Supporters said this legislation is designed to create a structured pathway to the full state minimum wage, currently $15 per hour, and sets a significantly higher standard for young workers than the federal “Youth Opportunity Wage,” which is currently only $4.25 per hour. “I sponsored this bill to address the high rates of youth unemployment in Massachusetts by reducing barriers to entry-level positions for our youngCITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday March 16, 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 proposes to alter the existing building at 178 Shute Street in a Dwelling District to a two family and increase the existing building size with a 26’-6”x20’ rear single-story addition.

Also the side setbacks are nonconforming with (4’ with a total of 16’ required, where 5’ with a total of 13.6 is provided). The applicant proposes to increase the nonconformity.

Nolan SELLER2 Winecour, Susan R est residents,” said co-sponsor Rep. Mike Soter (R-Bellingham). “This training wage provides targeted relief for local small businesses, helping them remain adequately staffed while fostering long-term economic development and stability across the commonwealth.” Co-sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) said that many teenagers are eager to work but sometimes find it challenging to get hired for their first job due to their lack of work experience. “Allowing employers to offer a subminimum training wage for the first 120 hours of employment is a good way for young workers to get their foot in the door and build their work skills so they can show their employer that they deserve to be considered for a permanent position,” continued Jones. INCREASE FINES FOR ILLEGAL HANDICAPPED PARKING VIOLATIONS (H 3614) – Would allow cities and towns to increase fines for handicapped parking violations by $450. Current fines are between $100 and $300 so the bill would increase that range to between $550 and $750. The additional funds must be placed in a special municipal account and used solely to support compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on public property and in public buildings. Local commissions on disabilities or special commissions are tasked with assessing municipal needs for ADA implementation. “I filed this legislation to ensure stronger enforcement of handicapped parking laws and to provide dedicated funding for local ADA compliance efforts,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “This bill will help protect the rights of residents with disabilities and improve accessibility throughout our communities.” BAN RETROFITTING OF DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES (H 3746) – Would prohibit anyone from retrofitting any diesel-powered vehicle with any device, smokestack or other equipment that enhances the vehicle’s caADDRESS 161 Garland St CITY Everett pacity to emit soot, smoke or other particulate emissions. Violators would be subject to a fine of between $100 and $1,000. “Coal rolling, as it is commonly known, is the practice of deliberately emitting soot from the modified exhaust pipes of a diesel-powered truck that can be directed at other vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians and pose a serious danger as the black smoke can intentionally impair visibility,” said sponsor Rep. Brian Murray (D-Milford). “It serves no useful purpose and is clearly harmful to the environment, as well as associated with known health risks and respiratory issues.” RAISE FINE FOR “RIGHT OF WAY” VIOLATIONS (H 3817) – Would raise from $35 to $200 the fine for violating the traffic rule that provides when two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same instant, the operator of the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The proposal also imposes additional penalties and/ or license revocation for up to six months for any of these violations that cause death, serious bodily harm or bodily harm. The measure received initial approval by the House in 2024 but died in committee because the House did not take further action on it. Sponsor Rep. Steven Xiarhos (R-Barnstable) noted the bill is named “Cecelia’s Law” in memory of Cecelia Finnegan who was killed at age 26 on September 6, 2020, while riding her motorcycle to work when someone turned in front of her in the town of Bourne. “As a former police officer, I have responded to far too many crashes caused by drivers failing to yield,” said Xiarhos. “As a legislator, I believe our laws must reflect the seriousness of the harm that can result from these violations. And as someone who understands loss, I know that accountability matters.” Xiarhos continued, “This legislation is about awareness. It is about responsibility. It is about protecting motorcyclists and all DATE 02.13.26 PRICE 900000 who share our roads. Please look twice. Take that extra second. Yield the right of way. Cecelia’s life mattered. And I will continue fighting to make sure her legacy helps save others. Never forget, freedom and safety on our roads are never guaranteed.” HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’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 filed. 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 February 23-27, the House met for a total of 11 hours and 22 minutes and the Senate met for a total of five hours and 55 minutes. Mon.Feb. 23 No House session. No Senate session. Tues. Feb. 24 No House session. No Senate session. Wed.Feb. 25 House1:01 p.m. to 1:07 p.m. Senate 1:07 p.m. to 1:24 p.m. Thurs. Feb. 26 House 11:02 a.m. to 10:18 p.m. Senate 11:05 a.m. to 4:43 p.m. Fri. Feb. 27 No House session. No Senate session.
