Sponsor and Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith, Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon and Ward Councillors Wayne Matewsky (1), Anthony DiPierro (3), Robert Van Campen (5) and Peter Pietrantonio (6) voted in favor of it. Councillors-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin and Katy Rogers, Ward 2 Councillor and Council President Stephanie Martins and Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia voted against it. Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese was absent. The vote overrode an unfavorable recommendation from the Legislative Aff airs and Elections Subcommittee – comprised of Marchese, Martins, Rogers and Smith – made at a short meeting earlier in the evening. Passage approved animal testing, but limits it to small animals like gerbils, mice and rats and prohibits testing on cats, dogs, horses and other large animals that are often pets or used for recreation. “Communities around Everett have life science facilities, but Everett does not,” Smith said in discussion. “The industry has the highest annual income due to high-wage jobs. Those are the jobs we want people in Everett to have, but companies are going to other cities. They’re getting the facilities and the tax benefi ts.” As she had when introducing the proposal on December 9, she reiterated that the proposed ordinance was hers and hers alone and not written at the behest or under pressure from The Davis Companies, a development company that builds life science facilities in order to sell them. “I take offense that this is from The Davis Companies; I wrote it,” she said. “They didn’t write this. I did. This is not a company initiative. It’s my opinion of what I think is best for the city.” Smith was speaking in response to Rogers’ assertion that the ordinance would “serve the interests of one company, The Davis Companies” and “a corporate agenda that undermines the interest of our constituents.” She added that the constituents are concerned about safety in the city and the quality of its schools and The Davis Companies has addressed neither nor other issues in any proposal. “I want to make sure Everett’s potential isn’t handed over to companies with no interest in our people,” she said. “It serves a private interest and is against the wishes of many constituents.” She also said that biotech and life science companies are moving away from animal testing to “cutting edge alternatives more eff ective than animal testing. Everett can lead the way as a hub for innovative, sustainable science rather than clinging to increasingly obsolete practices. Why should Everett bet on a faltering market when we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to defi ne ourselves in the industries of tomorrow. I want to make sure we’re not on the back end of something other communities are getting away from.” TESTING | SEE PAGE 17

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 17, 2025 Page 3 Sen. DiDomenico’s energy siting bill included in climate legislation signed into law Special to Th e Advocate his past fall, the Governor signed a climate omnibus bill into law, S.2967 (Chapter 239), which includes key language from Senator DiDomenico’s energy facility siting bill, S.2113, that will protect his constituents from hazardous energy projects and advance the state’s clean energy infrastructure. For years, Senator DiDomenico has worked side by side with environmental advocates and constituents on this legislation to ensure communities like those in his district have more control over which energy projects get developed in their neighborhoods. Thanks to this language, a larger number of energy facility projects must fi rst seek T lines that will make it harder to develop new fossil fuel projects in cities that have borne the brunt of large energy projects for many years. “I am proud to have passed Sal DiDomenico State Senator input and review from the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) and the aff ected communities; the state must create accelerated timelines for siting clean energy projects; and the EFSB will have guidemy energy facility siting reforms into law which will help provide communities in my district with more of a voice when developments are proposed in their neighborhoods while also promoting the deployment of clean energy across our state,” said Senator DiDomenico. “These reforms will go a long way towards fi ghting the climate crisis while also helping people that have faced fossil fuel-related hazards for years protect their community from future polluting energy projects. I want to thank Senate President Spilka, Senator Barrett, and all of my colleagues for working tirelessly to pass this transformational legislation.” The bill consolidates reviews of clean energy siting and permitting, which will speed the pace of planning, constructing and bringing clean energy infrastructure online to support clean energy technologies, such as solar, wind and storage, to create an electrifi ed future and reduce emissions. Enhanced community review via new offi ces is created in the bill, including the Offi ce of Environmental Justice and Equity, the Offi ce of Public Participation at the Energy Facilities Siting Board, and the Division of Siting and Permitting at the Department of Energy Resources. Each offi ce will be charged with engaging with and providing resources to communities and applicants to ensure a thorough, equitable and community-centered review. In order to help protect residents from bearing the cost of building new infrastructure, when possible, the state will require the Energy Facilities Siting Board to fi rst consider maximizing the effi ciency of current infrastructure through the use of innovative technologies, such as advanced transmission technologies or grid-enhancing technologies, before approving new construction. An online clean energy infrastructure dashboard will also be created to promote transparency and public accountability in real time.

Over the past two calendar years, more than 25,000 visits have been processed at the Middlesex Jail & House of Correction. Visitors included family members, friends, attorneys, volunteers and other law enforcement partners.

(Courtesy photo) U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for opioid use disorder (OUD). Many of them participate via the Medication Assisted Treatment and Directed Opioid Recovery (MATADOR) program off ered at the facility – considered a national best practice by the National Institute of Corrections. “We have always taken a comprehensive, public health-centered approach to supporting those working through recovery,” said Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian. “Through MATADOR and our Families in Treatment program, we have been at the forefront of implementing commonsense, data-driven initiatives to surround individuals and their families with options for treatment. This new eff ort builds upon that robust foundation and will help make this life-saving medication more readily available.” Individuals visiting the facility can access the naloxone anonymously, and they will answer a few brief survey questions regarding age, gender, race and zip code. Survey data will be used to help inform future MSO programming, as well as community-based prevention and inurry College congratulates Tyler David of Evertervention initiatives along with stakeholders from across Middlesex County. The survey takes less than 30 seconds to complete. In addition to dispensing the naloxone, the vending machine features a video and graphics with instructions on how to properly administer the medication. Currently, MSO distributes naloxone to loved ones of incarcerated individuals through the Families in Treatment (FIT) training programs. To date, 234 community members have been trained through the FIT program. Access to naloxone and training on how to properly administer it has been proven eff ective in saving lives across Massachusetts. Earlier this year, data released by the Department of Public Health showed that its distribution of 196,500 naloxone kits through community-level programs resulted in at least 10,206 overdose reversals since the beginning of 2023. The Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce is using funding from a Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site-based Program (COSSAP) grant to support this groundbreaking initiative.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 17, 2025 Hanson Milone Safe Boating Act signed into law B OSTON – On Wednesday, January 8, 2025 Governor Maura Healey signed a safe boater bill establishing a boater education program. The bill is the Hanson-Milone Act (S3011 Amendment to H4941). This legislation will mandate that boat operators in the Commonwealth obtain a boater safety certifi cate. The legislation was fi rst drafted over ten years ago by previous State Rep. Thomas Calter. It was most recently sponsored and championed by Rep. Kathleen LaNatra (Democrat 12th Plymouth) and former State Senator Susan Moran. The new law will require all who operate a boat in the Commonwealth first to pass a boater safety test and be issued a boater safety certificate, which must be present on the boat being operated at all times. The legislation provides certain exemptions to the requirements for individuals such as merchant mariners, active members of the Armed Forces who are qualified to operate motorboats, or students of a secondary or maritime school or college who operate motorboats as part of instruction. Individuals who previously possessed a boater safety certifi cate will not be required to receive another certifi cate or retake an examination.There are also inclusions for reciprocity for boaters with NASBLA-approved certifi cates from other states or MA boaters who already have a boater safety certifi cate.

Jessica Giannino & Chairman James Murphy. “The signing of the Hanson Milone safe boating bill provides a gateway to further education for the recreational boating industry in Massachusetts, leading to lives saved on the waterways for years to come. Thank you to many involved in passing the bill, especially Rep. LaNatra and Christopher Jean, her Chief of Staff , for their many years of working on this bill. Thank you also to Governor Healey, Lt. Governor Driscoll, Chairman Aaron Michlewitz, and Chairman Michael Rodrigues for their support and fi nal approval of the bill. An element of the new law can be directly related to a recent statistic released by the US Coast Guard – “Where instruction was known, 75% of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety education”. – As the late great Paul Milone frequently said – “Safe Boating is no Accident.”. The bill is named after David Hanson, a young man who tragically lost his life in a boating accident in 2010, and Paul Milone, the late harbormaster from Weymouth who dedicated his life to boat safety and was a major proponent and advocate for this legislation. The Hanson and Milone families have been strong advocates for passing this crucial legislation and were able to participate in the offi cial announcement of the bill passing at an event at the DiscovHANSON MILONE SAFE BOATING BILL PASSES Massachusetts Boaters are now safer on the waterways with the passage of the Hanson Milone Act “SAFE BOATING IS NO ACCIDENT!” THANK YOU!

Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll presented the signed bill to Lisa Milone, Paul’s widow, and Eric Hanson, David’s brother. The timeline for implementation of the Hanson-Milone Act is as follows: Guidance will be published by the offi ce of law enforcement no later than October 1, 2025. Anyone born after January 1, 1989, has until April 1, 2026, to obtain their certifi cate, provided that no operator shall be assessed a penalty until September 1, 2026. Anyone born on or before January 1, 1989, must obtain their certificate before April 1, 2028.

Second-year Everett coach T Gerard Boyce said that “it was an evenly played game, which ended with us securing a hardfought victory.” Jevaun Berberena contributed nine points and six assists to the winning cause, while also demonstrating skills in all facets of the game, including excellent playmaking to ensure this critical victory, according to Boyce. “(Berberena’s) ability to facilitate scoring opportunities for his teammates was critical in our offensive gameplan against Brockton,” Boyce added. Boyce also praised the contributions of Tyson Chunn, who showed off his versatility, while scoring seven points and grabbing three crucial rebounds to help maintain the lead during key moments of the game. Henrique Pinto poured in 13 points, and was also credited with three rebounds. “(Pinto) proved his effectiveness at both ends of the court,” said Boyce. Geordiell Luna Morales was the leader on offense against Brockton with 21 points and eight rebounds. “His consistent ability to find the basket and his tenacity on the boards significantly impacted the game’s outcome,” said Boyce. Cristian Vasquez chipped in with 15 points and nine rebounds, and in his presence in the paint factored into the outIn 2018, during happier times, Everett High School boys basketball player Ghared Boyce, third, left, poses with his family after eclipsing 2,000 career points.

Adam Aitmessaoud played briefly, but his impact was significant, according to Boyce. He collected only two assists, but was able to keep himself ready to support his teammates, when he was called upon to go into the game. Despite the win, Boyce recognizes that there’s still room for improvement, especially in protecting the ball to avoid the frequent turnover. But the BASKETBALL | SEE PAGE 15 Tide girls basketball continues to work hard to gain that winning edge for the stretch run After taking on host Malden last night, Everett finally returns home next week to face Lynn English, Medford By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School girls basketball team (1-6) is trying to put things together, and with six weeks left in the regular season there’s still time to turn it around in a positive direction. But in the meantime, the Crimson Tide dropped three more games throughout this past week, falling to Lynn English, Lowell and Somerville. On Jan. 10, the Bulldogs were all over the Everett girls to the tune of 63-38. “This was a tough game against a really tenacious Lynn English team,” said coach Riley Dunn. The Tide’s senior captain Emilia Maria Babcock led all Tide scorers in this road game in Lynn with 18 points. Three days later, non-league host Lowell defeated the Tide, 52-24 to begin a new week. “The final score does not (reflect) how hard my girls worked in this game,” said Dunn. “They fought until the last second, while keeping the energy high throughout the entire game. I was very proud of their resilience and support for their teammates in a challenging game (against a perennial playoff team).” The Tide’s Julianna Rivera calmly went 4-for-4 from the free throw line. Maria Babcock led all Everett scorers with 14 points, while also coming up with three steals. Junior Nicole Damaceno fought hard underneath the boards to account for 10 rebounds. The road trip continued the very next night at Somerville, where the host Highlanders escaped past their Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals, 53-46. “This was one heck of a battle,” said Dunn. “We battled (despite trailing) the entire game, and (continued to fight) to the last minute. We battled back through injuries and foul trouble, but unfortunately fell just short.” Freshman Julianna Rivera led all Tide scorers with 19 points. She also dominated down low with eight rebounds. Damaceno also had a monster game on the boards, pulling down 18 rebounds. Maria Babcock was credited with 15 points and eight rebounds. The Everett girls went up against Malden in another road game last night (Jan. 16) after press deadline, before finally coming home next week to take on Lynn English (Jan. 21, 6 p.m.) and Medford (Jan. 23, 6 p.m.). They hope that the familiar surroundings will turn around these close games into wins in order to build up some momentum for the stretch run.

BASKETBALL | FROM PAGE 14 veteran coach was pleased by the way they transitioned from defense to off ense with consistent ball movement. “To build on this victory, we’ll focus on tightening up the overall game, while also continuing to capitalize on our strengths,” added Boyce. The Tide began last week with a 61-50 loss to nonleague Newton South on Jan. 7. Vasquez was the leading scorer in this game with 11 points. Pinto was next in line with nine points. Richardson Lamerique was close behind with eight. Luna Moreles accounted for six. “As a team, we executed mistake-free basketball throughout the first half,” said Boyce. “But we were unable to maintain that same energy in the second half. We had too many missed assignments, which ultimately hindered our ability to secure the victory.” The Everett boys then dropped a 71-62 decision to host East Boston, Boyce’s alma mater, two nights later. Luna Moreles led the way on offense with 17 points. Vasquez accounted for nine. Pinto had eight. Jayden Alsaindor and Lamerique each netted seven points. Chunn tallied six points. “We faced too many challenges in this game with so many excessive (violations) that were called on us,” Boyce said. “We were called for four three-second violations and a technical foul that was pinned on us after making a critical three-pointer, which at the time put us ahead by seven. “Our ability to function as a cohesive unit diminished quite a bit throughout the course of the game with many of our players fouling out,” added Boyce. “We played as individuals, which distracted from our play in a challenging road environment. I hope that this experience will serve as a stepping stone toward growing up as a team. Together, we can learn, evolve and emerge stronger from this experience.” The Tide took that fi rst step on Saturday night by beating aforementioned Brockton by 10 points. They have since gone up against Malden (Jan. 14) and Medford (Jan. 16) at home after press deadline, before taking on non-league St. Mary’s of Lynn at Emmanuel College in Boston on Sunday afternoon, starting at 1:30 p.m. They will then be at Lynn English (Jan. 21, 7 p.m.) and Chelsea (Jan. 23, 6:30 p.m.) to close out next week.

This measure expands the GOVERNOR SIGNS SEVERAL BILLS - Gov. Maura Healey signed several bills into law last week including: DRUG COSTS AND INDUSTRY TRANSPARENCY – Gov. Maura Healey signed into law legislation (S 3012) that supporters say would lower the cost of prescription drugs. Provisions include requiring insurers to eliminate cost-sharing requirements for one generic drug and to cap co-payments on one brand-name drug at $25 per 30-day supply for diabetes, asthma and certain heart conditions. It also ensures that consumers are not charged a copay if it would be cheaper for them to purchase a drug without using their insurance. Another provision requires insurers to provide continuity of coverage for new members’ existing prescriptions when they switch to a new plan. She also signed into law another bill (H 5159) that that supporters say will enhance LEGAL NOTICE City of Everett PLANNING BOARD 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 scope of data collection and public review of health care and health care transactions by the Health Policy Commission (HPC) and the Center for Health Analysis and Information with the goal of increasing visibility and accountability for transactions involving private owners of health care resources. It also includes a provision establishing a primary care task force, co-chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh and the Executive Director of the HPC. The task force will study primary care access, delivery and payment, develop recommendations to stabilize and strengthen the primary care system, increase recruitment and increase financial investment and patient access. “We know that one of the biggest strains on Massachusetts family’s budgets is the high health care costs,” said Gov. Healey. “These new laws will lower out-of-pocket costs by capping copays at $25 for lifesaving prescription medications and increasing transparency in the industry. They also close loopholes in our regulatory processes so that for-profit providers like Steward Health Care are subject to the same transparency rules as non-profit providers. As attorney general, I spent years in court trying to hold Steward to this standard, and I’m glad that our laws will no longer be exploited in this way.” “The bills signed by Gov. Healey today represent the Legislature’s enduring commitment to protecting patients, bringing down cost growth and to fostering greater stability and accountability within the health care system,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Before Steward Health Care ultimately collapsed, executives spent years hiding their fi nancial information from state regulators, putting patients and our LEGAL NOTICE EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by Marlene Zizza Property located at: 34 Baldwin Avenue Site Plan Review In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Sections 4 and 19 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, February 3, 2025 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for Site Plan Review.

Sa nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Does Medicare Cover Talk Therapy Services? Dear Savvy Senior, What types of mental health services does Medicare cover? I struggle with anxiety and depression, and my primary care provider recommended I see a therapist or psychiatrist. Anxious Annie Dear Annie, Medicare actually covers both outpatient and inpatient mental health care services and programs to help benefi ciaries with anxiety, depression and many other mental health needs. Here what you should know. Outpatient Coverage If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, your Part B coverage will pay 80 percent (after you’ve met your annual $257 Part B deductible) for a variety of counseling and mental health care services that are provided outside a hospital, such as in a doctor or therapist’s offi ce, hospital outpatient department or community health center. These services can also be received via telehealth. You, or your Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, is responsible for the remaining 20 percent coinsurance. Medicare also gives you the expanded option of getting treatment through a variety of health professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical nurse specialists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors. To get this coverage, you’ll need to choose a participating provider that accepts Medicare assignment, which means they accept Medicare’s approved amount as full payment for a service. If you choose a nonparticipating provider who accepts Medicare but does not agree to Medicare’s payment rate, you may have to pay more. And if you choose an opt-out provider that does not accept Medicare payments at all, you will be responsible for the entire cost. To locate a mental health care professional in your area that accepts Medicare, go to Medicare.gov/care-compare, click on “doctors & clinicians” and type in your location, followed by “clinical psychologist” or “psychiatry” in the Name & Keyword box. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. Inpatient Coverage If you happen to need mental health services in either a general or psychiatric hospital, original Medicare Part A covers this too, after you’ve met your $1,676 Part A deductible. Your doctor should determine which hospital setting you need. If you receive care in a psychiatric hospital, Medicare covers up to 190 days of inpatient care for your lifetime. And if you use your lifetime days but need additional care, Medicare may cover additional inpatient care at a general hospital. Additional Coverage In addition to the outpatient and inpatient mental health services, Medicare also covers yearly depression screenings that must be done in a primary care doctor’s offi ce or clinic. Annual depression screenings are covered 100 percent. And if you have a Medicare prescription drug plan, most medications used to treat mental health conditions are covered too. Medicare Advantage Coverage If you get your Medicare benefi ts through a private Medicare Advantage plan, they too provide the same coverage as original Medicare does, but may impose diff erent rules and will likely require you to see an in-network provider. You’ll need to contact your plan directly for details. For more information, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and request a copy of publication #10184 “Medicare & Your Mental Health Benefi ts,” or you can read it online at Medicare.gov.

Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. nior ior THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 17, 2025 TESTING | FROM PAGE 1 The ordinance designates the Docklands Innovation District, which is one of three in the area, in addition to the Lower Broadway Economic Development District on Lower Broadway and the Commercial Triangle Economic Development District, as an area for facilities, but Rogers doesn’t think animal testing is innovative. She also said Everett doesn’t have the space for facilities like Cambridge does. “I’m glad companies are moving away from animal testing, but don’t want Everett to get left behind other communities in the future when companies are already there,” Smith countered. “They are doing animal testing now and will go to other communities and change there. I don’t want to close the door to life science, BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 gles for civil rights,” said Kushmerek. PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (H 4937) – Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would repeal a current state law which creates professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under current law, a borrower’s state-issued professional or occupational certifi cate, registration or license can be suspended, revoked or canceled if the borrower is in default on an education loan. Page 17 so when they change, they’ll be here.” Martins argued that previous ordinances prohibited testing. “That’s what our citizens supported,” she said. “Limited testing is still testing. I’m not against life science, but it’s possible to have life science without animal testing. They can test cell cultures, but it’s expensive.” She also said, “In regard to high paying jobs, we don’t just get those jobs. We have to start with basics and think about funding our schools properly and job preparedness. We have to make sure our people are qualifi ed. Otherwise, we’re just bringing in people from the outside.” She didn’t mention that a local facility could prompt people to move to Everett. Smith acknowledged there are alternatives and they are “Current laws are potentially harmful to the more than one million student loan borrowers in the commonwealth,” said sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins (D-Leominster). “With all of the uncertainty around the federal student loan forgiveness and repayment plans, now more than ever, we need to protect student loan borrowers and ensure they can continue their work and have the ability to repay their student loan debt.” ID FOR LIQUOR PURCHASES (H 4131) – Gov. Healey signed into law a measure that would allow alcohol-serving establishments to accept all out-of-state more expensive, but “in cities around us, they are doing animal testing.” She also said, “Companies help with job force creation.” In discussion, Garcia said, “Every single email I’ve gotten is against this.

Healey signed into law a measure that would ban cat declawing and tendonectomy unless it is done for the medical need of the feline. The measure imposes a fi ne on off enders of up to $1,000 for a fi rst off ense, $1,500 for a second off ense and $2,500 for a third or subsequent off ense. Supporters said that declawing a cat involves amputating the last bone of each toe, which if performed on a human would be equivalent to cutting off each fi nger at the last knuckle. They noted that according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the physical side eff ects from declawing include both acute and chronic pain, improperly healed wounds, sudden loss of blood, impaired immune response and behavioral side eff ects include biting. “Declawing is an abhorrent practice that most veterinarians view as inhumane,” said sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford). “This is another step in my commitment to protect animals in the commonwealth. As a state we have done far too little to punish heartless abusers and to push back against a weak court system that has too often failed to hold them accountable.” PROTECT CATS AND DOGS (S 2908) – Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would prohibit the sale or transfer of any puppies and kittens under eight weeks old. Violators would be fi ned $100 per animal. When the animal is more than eight weeks old, the outright ban is lifted and replaced with a section that would prohibit the sale or transfer of any dogs or cats at specifi ed outdoor locations, such as flea markets and roadsides. This prohibition would not apply to the transfer of a dog or cat by, or to, a shelter, animal control or animal rescue; or to the display of a dog or cat as part of a state or county fair exhibition, a 4-H program or similar exhibition or educational program. Violators would be fi ned $50 per animal for a fi rst off ense, $100 for a second offense and $300 for a third and subsequent off ense. “Early separation of puppies and kittens from their mother, - LEGAL NOTICE - CITY OF EVERETT Purchasing Department 484 Broadway, Room 14 Everett, MA 02149 INVITATION TO BID NOTICE TO SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTORS 25-28 Transportation of Homeless and Small Group Field Trips Pursuant to MGL c. 30B, the Purchasing Agent for the City of Everett is soliciting sealed bids from qualified contractors to provide transportation for homeless students and small group field trips for Everett Public Schools.

John Velis (D-Westfi eld). “I was proud to fi le this legislation in the Senate this session and am glad that it is one step closer to becoming law and establishing new protections for animals throughout the commonwealth.” RENAME THE OFFICE OF ELDER AFFAIRS (S 3006) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would change the name of the Executive Offi ce of Elder Affairs to the Executive Offi ce of Aging and Independence. The proposal also replaces outdated language in the state’s lawbooks, including changing “elderly persons,” to “older adults” and “handicapped” to “adults with a disability.” The new legislation also incorporates gender-neutral language into current law. The original version of the bill was fi led by Gov. Healey in May. BEACON | SEE PAGE 19
