THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 20, 2023 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 ending-hunger-in-massachusetts/ WRAPPING UP THE 2022 SESSION – Before the 2022 session ended on January 3, the House and Senate acted on several bills including: REVENGE PORN (H 4498, S 3167) – The House and Senate approved different versions of a proposal that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure died in the House when the House did not take action on the Senate version of the legislation. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and be required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. Supporters say that currently law enforcement are faced with either charging offenders with a felony or doing nothing. They note the bill provides a middle ground that will allow law enforcement to sentence kids to a diversion program to educate them about the consequences of their actions without ruining their lives and giving them a criminal record. Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton), the Senate chair of the Judiciary Committee, did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking how he felt about the measure dying in the House. “Rep. Roy is on an overseas trade mission so I am unable to provide a quote for you,” responded a spokesman for the bill’s sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). The spokesman did say that Roy plans to refile the bill in the 20232024 session. DEATH OF A CHILD UNDER 2 (H 5422) – The House and Senate both approved a bill that would require that the autopsy report for a child under the age of two be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death. Changes to the autopsy report would also PUBLIC AUCTION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH AT 1:00 PM MORTGAGEE’S SALE OF REAL ESTATE • MELROSE • 10 ROOM / 4 BEDROOM 2-STORY THREE FAMILY STYLE HOME “CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ALL AMENTIES” 71-73 Grove Street MELROSE, MA TO BE SOLD ON THE PREMISES FEATURES: • 2½ Story Three Family Style Home • ±5,808 S/F Of Land • • Total Of (10) Rooms w/ (4) Bedrooms & (3) Baths • • ±2,479 S/F Of Gross Living Area Above Grade • Oil Heat • • Full Basement • Open Porch • Aluminum Siding • Public Water & Sewer • • Zoned: BA1 • (6) Car Driveway • Assessor’s Parcel # 0C6-0000079 • SALE PER ORDER OF MORTGAGEE Attorney Oscar L Suarez Of The Firm Of Halloran & Sage, LLP, 225 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT Attorney for Mortgagee TERMS OF SALE: $10,000.00 Aaron Posnik AUCTIONEERS • APPRAISERS Deposit Cash Or Certified Funds 5% Buyer’s Premium Applies Other Terms To Be Announced At Time Of Sale West Springfield, MA • Philadelphia, PA 413-733-5238 • 610-853-6655 TOLL FREE 1-877-POSNIK1 • (767-6451) MA Auc Lic #161 • PA Auc Lic #AY000241L Web: www.posnik.com • Email: info@posnik.com - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 Docket No. MI22D3628DR DIVORCE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING GURNEK SINGH vs. NAVDEEP KAUR ~ Home of the Week ~ REVERE....UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Wonderful Family Colonial offers 7 rooms, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, gorgeous, gourmet kitchen features quartz counter tops and oversized, quartz center island, open to huge front to back great room with slider and fireplace, formal dining room, spacious, formal diningroom, 17’ main bedroom with walk-in closet and private bath with double sink vanity, convenient 1st floor laundry room/mudroom, hardwood flooring throughout, central air, attached two car garage, large, side yard.

WITNESS, Hon. Maureen H. Monks, First Justice of this Court. Date: January 11, 2023 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE January 20, 2023 have to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner. The bill needed a final round of approval by the House and Senate before going to the governor’s desk but neither branch acted upon it and the bill died. Supporters said the measure addresses recent cases in which the Chief Medical Examiner’s office changed the cause of death for deaths of children under two, creating serious implications for ongoing court cases and for the families of those children. They noted that the most experienced person in the office should provide oversight to what are typically junior medical examiners without pediatric autopsy experience. They argued this will provide more confidence and peace of mind for families who have tragically lost infants. Sponsor of the bill Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking how she felt about her measure dying, not reaching the governor’s desk and whether she will refile the bill for the 2023-2024 session.
