It was previously run by the comhe School Committee opened their meeting on July 23 with members sharing their grief and memories of fellow committee member Anthony Mattera, who died on June 22. School Committee Secretary John Kingston read a Facebook post by a Revere resident that captured much of what the committee and the community was feeling about the loss of Materra. Like others, Caggiano focused on Mattera’s “out of the box” approach to education with special attention paid to his famous egg drops off the roof of Lincoln School. “He gave all he could, the best he could,” read Kingston, who paused when he was overcome by tears. Kingston said Mattera’s example was “to live your life as best you can, be the best you can be.” Other members also expressed their appreciation for Mattera’s work and said he will be missed on the committee. The committee took a moment to congratulate Superintendent Dr. Dianne Kelly, who was honored with the Christos Daoulas award by the Mass. Association of School Superintendents. The award is given to the educator who demonstrates the fi nest attributes of school administration. Kelly said the award was unexpected and humbling. “It fi lls my cup, as elementary school kids would say, it Anthony Mattera Honored by Committee Dr. Dianne Kelly Supt. of Schools fi lls my cup that some of this hard work doesn’t go unnoticed,” said Kelly. The committee also received a brief presentation on a new employee handbook that was overhauled through the lens of equity. The new handbook is for both teachers and staff , because, as Kelly said, it takes both teachers and staff to make the district run and to allow students to succeed.

The mural’s blue background was inspired by the many water sources located near the Suff olk Downs site as well as the creative measures that HYM has implemented to mitigate the eff ects of climate change and rising sea levels. In planning the Suff olk Downs development, HYM commissioned a highly advanced hydraulic model, which informed the inclusion of the site’s fl oodable parks and purposeful infrastructure, designed to embrace many inevitable impacts of climate change. “The addition of Julien Colombier’s mural at Amaya further solidifi es Suff olk Downs as an accessible, sustainable, and dynamic neighborhood that prioritizes art and creativity,” said HYM Managing Partner/ CEO Thomas N. O’Brien. “We are honored that Julien chose to make his United States debut with us in Revere, and we look forward to seeing residents and visitors enjoy Julien’s mural for years to come.” “We are proud to see our vision come to life at the Amaya project, enhancing the Suffolk Downs community with this expansive public art installation,” said National President/ CEO Jeff rey Kanne. “We look forward to the positive impact this mural will have on visitors and residents of Amaya.” “The inspiration for this work was the rich variety of local flowers and how to express them artistically, while harmoniously adapting to the architecture as the canvas for this giant painting. For this project I wanted to consider viewers from various distances, and fi nding the right scale was essential to create something vibrant and groovy, yet still poetic.” said Colombier. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with HYM, a visionary team that truly understands the profound value of art and culture in creating memorable spaces,” said Justkids Founder/Director Charlotte Duoit. “Julien’s design perfectly captures the essence of the surrounding area, infusing it with a local fl air that invites people to connect, experience and come back!” First move-ins at Amaya, which was developed in partnership by National and HYM, began in June, with leasing for the property managed by Bozzuto. Amaya features over 34,000 square feet of state-ofthe-art amenities and 24,000 square feet of dynamic groundlevel retail off erings. Situated in Beachmont Square, residents will be connected to a lively community hub of neighborhood retail, open space and civic spaces within the vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood serving as a gateway to all of Suffolk Downs.

The FY25 conference committee report maintains fi scal responsibility while delivering historic levels of investment in every level of education, transportation regional equity, workforce development and health care, refl ecting the Legislature’s ongoing commitment to delivering on aff ordability for residents and economic competitiveness for the Commonwealth. “At the start of this legislative session I called for a ‘Student Opportunity Plan’ that would build on our landmark Student Opportunity Act and expand access to quality public education to all our residents from cradle to career.

Thank you to my Senate and House conferees, and House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz for his determination, resolve, and partnership to get the job done and produce a responsible budget we can all be proud of. I also thank all my colleagues in the Senate, whose advocacy, collaboration, and dedication helped to inform and shape this comprehensive budget plan.

I want to thank Speaker Mariano for his leadership during this budget process, as well as my fellow House conferees, Representative Ferrante and Representative Smola.

I am thankful for the partnership and advocacy of Representative Turco and Senator Edwards in bringing this funding home.” “The FY25 budget is a values statement. I am honored to have supported a budget that contains the largest investment in our educational system in the Commonwealth’s history. In addition, working with my colleague, Rep. Giannino, the final budget contains significant funding for important programs in Revere. This budget confi rms that teamwork benefi ts Revere,” said Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D. Winthrop). “This FY25 budget is a testament to our commitment to equity and opportunity for all residents of Massachusetts. With unprecedented investments in education, transportation, and health care, we are laying the foundation for a more inclusive and prosperous future. I am particularly proud of the provisions that address regional disparities and enhance access to quality public education from early childcare through community college, and water transportation for our constituents. Ensuring that every resident has the tools they need to succeed is paramount. I am grateful to my colleagues in the Legislature, especially Rep. Giannino and Rep. Turco, for their dedication, collaborative spirit, and partnership in crafting a budget that truly refl ects the values and needs of our diverse Commonwealth,” said Senator Lydia Edwards (D-Boston). The FY25 budget recommends a total of $58 billion in spending, a $2 billion increase over the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) General Appropriations Act (GAA). This spending recommendation is based on a tax revenue estimate of $41.5 billion for FY25, which is $208 million less than revenues assumed in the FY24 GAA. This represents nearly fl at growth, as agreed upon during the consensus revenue process in January, plus $1.3 billion in revenue generated from the Fair Share surtax. As the Commonwealth adjusts to a changing economic landscape and ongoing tax revenue volatility, the FY25 budget adheres to disciplined and responsible fi scal stewardship. It does not raise taxes, nor does it draw down available reserves from the stabilization fund or the transitional escrow fund, while at the same time judicially utilizing one-time resources to maintain balance. The FY25 budget continues responsible and sustainable fi scal planning for the future by continuing to grow the Rainy Day Fund, already at a historic high of over $8 billion, to an anticipated balance of roughly $9 billion at the close of FY25. Fair Share Investments to Grow Our Economy Consistent with the consensus revenue agreement reached with the HealeyDriscoll Administration in January, the FY25 budget includes $1.3 billion in revenues generated from the Fair Share surtax of four percent on annual income above $1 million and invests these public dollars to improve the state’s education and transportation sectors. Notable Fair Share education and transportation investment highlights include: Education: 59% of Fair Share Revenues • $170 million to fully fund universal free school meals programming for every public-school student in the Commonwealth. • $175 million for the Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) program to provide monthly grants to early education and care programs, which is matched with $300 million in funds from the new Early Education and Care Operational Grant Fund and the High-Quality Early Education and Care Aff ordability Fund for a total investment of $475 million. • $117.5 million for MassEducate to provide free community college across the Commonwealth. • $80 million to expand fi nancial aid programs for in-state students attending state universities through MASSGrant Plus, which is in addition to the $175.9 million for scholarships funded through the General Fund. • $65 million for early education and care provider rate increases, to increase salaries for our early educators. • $20 million for early literacy initiatives. • $14 million for grants to State Universities to provide wraparound supports and services. • $5 million for the CPPI PreK Initiative, matching $17.5 million in funds from the general fund, for a total of $22.5 million to support the expansion of universal prekindergarten, including in Gateway Cities. Transportation: 41% of Fair Share Revenues • $250 million for the Commonwealth Transportation Fund (CTF), which will leverage additional borrowing capacity of the CTF and increase investments in transportation infrastructure by $1.1 billion over the next 5 years.

Caggiano suggested that if there is greater emphasis on academics in Revere, fewer students would apply to Northeast Metro Tech. Caggiano is running again for a seat on Northeast Metro Tech’s School Committee and will be on the ballot this November. Revere School Committee member Aisha Milbury-Ellis echoed Caggiano’s concern that the district’s goals don’t include fundamentals, such as academics, improved MCAS scores, higher graduation rates and decreasing absenteeism. Kelly said the formative evaluation was based on six goals that were taken from a community meeting of parents, teachers and students. “I agree on a stronger focus on academics,” she said, adding that there have been huge gains in academic performance among certain groups of students. She said it is soon time to hold another community-wide meeting to set goals for a new fi ve-year plan for the district. Joint meeting brings Sannella back to school board The City Council and the School Committee held a joint meeting on July 22 to approve former School Committee member Frederick Sannella’s appointment to fi ll the remaining term of committee member Anthony “Tony” Mattera, who died last month. Vacancies on the School Committee are fi lled by the defeated candidate with the most votes from the previous election — who must be approved by the council and the committee. Sanella lost the sixth seat on the committee in the 2023 municipal election with 2,304 votes to Mattera’s 2,337 votes. “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Revere for taking a look at an old warhorse,” said Sannella, who promised to serve to the best of his ability. Prior to serving on the School Committee, Sanella was an elementary teacher at the Lincoln School and an assistant principal at the Whalen School.

Education: Early Education and Care, K-12 and Higher Education The FY25 budget supports students across the full spectrum of the Commonwealth’s education system, shaping polices to make high-quality education more accessible and by making signifi cant investments in the education system, from our youngest learners to adults. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024 To create a new funding source for EEC initiatives, the budget allows the Massachusetts Lottery to sell its products online. A portion of the new revenue collected from online lottery sales, estimated to be $100 million in FY25, would fund C3 grants, which provide long-term stability for highquality and aff ordable care for families. The budget report delivers signifi cant levels of investment in education, including: • $6.9 billion in Chapter 70 funding, an increase of $317 million over FY24, as well as increasing minimum Chapter 70 aid from $30 to $104 per pupil, delivering an additional $37 million in resources to school districts across the state. • Over $1.55 billion investment in the early education and care sector, including: • $475 million for the Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) grants. • FY25 is the second fi scal year in a row which the annual state budget includes a full year of funding for C3 grants, signaling a historic commitment to maintain this crucial lifeline for our early education and care sector. • The FY25 budget also makes the C3 program permanent, while including provisions to direct more funds from the C3 program to early education and programs that serve children receiving childcare subsidies from the state and youth with high needs. • $117.5 million for free community college across the Commonwealth, covering tuition and fees for students. • $493.2 million for the special education (SPED) circuit breaker. • $99.5 million to reimburse school districts for regional school transportation costs, representing an 85 per cent reimbursement rate. • $18.5 million for Head Start grants. • $16 million for rural school aid assistance. • $6 million for Social Emotional Learning Grants to help K-12 schools continue to bolster social emotional learning supports for students, including $1 million to provide mental health screenings for K-12 students. to support • $5 million for grants to support implementation of the Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Higher Education law, including $3 million for grants offered through the Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment initiative to help high school students with intellectual disabilities ages 18— 22 access higher education opportunities; and $2 million for the Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Trust Fund. • $3 million for genocide education grants to facilitate teaching students the history of genocide. • $1 million for hate crimes prevention grants to support the prevention of hate crimes in public schools. The FY25 budget codifies several provisions that transforms the early education sector by improving aff ordability and access for families, increasing pay for early educators, and ensuring the sustainability and quality of early education and care programs. In K-12 education, the FY25 budget follows through on the Legislature’s commitment to fully fund and implement the Student Opportunity Act (SOA) by Fiscal Year 2027, investing $6.9 billion in Chapter 70 funding, an increase of $319 million over FY24, as well as increasing minimum Chapter 70 aid from $30 to $104 per pupil, delivering an additional $37 million in resources to school districts across the state. With these investments, the Legislatures continues to provide crucial support to school districts confronting the increasing cost pressures that come with delivering high-quality education to all students. In addition to the record levels of investment in early education and K-12, the FY25 budget removes barriers to accessing public higher education by codifying into law MassEducate, a $117.5 million investment in universal free community college program that covers tuition and fees for residents, aimed at supporting economic opportunity, workforce development, and opening the door to higher education for people who may never have had access. The FY25 budget permanently enshrines free community college into law in an affordable and sustainable manner across the Commonwealth, while leaving no federal dollars on the table. Health, Mental Health and Family Care Investments in the FY25 budget allow more than two million people to receive continued access to aff ordable and comprehensive health care services. Health care investments include: • $20.36 billion fo r MassHealth, representing the largest investment made in the state budget. • $2.9 billion for a range of services and focused supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. • $622.4 million for Department of Mental Health (DMH) adult support services. • $625 million for nursing facility Medicaid rates, including $40 million in additional base rate payments to maintain competitive wages in the Commonwealth’s nursing facility workforce. • $390 million for Chapter 257 rates to support directcare providers across the continuum of care. • $212.7 million for a complete range of substance use disorder treatment and intervention services. • $131.4 million for children’s mental health services. • $33.8 million for Family Resource Centers to grow and improve the mental health resources and programming available to families. • $30.9 million for Early Intervention services, ensuring supports remain accessible and available to infants and young toddlers with de׉ 7cassandra://t-6qaAmdCDo4sdBq4JLuNkETG13vJ0YF_ZVzEys9LJQ&`̰fo?6׉ETHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024 Page 9 velopmental delays and disabilities. • $29.6 million for grants to local Councils on Aging to increase assistance per elder to $15 from $14 in FY 2024. • $27.9 million for family and adolescent health, including $9.2 million for comprehensive family planning services and $6.7 million to enhance federal Title X family planning funding. • $20 million to recapitalize the Behavioral Health, Access, Outreach and Support Trust Fund to support targeted behavioral health initiatives. • $14.7 million for maternal and child health, including $10.4 million for pediatric palliative care services for terminally ill children and a policy adjustment to ensure that children up to age 22 can continue to be served through the program. • $5.5 million for Children Advocacy Centers to provide critical supports available to children that have been neglected or sexually abused. • $2 million for grants for improvements in reproductive health access, infrastructure, and safety. The FY25 budget, for the fi rst time in Massachusetts’ history, allows an individual to be identifi ed with a non-binary ‘X’ sex designation on their birth certifi cate and enshrine into law the current practice of allowing an individual to select a non-binary ‘X’ gender designation on their driver’s license. This step ensures that all residents—including trans and nonbinary people—can secure government documents that accurately reflect who they are. Additionally, the FY25 budget recognizes that the cost of fertility preservation should not be a barrier to starting a family for Massachusetts residents with cancer or other serious medical conditions. It therefore requires health insurance carriers to cover fertility preservation treatments for individuals who have a medical diagnosis or who are going through medical treatments that may impact fertility. It also includes coverage for the procurement, cryopreservation, and storage of gametes, embryos, or other reproductive tissue. Housing The FY25 budget invests $1.15 billion in housing, dedicating resources for housing stability, residential assistance, emergency shelter services, and homelessness assistance programs, ensuring the state deploys a humane, responsible, and sustainable approach to providing families and individuals in need with an access point to secure housing. The budget prioritizes relief for families and individuals who continue to face challenges brought on by the pandemic and fi nancial insecurity, including $326.1million for Emergency Assistance Family Shelters, in addition to the $175 million in resources passed in the recent supplemental budget, to place the Commonwealth’s shelter system on a fi scal glidepath into FY25. Housing investments include: • $231.7 million for the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), including $12.5 million in funds carried forward from FY24. • $197.4 million for Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT). • $113 million for assistance to local housing authorities. • $110.8 million for assistance for individuals experiencing homelessness. • $57.3 million for the HomeBASE program. • $27 million for the Alternative Housing Voucher Program (AHVP), including $10.7 million in funds carried forward from FY24, to provide rental assistance to people with disabilities. • $10.5 million for assistance for unaccompanied homeless youth. • $10.5 million for Housing Consumer Education Centers (HCECs). • $8.9 million for sponsorbased supportive permanent housing. • $8.9 million for the Home and Healthy for Good rehousing and supportive services program, including funding to support homeless LGBTQ+ youth. The FY25 budget includes important consumer protections, including ending the practice of home equity theft, a practice where cities, towns, and even private companies can foreclose on a home for taxes owed, sell it, and pocket the profi ts. With this crucial step, the Legislature strikes a balance to ensure equity is returned to homeowners and taxpayers, while municipalities will be made a whole and protected moving forward. Expanding and Protecting Economic Opportunities The budget includes a record investment in the annual child’s clothing allowance, providing $500 per child for eligible families to buy clothes for the upcoming school year. The budget also includes a 10 per cent increase to Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) and Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC) benefit levels compared to June 2024. Other economic opportunity investments include: • $496.2 million for Transitional Assistance to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) and $183.2 million for Emergency Aid to Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC) to provide the necessary support as caseloads increase, and continue the Deep Poverty increases. • $59.8 million for adult basic education services to improve access to skills necessary to join the workforce. • $42.4 million for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program. • $15 million in Healthy Incentives Programs to maintain access to healthy food options for households in need. • $10.4 million for Career Technical Institutes to increase our skilled worker population and provide residents access to career technical training opportunities. • $10 million for the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund to connect unemployed and under-employed workers with higher paying jobs. • $10 million for a community empowerment and reinvestment grant program to provide economic support to communities disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system. • $5.4 million for the Innovation Pathways program to continue to connect students to training and postsecondary opportunities in STEM fi elds. Community Support The FY25 budget further demonstrates the Legislature’s commitment to partnerships between the state and municipalities, dedicating meaningful resources that touch all regions and meet the needs of communities across the Commonwealth. This includes $1.3 billion in funding for Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA), an increase of $38 million over FY24, to support additional resources for cities and towns. In addition to traditional sources of local aid, the FY25 budget includes the following local and regional equity investments: • $204 million for Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) to support regional public transportation systems, including $110 million from Fair Share funds to support our RTAs that help to connect all regions of our Commonwealth. • $53 million for payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for state-owned land, an increase of $1.5 million over FY24. PILOT funding is an additional source of supplemental local aid for cities and towns working to protect and improve access to essential services and programs during recovery from the pandemic. • $52.4 million for libraries, including $19 million for regional library local aid, $20 million for municipal libraries and $6.2 million for technology and automated resource networks. • $26.9 million for the Massachusetts Cultural Council to support local arts, culture, and creative economic initiatives. Having passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, the FY25 budget now moves to the Governor’s desk for her consideration. ׉ 7cassandra://4jN74yOOq_AirKYyYA5yVSJQFl0hWKOigAHXO9CxMbk%`̰fo?6fo?6 PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://yXx00c1gFWw2FRYDLelkMlMjCdR8bppdXv0iaRyPN7IM`)׉ 7cassandra://s8ZXNdIrsWBJLUXtT5WR41h5DPhUWgCO20PSnBZwkoQ͊`J׉ 7cassandra://AWSkrprzojSuP3IVMU3s74n3eQ5mnLH3WmbBeAd5aas.`̰fr?6ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://PkYB16kgRxpoz0vR64JpUT74VTK6nVtFsSXguPsdLyw`)׉ 7cassandra://MzDWIN9Sq-SqUCqxvbVHEAjMesf3tURLJCKlEt3sjjg͘)`J׉ 7cassandra://Sviz49YJ2_hcudoPqTBA8di3MeEyU3_mTvmAv0F-fiM0`̰fs?6‘נfs?6ŁG]%9ׁHmailto:Tonys9942@aol.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024 Revere celebrates 200 years of Peru’s independence with cultural dance and dress The Peruvian fl ag waved in the wind.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Sponsors Free Bluebikes Day Passes on “Mindful Mondays” during National Wellness Month M assachusetts’ largest health plan creates opportunities for physical exercise via Metro Boston’s public bike share system to boost mental wellbeing every Monday in August BOSTON (August 1, 2024) — In recognition of National Wellness Month, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (“Blue Cross”) is launching its fourth annual “Mindful Mondays” initiative by offering free Bluebikes Day Passes every Monday in August, starting August 5. This initiative aims to highlight the positive impact mindfulness activities like biking can have on one’s overall health and wellbeing. The free Day Passes are accessible across Bluebikes’ 13 municipalities, including Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Newton, Revere, Salem, Somerville, and Watertown. As the title sponsor of Bluebikes, Blue Cross is dedicated to fostering community well-being and mental health. The system is municipally owned and operated under contract by Lyft. Riders can take advantage of free Day Passes on each “Mindful Monday” by entering the applicable code on the Bluebikes App. Each code will unlock one free Day Pass, which includes unlimited complimentary two-hour pedal bike rides during a 24hour period, and free ebike unlocks. Riders can also upgrade to ebike rides for an additional per minute fee. The codes for each Monday are as follows: — August 5: BLUECROSS05 — August 12: BLUECROSS12 — August 19: BLUECROSS19 — August 26: BLUECROSS26 Research underscores the mental health benefi ts of biking. A Healthline report highlights that biking fosters stable mindfulness and alleviates stress, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, a study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) reveals that outdoor biking enhances cognitive functioning and overall well-being, particularly among older adults. “This National Wellness Month, we emphasize the critical role of mental health in overall well-being,” said Jeff Bellows, vice president of corporate citizenship and public aff airs at Blue Cross. “For the fourth consecutive year, our ‘Mindful Mondays’ initiative is committed to nurturing both mental and physical health across Greater Boston. We encourage residents and visitors to harness the benefi ts of a Bluebikes ride and enhance their health by getting outdoors.” Blue Cross has served as Bluebikes’ title sponsor since May 2018 and remains committed to supporting and extending public bike sharing in Greater Boston as a safe, sustainable and accessible public transportation option through its partnership with the municipal owners of Bluebikes and Lyft. In the six years of Blue Cross’ sponsorship, the system has doubled in size, adding more than 200 stations, 400 pedal bikes and, most recently, 750 nextgeneration ebikes to its fl eet. Last December, Blue Cross announced its title sponsorship extension through 2031. ׉ 7cassandra://r2IisJuMh8fXzHT01CinPOjbkFfRQSANGO1oROf2XRQ.`̰fo?6׉E5THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024 Page 13 Point of Pines Yacht Club Celebrates Blessing of the Fleet By Melissa Moore-Randall U nder an ominous July sky, the Point of Pines Yacht Club (POPYC) celebrated their annual Blessing of the Fleet event.

Maura Healey a bill that would invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The measure authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and $400 million in anticipated federal funds. “Today the Legislature is investing in a safer, more effi cient and modernized digital experience for residents and state employees alike,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Our technology infrastructure is a lynchpin for nearly every service and resource our state delivers, and enhancing it is a fundamental step toward increasing access and creating systems that work for everyone.” “I am immensely proud of the dedication and eff ort demonstrated … to bring this report to fruition,” said Rep. Marcus Vaughn (R-Wrentham). “This achievement stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. By working together, we have shown our shared commitment to serving the best interests of the commonwealth.” “Government spending is wildly out of control and it’s fi scally irresponsible to keep passing these boondoggle bills,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick), one of only two members to vote against the measure. “We need to reduce spending and taxes in order to lower the cost of living in the commonwealth. The path we’re on is unsustainable and will lead to more businesses and taxpayers fl eeing the state.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H 4890) House 152-5, Senate 38-2, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a bill, named the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, in honor of the fi rst woman to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The measure also would require employers with 100 or more employees to fi le annual employment data reports, including information salaries, with the state. “The 2016 Equal Pay Act was a huge step forward in closing pay gaps and it worked,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “One study from 2020 showed salary history bans alone increased pay by as much as 5 percent increase for all job changers, an 8 percent increase for women and a 13 percent increase for Black workers. This bill takes the next steps in providing more information for job seekers and ensuring that women and people of color enter wage negotiations with more information at their fingertips to secure better offers. With the data collected we’ll learn about inequities that persist and be able to identify ways to solve them.” “True progress towards justice and equality demands that we not only acknowledge the critical importance of wage equity, particularly for women and people of color, but actively strive to achieve it,” said Rep. Brandy Fluker Oakley (D-Mattapan). “By achieving wage equity, we empower individuals and strengthen our communities, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to a more equitable future.” “I voted ‘no’ on the wage transparency bill because this is just another burden being unfairly placed on small businesses,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “The National Federation of Independent Businesses wanted the threshold to be 100 or more. Small businesses will inevitably be unaware of this law and receive fi nes and penalties that are signifi cant, even though they’re not operating with malicious intent. Massachusetts is already an increasingly diffi cult state to operate a business and this well-intentioned bill will only make it more diffi cult.” “Burdensome regulations and taxes already make Massachusetts one of the least friendly states in the country to run a business,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick). “In addition to the cost of compliance, DEI policies, such as so-called salary transparency mandates, crush innovation and stifl e talent development. This bill is just the latest attempt to advance a toxic ideology that is destroying free market enterprise. Beacon Hill is killing small businesses.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes DOG KENNEL SAFETY — OLLIE’S LAW (H 4919) House 159-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. Requirements include, obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifi cations, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels. They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every nine to ten days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families in Massachusetts have suff ered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been avoided by commonsense regulations over these facilities. “I fi led this bill on behalf of my constituent, Amy Baxter, whose 7-month-old puppy was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in my district,” said Rep. Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow). “Sadly, Ollie eventually succumbed to his many injuries. People assume these facilities are regulated by the state and have safety protocols in place. Many already do, however, far too many do not, leaving animals and staff at risk. I and the Coalition that was formed, wanted to do everything possible to prevent these types of situations from occurring again. I am proud of this legislation and know it will make a diff erence in the lives of pets and consumers.“ (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHER ANIMALS (H 4915) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that eff ective January 1, 2025, would ban elephants, bears, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and other wild animals from being used in traveling circuses and other traveling shows in Massachusetts where they would be used to perform tricks, give rides or otherwise participate as an accompaniment for the entertainment of a live audience. Violators would be fi ned between $500 and $10,000. The ban would not apply to zoos or to performances that take place at other non-mobile, permanent facilities if the covered animal is a resident animal at the same facility in which the performance takes place. “Massachusetts has long been a leader in promoting animal welfare by enacting laws to protect animals from abuse and neglect, but most of our current laws apply to domestic animals and common household pets,” said co-sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “[The measure] would extend these same protections to exotic animals that are used in traveling exhibits and shows. These animals are often subject to cruel and inhumane treatment, including prolonged periods of confi nement and other forms of neglect and abuse, all to provide entertainment. Several communities in Massachusetts have already implemented local bans, but a statewide ban on traveling animal acts is long overdue.” “I was deeply moved by the compelling evidence and public sentiment against the use of wild animals in traveling acts,” said co-sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “After taking a safari in Africa in 2019 … seeing these animals in their natural state highlighted the unnatural inhumane treatment these animals face in traveling acts. Now, as a sponsor of this legislation, I feel a strong obligation to ensure we bring about signifi cant change. With over two-thirds of Massachusetts voters in favor of banning wild animal acts, it’s clear our constituents desire a future free of animal exploitation for entertainment. This bill, that has fi nally passed the House after 23 years of being fi led, embodies that sentiment, underscoring our commitment to the humane treatment of animals.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes FOSTER HOMES AND DOGS (H 4911) House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that prohibits the Department of Children and Families (DCF) from prohibiting placement of a child in a foster home solely based on the presence of any specifi c breed of dog in the home. Supporters said that currently, DCF is allowed to prohibit placement of a child in a home with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. “Current DCF regulations for foster homes impose a blanket ban on certain breeds of dogs.” said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (DFramingham). “Instead of eliminating countless prospective families, this bill empowers DCF ׉ 7cassandra://PVKhEPdYXAE4E86OiJNnX1OJxrpyb6Okao1R2CP1ei8%k`̰fo?6׉E2TTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024 Page 15 to undertake a holistic review of the family, child and dog to ensure appropriate placement. This bill also amends reporting laws for animal abuse, extending the timeframe in which human services employees or contractors can report animal abuse. “As co-chair of the Protecting Animal Welfare Caucus … I am proud to spearhead the passage of this bill in the House. There is an urgent need for supportive foster families in the commonwealth, and this bill will open many loving homes to adoptive and foster children.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes PHARMACEUTICAL ACCESS, COSTS AND TRANSPARENCY (H 4910) House 158-0, approved a bill that supporters say would make major changes and reforms to the state’s pharmaceutical system by lowering the cost of drugs at the pharmacy counter and improving oversight of the pharmaceutical industry. They said the measure protects patients and independent pharmacists by regulating the pharmacy benefi t manager (PBM) industry; banning many of the industry’s worst business practices; and reducing or eliminating co-pays for certain chronic conditions. “Many folks in Massachusetts face cost barriers in access to the medications they are prescribed, especially for many of our most vulnerable residents who live with chronic disease,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This bill aims to reduce the out-of-pocket cost of certain lifesaving drugs and ban certain business practices that are commonly used by PBMs to increase their own profi ts at the expense of patients.” “[The bill] would go a long way toward helping people in Massachusetts living with diabetes and other chronic conditions by reducing barriers to care, improving access to lifesaving and lifesustaining medication and reducing out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions,” said Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition Board Chair, Hunter Limbaugh. “We are encouraged by its progress and will continue to advocate for our most vulnerable neighbors by working with the Massachusetts Legislature all the way to the governor’s desk.” The Senate has already approved a diff erent version of the bill and a House-Senate conference committee will try to hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes LONG TERM CARE AND ASSISTED LIVING (S 2889) Senate 39-0, approved a bill making changes to the state’s long term care and assisted living industry which supporters said will take “a powerful step towards delivering the high quality and safe care that Massachusetts seniors deserve by substantially strengthening oversight and enforcement while also requiring facilities to create outbreak plans should a health issue arise.” Provisions include allowing assisted living residences to offer basic health services such as helping a resident administer drops, manage their oxygen or take a home diagnostic test; requiring long-term care facilities to produce infection outbreak response plans; requiring the Department of Public Health (DPH) to inspect facilities every nine to 15 months and authorizing it to restrict or revoke licenses when facilities are failing to provide adequate care or not complying with regulations; allowing for a temporary manager to be appointed to bring fl oundering facilities into compliance; raising penalties that the attorney general can impose for the abuse and neglect of patients; and creating an LGBTQ+ bill of rights for aging residents to prohibit discrimination based on their LGBTQ+ identity or HIV status. “Today the Senate took an important step forward to ensure that our aging residents have safe, equitable and high quality care,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “It is far too common—and unacceptable— for residents in assisted living facilities to receive subpar care. By boosting transparency and accountability, the Senate is continuing to create a compassionate commonwealth where all residents can age with dignity.” Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville), Senate Chair of the Committee on Elder Aff airs, said the bill will improve care and stability in nursing homes and assisted living residences. “The pandemic revealed starkly the lack of nursing home preparedness for the spread of fatal diseases,” said Jehlen. “Many of us knew someone or relatives of someone who passed during that disaster.” “Even homes with consistently high ratings lost many residents,” continued Jehlen. “This bill offers measures to address issues in nursing homes and assisted living facilities; issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community when looking for care; bariatric care; and pooled trusts. It also ensures facilities that are not compliant with safe standards face consequences and are held responsible.” The House has already approved a diff erent version of the bill and a conference committee will attempt to hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL HEALEY SIGNS FIREARMS CHANGES (H 4885) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would change some of the state’s gun laws. Provisions include cracking down on untraceable “ghost guns;” banning fi rearms in additional public spaces like schools, polling places and government buildings; expanding the 2018 “red fl ag” law that allows school administrators and licensed health care providers to petition a court to temporarily take firearms away from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others; closing loopholes that allow the modifi cation of legal fi rearms into illegal automatic weapons; and providing a legacy clause so all fi rearms legally owned and registered in Massachusetts as of the eff ective date of the bill will continue to be legal and may be bought and sold within the state. “Massachusetts is proud of our strong gun laws, but there is always more work to be done to keep our communities safe from violence,” said Gov. Healey. “This legislation updates our fi rearms laws in response to the Supreme Court’s misguided Bruen decision. It cracks down on ghost guns and 3-D printed weapons, which I have long advocated for, enhances our ability to prevent guns from falling into dangerous hands and invests in our communities to address the root causes of violence. This law will save lives.” “This legislation refl ects the input of many, including law enforcement officials, community advocates, gun owners and healthcare workers,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “It provides the tools needed to better protect our residents from the epidemic of gun violence and to prevent future tragedies. With support from both chambers and the governor’s signature today, Massachusetts can once again stand proudly by its record as a national leader on gun safety and more importantly, we will save countless lives.” “Massachusetts has taken a huge step forward today towards keeping our communities safer from gun violence,” said Ruth Zakarin, CEO of the MA Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. “There is no one size fi ts all solution to the gun violence crisis that plagues our nation, and we appreciate the comprehensive, multifaceted approach that this bill takes towards ending this epidemic.” RE-ENTRY INTO SOCIETY FOR JAILED PRISONERS (S 2883) — The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would provide a Massachusetts identifi cation card to incarcerated individuals who will soon be released from prison and will be re-entering society. Supporters said the proposal codifi es the Healey administration’s eff orts to provide identifi - cation to citizens returning to society. They noted that many people returning to society will do so without any means of proving who they are, which presents a signifi cant challenge when accessing government assistance programs that help people secure housing, food, employment and various other basic needs. They argued that denying individuals this support is setting them up for failure and making it more likely that they will recidivate. “I am proud to be the lead sponsor of this bill that will give returning citizens access to the services and support they need to move on to the next chapter of their lives and succeed in our state,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “When an individual leaves incarceration, they deserve the chance to provide for themselves and their families without any obstacles in front of them. I am committed to getting this commonsense policy over the fi nish line to ensure we give every Massachusetts resident the opportunity to thrive.” DNA AND STATUTE OR LIMITATIONS (H 4836) — The House gave initial approval to a bill that would amend the law to allow prosecutors to bring rape charges at any time if the perpetrator is identifi ed through DNA evidence collected from a victim. Currently, the 15-year statute of limitations is a barrier to prosecution of serial off enders, as more than 15 years may elapse before a perpetrator is identifi ed through DNA evidence. “By eliminating the statute of limitations when DNA evidence is matched to a perpetrator, this bill will enable more successful prosecution of sexual predators,” said co-sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “I co-fi led this bill … because every survivor of sexual violence deserves justice, and removing this barrier to prosecution will help get dangerous predators off the streets.” “No arbitrary time limit should stand in the way of survivors getting justice for horrific crimes they endure or prevent prosecutors and law enforcement from getting dangerous predators off the streets,” said co-sponsor Rep. Adam Scanlon (D-North Attleborough). “[This] is an important step toward removing that obstacle that currently stands in the way of justice for so many survivors, and I will keep fi ghting for them until this bill is law.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Expanding our forest canopy is one piece of the larger puzzle to combatting climate change in Massachusetts. With continuous heat waves leading to higher energy bills and greater greenhouse gas emissions, our Greening the Gateway Cities Program leverages our state resources and engages residents to help plant trees and enhance public health. Reducing the urban heat island eff ect is a top priority, and our non-profi t partnerships … will help cool our neighborhoods, towns and cities.” --- Rebecca Tepper, Secretary of the Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs on awarding $1 million in grants to support tree planting in Gateway Cities across the state. “This collaborative initiative strives to increase the parole system’s transparency while supporting individuals as they navigate the reentry process and plan for a successful return to the community. The Executive Offi ce of Public Safety and Security is grateful to our many partners in this eff ort and reaffi rms our shared commitment to advancing innovative programs that enhance public safety, reduce recidivism and build safer communities.” ---Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy on the launch of a pilot program to educate and support incarcerated individuals through the parole process. “We are excited to launch the Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail, a delicious route that highlights the incredible diversity of our dairy farms and ice cream shops. Massachusetts has a vibrant agricultural sector that thrives thanks to the hardworking farmers who diligently support our communities. This new tourism trail is designed to invite residents and visitors to experience our creative dessert off erings at traditional parlors, innovative shops and local farm stands.” ---Gov. Healey announcing the launch of the Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail, an initiative celebrating the rich history of ice cream making in the Bay State and encouraging residents and visitors to explore the fl avors and experiences off ered by more than 100 ice cream destinations across the state. “Gov. Maura Healey, Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka are making policy choices that come with signifi cant economic costs to the taxpayers. While they signal with their lack of policy reforms that the state can aff ord to cover the fi nancial costs for the world’s migrants, the center’s study shines a light on what their lack of action is costing the taxpayers. Massachusetts taxpayers better be ready for the fi scal time bomb our governor and Statehouse leaders have set us up for. ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, commenting on a new study examining the economic cost to Massachusetts taxpayers for the state’s migrant and illegal immigration crisis.
