Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 18, 2026 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 – The House and Senate in July approved two different versions of a primary care and health care aff ordability bill. The House version includes a provision that would eliminate the civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. The Senate version does not include that provision. A House-Senate conference committee is working on hammering out a compromise version of the two bills. Under current law, effective for abuse that took place after June 26, 2014, survivors must sue within 35 years of the abuse, or within seven years of discovering that the abuse caused them psychological harm. However, the clock does not start ticking until the survivor turns 18. In practice, that caps most claims around age 53 and leaves survivors CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - DEPARTMENT OF INSPECTIONAL SERVICES 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 26 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 Dear Property Owner/Authorized Agent: You have requested that a Building Permit be issued in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinances.

Supporters say the provision would eliminate the deadlines that currently bar many survivors from ever bringing a civil claim. They note the provisions will open a two-year window allowing survivors whose claims have already expired under current law to revive them against both perpetrators and the institutions that enabled or concealed the abuse. Moving forward, it will also allow survivors to sue individuals and institutions responsible for their abuse at any point in their lives, with no fi ling deadline. Research cited by Enough Abuse shows that most survivors take years, often decades, to come forward. More than half delay disclosure by fi ve years or more, and the typical age at fi rst disclosure to anyone, including a spouse, is not until the survivor’s 50s. Roughly one in fi ve survivors never disclose their abuse at all. Male survivors tend to wait longest, often more than two decades. Enough Abuse argues that this pattern of delayed disclosure is caused by the abuse itself, through shame, fear and manipulation engineered by an abuser the child is taught to trust, and that a fi xed civil deadline modeled on an ordinary accident claim misunderstands the long-lasting harm child sexual abuse causes. “Speaker Mariano and the House took a meaningful step forward for survivors, and we are deeply grateful for it,” said Jetta Bernier, executive director of Enough Abuse. “Survivors of childhood sexual abuse have waited long enough. The Senate now has the opportunity to stand with the BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 - LEGAL NOTICE OF PUBLIC SALE - Notice is hereby given by A.G.
