the protections a
hospital setting is meant to guarantee.
This is not healthcare â€”
this is a direct attack on the dignity
of life.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill. A
â€œNoâ€ vote is against it.)

PROTECT THE PRESS WITH A
SHIELD LAW (S 3200)
Senate 40-0, approved an
amendment creating the Press
Shield Law that would prohibit
government bodies from compelling
journalists to reveal their
sources, except in certain limited
circumstances and only with
clear and convincing evidence
that the source disclosure is necessary
and there is an overriding
public interest in the disclosure.
â€œAs Trump and his Administration
accelerate and intensify
their attacks on journalism
and sources are increasingly
afraid to speak up, the Massachusetts
Senate takes an historic
stand to strengthen our free
press and fortify our democracy,â€
said sponsor Sen. Becca
Rausch (D-Needham). â€œThe need

for a statutory press shield law
in our commonwealth has never
been more urgent. By passing
this legislation, we show the federal
government and our constituents
that we will defend the

cannot survive.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill.)

NOW YOU CAN BUY MASS
LOTTERY TICKETS ONLINE â€”
The Lottery has launched Mass
Lottery Online, featuring a variety
of both new and old games
that registered players age 21 or
older can play on the Mass Lottery
app and website on a mobile
device, computer or tablet.
Profits generated from online
sales will be used to fund a grant
program to support early childhood
education and care.
â€œThe launch of our online platform
marks an exciting new
chapter for the Lottery as we
continue to evolve and meet the
needs of todayâ€™s players,â€ said
State Treasurer Deb Goldberg,
chair of the Massachusetts State
Lottery Commission. â€œOnline
Lottery will allow us to compete
on a more level playing fi eld in
the stateâ€™s gaming marketplace
and sales will help make childcare
more aff ordable for families
across Massachusetts.â€
â€œSince selling our fi rst ticket in
1972, the Mass Lottery has become
one of the top performing
lotteries in the world thanks to
our exciting portfolio of games,
attractive prize payouts, innovative
business and marketing
strategies and of course, our
dedicated retail partners and
loyal player base,â€ said Mark William
Bracken, executive director
of the Mass Lottery. â€œIn creating
Mass Lottery Online, we took a
similar approach that gives our
players new play experiences
with the same standards they
have grown to expect, wherever
in Massachusetts they find
themselves to be.â€
Several popular draw-based
games, now sold only at retail
stores, will be available for purchase
online including Mass
Cash, Megabucks, Mega Millions,
Powerball and Millionaire
for Life. Several games remain
available only for retail purchase
including traditional Keno, The
Numbers Game and The Wheel
of Luck.
Mass Lottery Online is also
introducing 20 new eInstant
Games which are digital games
featuring cascading or tumbling
symbols that result in instant
winning experiences when a
cluster of symbols match. Other
play styles include key number
match and fi nd the symbol.
To play Mass Lottery games
online, players must be 21 or older
and physically located in Massachusetts
at the time of play
and must make a deposit to their
account. Players need to have
a Mass Lottery Player Account,
which can be created at masslottery.com
or by downloading
the Mass Lottery App on a mobile
device or tablet. Registration
requires a full nine-digit Social
Security number along with
playerâ€™s legal full name, date of
birth, residential address and
other standard information.
The Lottery has implemented
numerous features to its online
platform which it says will promote
responsible play. As a required
step in the registration
process, players will be informed
of the option of setting personalized
deposit and play limits
and instructed how to do so if
desired. Players who have not
set limits will continue to be notifi
ed of this option on a monthly
basis. At any time, players will
be able to adjust their personal
limits. Stricter limits take eff ect
immediately, while any increase
requires a 48-hour period, helping
prevent impulsive behavior.
Online players will be able to
opt for a cooling-off period that
will prevent them from being
able to make a deposit or place
a bet or receive direct marketing
communications from the
Lottery, for a set period of time,
ranging from 24 hours to up to
six months. Players also will have
the ability to directly opt-in to
PlayBreak, the voluntary self-exclusion
program, for one-, threeor
fi ve-year periods, or for a lifetime
exclusion.
To assist in the prevention of
underage access to registered
accounts, multi-factor authentication
for all players will be required
at their fi rst login on a
daily basis. Multi-factor authentication
will also be required
when logging in from a new device.
All devices must be verifi ed
through the playerâ€™s registered
email or phone, and players will
only be able to be signed in to
their account on one device at
any given time.
ALCOHOL DONATIONS FOR
CHARITIES (H 5351) â€” The House
gave initial approval to legislation
that would allow local licensing
authorities to issue temporary
licenses to charities in order
for the charities to accept donations
of wine, beer and alcohol
for their charitable events.
These licenses were previously
allowed under 1997 legislation,
but the authorization has since
expired.
â€œToday, more than ever, nonprofi
ts are in need of charitable
donations to stay afl oat,â€ said
sponsor Rep. Joan Meschino
(D-Hull). â€œThis bill would allow
for safe and regulated alcohol
licensure for nonprofi ts in order
to raise revenue at charity events
by partnering with alcohol manufacturers,
wholesalers or retailers.
This bill was brought to me
by Deborah Goldberg, the Treasurer
and Receiver General, and
has her full support.
POSTURAL SCREENINGS FOR
STUDENTS (H 2517) â€” The
House approved and sent to the
Senate a proposal amending a
current law that requires every
child in public schools and for
children in private schools, at
the request of their parents or
guardians, to be tested for postural
defects at least once annually
in grades fi ve through nine.
The amendment would reduce
the mandated frequency of testing
to at least once in grades fi ve
through nine.
â€œI filed this bill after learning
from my daughter, a school
nurse, about the impact on students
and staffi ng demands created
by annual postural screenings,â€
said sponsor Rep. Rodney
Elliott (D-Lowell). â€œMany
students are already screened
by their pediatricians or primary
care physicians during routine
physicals, making the annual
school requirement repetitive.
This bill keeps the screening
requirement in place while
giving schools the fl exibility to
conduct it once during grades
six through nine instead of every
year. Itâ€™s a practical update that
allows school nurses to focus
more of their time on studentsâ€™
immediate health needs without
compromising student care.â€
Rep. Sean Reid (D-Lynn), another
sponsor of the bill, did not
respond to repeated attempts
by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
him to comment on the passage
of the measure and explain why
he fi led it.
ALLOW CONSUMERS TO USE
INSURANCE ADJUSTERS (S 785)
â€” The House and Senate, on
voice votes without a roll call,
approved and sent to the governor
legislation that would prohibit
insurance companies from
including in an insurance policy,
a rider that prohibits the insured
from hiring or using a public insurance
adjuster.
â€œAn insured that has paid its
premiums faithfully should have
the choice to hire a public adjuster
qualifi ed to read the policy
and get the claim paid,â€ said
sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem).
â€œBoth branches have now
said plainly that a clause taking
that choice away does not belong
in a Massachusetts insurance
policy.â€

say that legislative sessions are
only one aspect of the Legislatureâ€™s
job and that a lot of important
work is done outside
of the House and Senate chambers.
They note that their jobs
also involve committee work,
research, constituent work and
other matters that are important
to their districts.
Critics say that the Legislature
does not meet regularly
or long enough to debate
and vote in public view on the
thousands of pieces of legislation
that have been fi led. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a
mad rush to act on dozens of
bills in the days immediately
preceding the end of an annual
session,
During the week of July 2731,
the House met for a total of
28 hours and 38 minutes and
the Senate met for a total of 20
