Maldden alld a Vol. 31, No. 25 den AADD -FREEBy Steve Freker T housands of area residents this week began to feel the eff ect of dramatic service time changes for subway trains implemented by the MBTA in response to federal safety compliance regulations. Beginning Monday, citing staffi ng shortages and continued lower ridership levels that never returned to pre-pandemic numbers, the MBTA cut service trips on the Orange, Blue and Red lines — aff ecting estimated 200,000-plus riders each weekday. Thousands — or even tens of thousands— of residents in this region including Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus — are expected to be aff ected by the cutback of the number of service trips and the subsequent increase of service time between trips.

For instance, it is estimated there are 6-7 minutes between trips on the most frequently used Orange Line at peak, weekday commuter times. That has now increased to 10-12 minutes per service trip — longer on the Blue and Red Lines — according to reports. There are two Orange Line stations in Malden, which ends the line in the northern sector, at Malden Center in the heart of Malden Square and Oak Grove, on the Malden-Melrose line.

In the House bill, an amendment fi led by Representative Ultrino was adopted into the fi nal version of the legislation with the support of House leadership and the Malden delegation.

The amendment also outlines models of alternative action for school administrators, including positive behavioral interventions and trauma-informed approaches, which specifi cally takes into account students’ mental health and emotional well-being when responding to incidents resulting in disciplinary action. Disciplinary action can have harsh consequences on a student with a prior history of trauma or emotional and behavioral problems, often re-traumatizing students without addressing the root causes of inschool incidents. The adoption of this amendment will help foster supportive and positive school cultures, representing a critical step towards increasing supports for students’ emotional and mental well-being in schools. “It is exciting to see this legislation passed and I am especially thankful to Speaker Mariano and my colleagues for the support and guidance on my amendment, which will support the emotional and mental wellbeing of our public school students,” said Representative Ultrino. “The bill addresses key challenges faced by too many across the Commonwealth for simply seeking access to behavioral health care. Many of us have experienced increased anxiety, depression, and other mental and behavioral health issues during the pandemic – this bill is not only timely, but it shows the House's commitment to prioritize behavioral health care and ensure everyone has access to quality mental health services in MasSteven Ultrino State Representative sachusetts.” “I’m proud of the legislation that passed through the house, addressing the most pressing barriers to mental health in Medford, Malden and across all of Massachusetts,” said Representative Donato. “The bill includes initiatives such as expanded insurance coverage, school-based behavioral services, workforce investment, and more at a time when it’s never been more critical. I’d also like to thank Chairman Adrian Madaro for his work to get this done.” “Having heard from many constituents, practitioners, and municipal leaders who have been working to support family and friends struggling with mental health challenges, I was proud to vote for this legislation to address barriers to care,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “The pandemic underscored the importance of access to mental and behavioral health services and resources, particularly among our youth, which this bill enhances.” Some highlights of the final bill: • Addresses emergency department boarding of patients seeking mental health & substance use treatment, including the creation of an online portal and codifying expedited inpatient admissions for youth patients • Increases behavioral health care access by implementing the nationwide 988 hotline to access 24/7 suicide prevention and behavioral health crisis services • Initiates a public awareness campaign on Red Flag Laws PASSES | SEE PAGE 10 Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

The current lineup consists of Major and lead singer/guitar wiz Brian Alex, bassist M’talewa Thomas, saxophonist/ keyboardist/percussionist Rob Loyot, saxophonist/percussionist Hilary Noble and trombonist/keyboardist Lennie Peterson. All are road tested, having spent time with such diverse players as Bo Diddley, Carly Simon, Chuck Berry, Southside Johnny, James Montgomery, Gary Burton, and Blood, Sweat and Tears. Entrain has recorded eight albums, all of which have been praised for their ability to shift effortlessly between musical styles – from rock, blues, calypso and ska, to zydeco, jazz and funk – often within the same song. “The whole Entrain concept is based on the drums and infectious rhythms. Once we’ve got that.... anything goes, everything goes,” explains Major. “Entrain zips along like a lively summit conference between the Dave Matthews Band and Little Feat,” according to Steve Morse of The Boston Globe. Entrain’s goal is not just to be the biggest and the best, says Major. “We want to create music that makes people feel good. When we look out from the stage, all we see is smiling faces of all ages and bodies moving. You can’t beat that feeling. At the same time if we can help to promote positive values and lifestyles... great! There’s enough negativity in the world, let’s spread a little joy around and watch how infectious it can be.” On Sunday, June 26, Entrain will be performing outside of Kowloon Restaurant, as part of a summer Veterans benefi t concert series.

MBTA officials stated in a press release that the new summer subway schedule now in effect would essentially resemble a regular Saturday schedule. "On each of the three lines, the changes will effectively implement a Saturday schedule every weekday. The dramatic reshaping of the system, which is likely to slow down travel for the tens or even hundreds of thousands of commuters who use the trio of subway lines every weekday and create more crowded conditions on vehicles and platforms, will continue through the summer," according to MBTA officials.

Team Lombard scored in the By Jason Mazzilli M alden was the epicenter of high school baseball for a day on Monday as it once again hosted the Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association (MBCA) State Select Junior and State Select Sophomore All-Star Games on Monday. The games were held at the City of Malden’s Bob Rotondi Field/Richard Howard Park. This is the second consecutive year the state AllStar Games were held in Malden. The games were originally scheduled for Sunday, but a morning rainstorm and unseasonably cold and windy weather forced a postponement of the two-game slate to Monday. Fittingly, being held in Malden, the All-Star Games had a local flair. All told, six Malden natives were on the rosters of the games, and a number of local residents served as coaches for the teams. Malden High assistant varsity baseball coach Phil Cook served as head coach for the Team Ebbett squad in the 2022 4th MBCA Sophomore All-Star Game and was assisted by Malden Catholic junior varsity coach Shawn Nice. Both are Malden natives and Malden High School graduates. Four Malden residents played for Team Ebbett in the Sophomore Select State AllStar Team: Malden High School 10th-graders Ryan Coggswell, Zeke Noelsaint and Jake Simpson, along with Jackson Norales of Malden Catholic.

Team Ebbett answered in the bottom half as Jackson Norales of Malden Catholic connected for an RBI single. Another run crossed off a wild throw to give Team Ebbett a 2-1 lead. With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the fifth, Magill came up with the bases-loaded and delivered the game-breaking hit. By the time the ball landed by the right field fence, Magill was rounding second, and three runs were in for Team Lombard (5-2). Team Lombard tacked on two more runs in the frame and coasted to the finish from there. Braintree’s Sean O’Rourke was selected as the Player of the Game for Team Lombard (two hits), while Amesbury star Aidan Donovan was named the Pitcher of the Game after hurling two shutout innings. “It feels awesome.

Malden High second baseman Ryan Coggswell and shortstop Jake Simpson comprised the starting middle infield duo. A third Tornado, sophomore Ezekiel “Zeke” Noelsaint, joined his teammates in the starting lineup as Team Ebbett’s centerfielder. Noelsaint, whom organizers said was the first player of Haitian-American descent to ever appear in any MBCA State All-Star Game, made several outstanding catches in centerfield on Monday. Simpson and Noelsaint were varsity starters for MHS Baseball as freshmen in 2021 and both had strong seasons for the Tornados this past spring. Coggswell led the Tornado varsity team in hitting this past spring (.346) and started every game at second base.

Maybe pitching in his hometown has something to do with it. McMahon took the mound in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 11th MBCA Junior Select State All-Star Game with his team (Team I-93) clinging to a 3-2 lead. The lanky, 6-2 righthander proceeded to dominate in the 5th and 6th innings, throwing a pair of solid frames, allowing just one hit, walking one and striking out four over the two innings. As he held the fort for his team, the I-93 squad would add two big offensive innings on its way to a 12-5 win over Malden High sophomore Jake Simpson takes a solid swing Monday.

It was really cool to be a part of it added two hits, two runs and a stolen base. Chelmsford’s Braydon Gray started off the contest with three no-hit innings, including six strikeouts and a walk. That was more than enough to earn him Most Valuable Pitcher for Team I-93. “It was awesome,” Gray said about being a part of the All-Star squad. “It was a good opportunity. I feel blessed to be here. It was a great season and a great way to end the high school season.” MBCA ALL-STAR NOTEBOOK: A sixth Malden resident, Bishop Fenwick junior infielder Costa Beechin, was also on the roster for the I-93 Team, but was unable to participate on Monday, since he was on the road playing in another tournament... They could not have asked for better weather for the game on Monday, with sunny skies and temperature in the low- to mid-70s throughout... The Ebbett Team coaches – longtime Malden High assistant varsity coach Phil Cook and first-year Malden Catholic JV coach Shawn Nice – coach together on the perennial Malden Babe Ruth title contender Pilots team... Two of the most impressive players of the entire day did not even get a win for their team: Braintree’s 6-4 Jack Fitzgerald hit a mighty blast for an inside-the-park home run for team I-95 with two aboard; Team I-95 righthander Ryan Maiorano touched 87 MPH on the radar gun in needing just 12 pitches to strike out the side for Team I-95. The two players were named the Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher, respectively, for Team I-95.... Team I-93’s Jake Harring, a junior from Amesbury High, was the only player for either game to have three hits, going threefor-four with a run scored. He is the son of longtime Division1 collegiate Head Coach Ken Harring of UMass-Lowell... All three of the Malden High sophomores who played on Monday are multisport athletes who also received awards for excellence in second sports other than baseball at last week’s Malden High All-Sports Awards. Soph Ryan Coggswell was the Coach’s Award Choice/MVP for the Golden Tornadoes Varsity Golf Team for Head Coach Rick Malatesta’s team. Zeke Noelsaint was MVP of the MHS Junior Varsity Basketball Team, and Jake Simpson was the Offensive MVP for the Everett-Malden-Revere Co-Op Boys Hockey Team this past winter season.

Last year in the 2021 MBCA Sophomore Select State All-Star Game, the righty was equally dominant, picking up the pitching win and the Most Valuable Pitcher Award with two shutout innings. “It’s a really good opportunity, especially being in my hometown,” said McMahon, who was this past spring, played in his first-ever State All-Star Game Monday. He showed well on Monday, drawing a walk, stealing second and eventually scoring a run for I-93 on a passed ball. “It was a great experience, playing in a game of this level with such excellent players,” said Popp. “I was very happy to get this opportunity.” A pair of big numbers in the third and fourth innings led and gave the kids an opportunity to go out and show what they can do.” In the third inning, Team I-93 sent eight runners to plate and scored five times, including a two-run single from Most Valuable Player Ian Laforest of Waltham. Laforest finished the day two-for-four, driving in three runs and scoring twice, with his other hit coming in a two-run fifth, along with two stolen bases.

Charlie Baker, a $350 million package that includes authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state to be distributed under the Chapter 90 program formula. Thepackage, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $150 million to pay for bus lanes, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. “Chapter 90 provides vital road improvement funding to our communities,” said Sen. John Keenan, the Senate vice-chair of the Transportation Committee. “It is my hope that we will get to the point where we can provide a greater amount in a multi-year appropriation so that municipalities, big and small, will be able to more effectively plan.” Many local officials across the state continue to advocate for additional money to increase the funding and argue that the cost of repairing roads has increased by up to 40 percent while the state has kept this funding flat at $200 million for the past 11 years. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Sen. Jason Lewis Yes Yes Yes ELECTION LAW CHANGES (S 2924) House 126-29, Senate on a voice vote without a roll call, approved and sent to Gov. Baker a conference committee version of a bill making permanent the mail-in and early voting options used in Massachusetts in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The House and Senate had approved different versions of the bill and a conference committee hammered out this compromise version which did not include the section allowing same day voter registration that was in the Senate version but not in the House one. The measure requires the secretary of state to send out mailin ballot applications, with return postage guaranteed, to registered voters before each presidential primary, state primary and biennial state election. It also allows registered voters to request a mail-in ballot for all elections in a single calendar year. Other provisions include reducing the registration blackout period from 20 days prior to an election to 10 days; electronic voting options for voters with disabilities and military service members; allowing a voter with disabilities to request accommodations including an accessible electronic ballot application, ballot and voter affidavit that can be submitted electronically; ensuring that non-felons who are incarcerated who are currently eligible to vote are provided with voting information and materials to exercise their right to vote; and requiring the secretary of state to conduct a comprehensive public awareness campaign to publicize the new voting and registration options. “I’m proud to see the [bill] pass in the House and make its way to the governor’s desk,” said Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover), Senate Chair of the Committee on Election Laws and the co-sponsor of the bill. “When more people participate in voting, democracy wins.” “I am concerned about the amount of money we are spending mailing out mail-in ballot applications when there are plenty of ways a voter can request a mail-in ballot if they want one,” said Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the only Democrat to vote against the measure. “I would rather see these funds go to something more productive like free IDs so that everyone has an ID to vote, open bank accounts and get certain medications that require IDs. We are also putting a tremendous amount of work on our town clerks, especially in our smaller communities like in my district.” "We are thrilled that both the House and Senate have voted in support of the [bill],” said the group MassVOTE. “Even though this version of [the bill] does lack a provision we have long supported—Election Day Registration—we are very glad to see that popular pro-voter policies like mail-in voting, expanded early voting and jail-based voting are included, and will soon become law.” “As a general rule, we should be promoting voting in person and on Election Day,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “Anytime a voter loses control of their ballot before it’s given to an election official, it’s possible it could be lost or altered. The Postal Service cannot guarantee a 100 percent delivery rate.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes COMPREHENSIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PACKAGE (H 4879) House 155-0, approved a bill designed to make mental health care more accessible in the Bay State. Provisions include the implementation of the nationwide 988 hotline to access 24/7 suicide prevention and behavioral health crisis services; a public awareness campaign on the state’s red flag laws that limit access to guns for people at risk of hurting themselves or others; creation of online portals that provide access to real-time data on youth and adults seeking mental health and substance use services, including a function that allows health care providers to easily search and find open beds; giving the state additional tools to enforce existing parity laws which are aimed at providing equal benefits for physical and mental health treatment; and requiring insurance coverage of critical behavioral health services. “Everyone deserves access to quality mental health services, yet far too many people face unnecessary barriers to care,” said Rep. Adrian Madaro (D-East Boston), House Chair of the Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery Committee. “This bill reaffirms the House's commitment to increasing access to behavioral health care across Massachusetts. For too long, the healthcare system has not treated behavioral health as equal to physical health, creating obstacles in addressing the mental health crisis, which has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. That’s why this timely piece of legislation makes critical steps toward prioritizing mental health services for people across the commonwealth, including our youth who have been acutely affected, and those who face challenges in getting the care they need. These policies reflect our strong belief that behavioral health care is essential." “I’m proud of the legislation passed by the House today that builds on our long-standing efforts to advance important reforms and substantial investments that are aimed at improving our behavioral health care delivery system,” said Speaker of the House Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “From addressing the behavioral health crisis that our young people are currently experiencing, to our efforts to alleviate emergency department boarding, to provisions that will bring us closer to treating mental and physical health equally, this legislation will benefit all residents in the commonwealth when accessing critical health care." The Senate approved its own version of the bill in November. A House-Senate conference committee will likely hammer out a compromised version. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS HEALTHCARE – Massachusetts’ health care system is ailing in the lingering aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. Hospitals are suffering severe financial losses, putting smaller providers in peril as the larger players look to expand and consolidate. Behavioral health has become an acute priority in a system with limited capacity. Join the State House News Service and MASSterList for an in-person convening of government and industry leaders on the challenges and opportunities within the commonwealth’s health care system on Tuesday, June 28 at the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) at 10 Winter Place in Boston.

This will allow consumers to buy most products that cost under $2,500 on those two days without paying the state's 6.25 percent sales tax. This annual sales-tax-free weekend was made permanent in 2018 and gives the Legislature the authority to set the dates by June 15 each year. Supporters of the holiday say it has been in effect for many years, would boost retail sales and noted that consumers would save millions of dollars. They argue that the state's sales tax revenue loss would be offset by increased revenue from the meals and gas tax revenue generated by shoppers on those two days. Opponents of the bill say the state cannot afford the up to $30 million estimated revenue loss and argued the holiday actually generates little additional revenue for stores because consumers typically buy the products even without the tax-free days. They say that the Legislature should be looking at broader, deeper tax relief for individuals and businesses and not a tiny tax-free holiday. BORROW $5 BILLION FOR STATE PROJECTS (S 2920) – The Senate approved, on a voice vote without a roll call vote, a $5 billion bond bill that borrows money for hundreds of construction projects—the majority involving maintenance and modernization projects of buildings related to health care, higher education, information technology, workforce development, the environment and affordable housing. Many of the buildings are decades old. The Senate added millions of dollars during consideration of the package. A key provision imposes a five-year moratorium on any prison or jail construction in Massachusetts. “We need a five-year pause on new jail and prison construction and prison expansion to ensure that the pathways away from incarceration for women and for men, pathways that the House and Senate helped create, are being justly used and often used, "said Sen. Jo Comerford(D-Northampton). “These investments will kickstart important projects related to buildings, infrastructure, polBHRC | SEE PAGE 14
Page 14 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or vvy io Is Skin Cancer Hereditary? Dear Savvy Senior, Is skin cancer hereditary? My 63-year-old brother died of melanoma last year, and I’m wondering if I’m at higher risk. Younger Sister Dear Younger, While long-term sun exposure and sunburns are the biggest risk factors for melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – having a sibling or parent with melanoma does indeed increase your risk, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Each year, around 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma, and about 7,500 people will die from it. While anyone can get it, those most often diagnosed are Caucasians, age 50 and older. And those with the highest risk are people with red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, fair skin, freckles, moles, a family history of skin cancer and those who had blistering sunburns in their youth. Skin Exams The best way you can guard against melanoma and other skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) is to protect yourself from the sun, and if you’re over age 50, get a full-body skin exam done by a dermatologist every year, especially if you’re high risk. Self-examinations done every month or so is also a smart way to detect early problems. Using mirrors, check the front and backside of your entire body, including the tops and undersides of your arms and hands, between your toes and the soles of your feet, your neck, scalp and buttocks. Be on the lookout for new growths, moles that have changed, or sores that don’t heal, and follow the ABCDE rule when examining suspicious moles. • Asymmetry: One half of a mole doesn’t match the other. • Border: The border is blurred or ragged. • Color: The mole has uneven colors, often shades of brown, tan or black, with patches of pink, red, white or blue. • Diameter: The lesion is new or at least a quarter inch in diameter. • Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape or color. For more self-examination tips and actual pictures of what to look for, see SpotSkinCancer.org or use a skin cancer detection app like Miiskin.com, MoleMapper.org or SkinVision.com. In the spring and summer, there are also a variety of places that off er free skin cancer screenings, like the American Academy of Dermatology (spotskincancer.org) and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (asds.net/skincancerscreening.aspx), which off er screenings done by volunteer dermatologists across the U.S. Sun Protection Even though you can’t change your skin or family history, there are some proven strategies that can help you protect yourself. For starters, when you go outside put-on broad-spectrum SPF 30, water-resistant sunscreen on both sunny and cloudy days. If you don’t like the rub-on lotions, try the continuous spray-on sunscreens which are easier to apply and re-apply and less messy. Also, seek the shade when rays are most intense – between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. You can also protect your skin by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and long sleeves and pants when possible. The best clothing options are tightly woven fabrics that help prevent the sun’s rays from reaching your skin, or you can wash in an invisible shield sun protection into your clothes with SunGuard laundry additive (see sunguarduv.com). You can even buy a variety of lightweight clothing and hats that off er maximum UV protection in their fabric. Coolibar.com and SunPrecautions.com are two good sites that off er these products. Treatments If caught early, melanoma is nearly 100 percent curable. But if it’s not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body where it becomes hard to treat and can be fatal. Standard early treatment for melanoma is surgical removal. In advanced cases, however, immunotherapies and targeted therapies have shown positive results, or chemotherapy and radiation may be used.

Michael Rodrigues (D -Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This legislation represents the Senate’s commitment to ensuring that our commonwealth’s institutions are modernized while continuing to responsibly steward our state’s fi scal health and strengthening our reputation as a good place to do business.” said Sen. Nick Collins (D-Boston), Senate Chair of the Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. There were 174 amendments filed by members, many of which were offered by legislators for projects in their own district. Members pitched their amendments behind closed doors. In the end, there was debate on only a few individual amendments while most were bundled into two mega-consolidated amendments and approved or rejected on a voice vote without a roll call. The “Yes” mega-amendments included 127 amendments while the “No” ones included 18 amendments. The House passed its own version of the package on May 19. A House-Senate conference committee will likely hammer out a compromise version that will then be sent to the governor. ALLOW DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (H 4805) – The House and Senate held a ceremonial bill signing for legislation that would allow, starting July 1, 2023, undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license. The governor had vetoed the bill and the House and Senate overrode the veto—making it impossible to hold a signing of the bill by the governor. The legislation requires an applicant “without legal presence” in the United States to provide the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) with a foreign passport and at least one of fi ve other documents: a driver's license from another state, a foreign driver's license, a birth certifi - cate, a foreign national identifi - cation card or a marriage certificate or divorce decree from any “I cannot sign this legislation because it requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue state credentials to people without the ability to verify their identity,” Baker had said in his veto message. “The Registry does not have the expertise or ability to verify the validity of many types of documents from other countries. The bill also fails to include any measures to distinguish standard Massachusetts driver’s licenses issued to persons who demonstrate lawful presence from those who don’t.” "[This] is a piece of legislation I have been proud to colead on since I fi rst entered the Senate," said Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfi eld). “As a proud Puerto Rican … and the state senator for a district that is rich in diversity, I know that this bill will benefi t generations of families across the commonwealth. Our state is rich in culture and has a deep-rooted sense of community. The Senate further affirmed their commitment to protecting all families, regardless of status, by overriding the governor’s veto of this bill and enacting it into law.” “We are a nation of immigrants, and our commonwealth continues to be profoundly and positively shaped by immigrants from all over the world,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “They deserve to be able to safely get to work and school, care for their families and participate in the lives of their communities. I am thrilled that the Legislature has voted to override Gov. Baker’s veto on this measure, which supports families, improves public safety and is good for our economy.” In the meantime, “Fair and Secure Massachusetts,” a group attempting to repeal the new law, is collecting signatures to put the issue on the November state ballot to let voters decide whether to repeal the law or let it go into eff ect in July 2023. To get the question on the ballot, supporters must collect 40,120 signatures by August 24. SEXUAL ASSAULT UNDER FALSE MEDICAL REPRESENTATION (H 1661) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that makes it a criminal off ense when a medical or healthcare professional induces a patient to engage in sexual intercourse or touching by falsely representing that the act is necessary for a legitimate medical purpose. The measure adds sections to the existing rape and indecent assault and battery statutes to criminalize behavior by medical professionals where there has been a fraudulent representation of the necessity and propriety of conduct and adds these crimes to the law on the statute of limitations for other sexual assaults. Supporters said that under existing law the offender cannot be criminally punished. “I am pleased that my colleagues in the House voted to pass [the bill] as it will establish protections for vulnerable patients and criminalize medical or healthcare professionals who knowingly and falsely claim sexual contact for a medical purpose,” said sponsor Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow). “This legislation provides necessary updates to Massachusetts' sexual assault laws.” MASSACHUSETTS COALITION OF POLICE (H 2163) – The House gave initial approval to a measure that would allow members of the Massachusetts Coalition of Police to be paid when attending executive board meetings of their group without having to use accrued time off for their absence. Supporters said that current law allows for members of the Massachusetts Police Association, a fraternal organization, to be excused from duty while attending executive board meetings. “The Massachusetts Coalition of Police is the largest police union in the commonwealth,” said sponsor Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “Currently, [its] executive board members must use accrued time off from their departments to attend executive board meetings. This bill affords the same courtesy as those in other organizations in being excused from duty to conduct this important business.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The Senate stands in recess subject to the call of the chair. We’ll come back when we feel like it.” ---Sen. William Brownsberger (D-Belmont) adding a little humor to the Senate session. “The gang’s all here.” ---Gov. Baker upon the arrival ofhis counterparts Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano for a joint press conference with reporters. “Logan is one of the nation’s busiest airports and its workers provide invaluable assistance in order to get passengers where they need to be. Raising the minimum wage is a victory for these workers and one they very much deserve. This decision is not only a step in the right direction for the airBHRC | SEE PAGE 15
BHRC | FROM PAGE15 port but for the community as a whole.” --- Massport Board Member John Nucci on Massport’s hiking of the minimum wage for certain Massport workers from $15 to $16 on July 1, 2022, and then to $17 on January 1,2023. “As we enter summer with drought conditions across much of the commonwealth, we ask residents to follow any local water restrictions, minimize water usage and be cautious when using charcoal grills, matches, fire pits and other open flames. [We] will continue to work with our partners and the inter-agency Drought Mission Group to coordinate the response to the drought conditions.” --- Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Acting Director Dawn Brantley. 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.
