BUYER1 Adrien, Jean N Portillo, Jose BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 FREEZE ASSESSED VALUE OF HOMES (H 3006) - The House gave initial approval, on a voice vote without a roll call, to legislation that would allow cities and towns the option to freeze the valuation of any property in which the owner has lived for more than 30 years. The freeze would only apply to owners whose income does not exceed 100 percent of the area median income and whose liquid assets, excluding the home, are less than $100,000. Supporters said that since property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property, freezing the valuation will also help keep the property tax low and help many seniors remain in their homes. Rep. James Arciero (D-Westford), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he sponsored the measure and how he feels about its passage. ENTER PROPERTY FOR INSPECTION (H 3212) – The House gave initial approval, on a voice vote without a roll call, to a measure that would allow assessors, who deems it reasonably necessary, to enter any lands, waters and premises in Massachusetts to collect physical and functional data pertinent to the proper determination of said property’s fair cash value for the fiscal year tax roll. The bill does not allow entrance to an actual building. Supporters say that the bill will ensure that these inspections are legal and not considered to be trespassing. They note that the assessor would be required to act in accordance with the Department of Revenue’s requirements as well as the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices that both allow an assessor or his authorized agents to enter a property, after reasonable notice. They noted that the legislation would not relieve an assessor of liability for damage caused by entry to the property. BUYER2 Adrien, Mirlande Alfred Portillo, Aminta SELLER1 Garland 46 Rt Appleton Grove LLC Co-sponsors Rep. Bridget Plouffe (D-Brockton) and Sen. Michael Brady (D-Brockton) did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them why they sponsored the measure and how they feel about its passage. BAN MINORS FROM BEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA (HD 5696) – A late-filed bill would prohibit minors under the age of 16 from opening a social media account unless the account provides primarily videoconferencing, e-mailing mailing or educational services. The measure would require the social media platform company to take reasonable steps to prevent children under 16 from having accounts and includes a requirement that applicants provide a birth certificate or valid government-issued identification, proving that they are over 16. Supporters say that this age restriction is long overdue and cite the U.S. Surgeon General’s advisory that highlighted a strong correlation between prolonged social media use and adverse mental health effects in minors, including increased rates of anxiety, depression and social isolation. They noted that being on these platforms risks the possibility of minors being cyberbullied, harassed and exposed to sexual predators. Rep. Michael Kushmerek (D-Fitchburg), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he sponsored the measure. OFFICIAL STATE CRUSTACEAN (HD 5691) - Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) and Rep. Joan Meschino (D-Hull) co-sponsored a late-filed bill that would make the American lobster the official state crustacean. O’Connor said that the bill recognizes the maritime heritage of Massachusetts and the hardworking fishing communities that have shaped our coastal economy for generations. “Specifically in the district that I represent on the South Shore, I have long worked with members of the lobstering industry, and experienced first-hand the vital role lobstermen/women have in supporting local jobs, small businesses and our broader seafood economy,” continued O’Connor. “This bill is about celebrating and uplifting a significant sector of the state’s blue economy, our historic maritime culture and a sustainable fishery,” said Meschino. “I am glad to file this bill in partnership with the Massachusetts Lobstermen Association and help to honor a crucial industry in the commonwealth.” HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSI 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 SELLER2 Baron, Michael ADDRESS 46 Garland St 88 Garland St CITY Everett Everett 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 March 9-13, the House met for a total of DATE 02.18.26 02.18.26 PRICE 550000 588000 13 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 44 minutes.
