In April, the House will unveil and eventually approve its own version of a fiscal 2027 state budget. The Senate, likely in May, will follow suit and craft and approve its own version. Then a House-Senate conference committee will eventually craft a compromise plan that will be presented to the House and Senate for consideration, and when approved, will be sent to the governor. MENOPAUSE EDUCATION AND AWARENESS (H 4838) – The Public Health Committee held a hearing on legislation that would establish a special legislative commission on perimenopause and menopause care. Provisions include directing the Department of Public Health to develop a multi-lingual educational public health awareness campaign on perimenopause and menopause; requiring select health care providers to take a continuing medical education course focused on the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with perimenopause and menopause; and adding reproductive health, including perimenopause, menopause or related conditions from the list of legally protected characteristics that employers cannot discriminate against and for which they must provide reasonable workplace accommodations. “When medical schools devote just one to six hours on menopause, despite the fact that women spend nearly a third of their lives navigating it, it’s clear why this bill is necessary,” said sponsor Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge). “There are currently no consistent standards for access to care, leaving too many doctors and patients uninformed and unprepared to address perimenopause and menopause. Women deserve care that treats the symptoms of menopause, not an expectation that they simply endure them.” ORGAN TRANSPLANT VEHICLES (H 4796) – AnothCITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that there will be a Special Metting held on Tuesday February 17, 2026 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room. All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: Building Permit Property Owner: PROPOSAL: The applicant seeks to construct a three (3) story rear addition and convert the existing 2 family residence built approximately in 1888 into a three (3) Family Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: Violations: • The existing structure is nonconforming as to the left side setback (4 feet required; 3 feet provided); front setback (ten feet required; 7.1 feet provided); and lot area (7,000 square feet required; 5,750 square feet provided). The applicant’s proposal will increase these nonconformities by extending the structure vertically within the nonconforming front setback, extending both vertically and laterally along the nonconforming side setback; and adding a third dwelling unit on the undersized lot (resulting in a floor area ratio of 1.02, where only 0.50 is permitted). A special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required to alter or extend the nonconforming structure.

Being designated as an emergency vehicle would enable organ transplant vehicles to exceed the applicable speed limit and to drive through intersections contrary to posted traffic signs or signals. “The reason why I filed the bill is because one of my constituents who is a firefighter but also a driver for an organ transport company, asked me to do so on his behalf,” said sponsor Rep. Paul Donato (D-Medford). “The purpose of the bill is … that if they are transporting an organ from Logan Airport to Mass General Brigham or from Mass General Brigham to a hospital in Worcester, sometimes getting stuck in traffic on Storrow Drive or on the Turnpike can have a detrimental effect on the organ.” AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (H 4927) – The Education Committee will hold a hearing on February 10 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on a measure that would allow students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to receive applied behavior analysis (ABA) services at their school — even if the services are administered by outside providers. Supporters said that currently school districts can impose undue requirements for ABA providers or deny access altogether. “This proposal is needed to protect the rights of eligible students, and to ensure that children with ASD are able to receive the care that they need,” said sponsor Rep. Jim O’Day (D-West Boylston). “At its core, this proposal is about expanding access to care, a mission that is aligned with my broader legislative agenda to help those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I’m confident that [the bill] will allow for individuals with ASD to receive the services that they are eligible for, regardless of setting.” - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. MI26P0391EA Estate of: ELIZABETH DAVIDSON CALDERON Also Known As: Elizabeth Margaret Davidson, Lisa Calderon, Elizabeth Calderon Date of Death: February 26, 2025 INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Daniel H.
