Page 20 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 BEACON | FROM Page 18 juvenile courts may divert accused juveniles from prison to community service. The measure gives juvenile judges the opportunity to decide, based on the facts of the case, if a child would be better served through a diversion program and receiving appropriate services in a community setting. “This legislation will reduce recidivism by providing more young people a chance to receive appropriate services in response to a bad decision and ultimately avoid the collateral consequences of a juvenile record,” said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “As the lead sponsor of the bill, I am happy that the Senate passed this important reform to our juvenile justice system.” “I voted [against the bill] because of the provisions … expanding its scope to include violent crimes including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon,” said Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). He noted that the inclusion of these off enses as part of the expansion is a signifi cant concern to the district attorney serving the constituents he represents and local law enforcement experts. He argued that some amendments that were rejected ultimately would have struck a better balance. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ACUPUNCTURE DETOX SPECIALISTS (S 2957) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would have the Bay State join 27 other states and allow certain qualifi ed health care professionals to perform the standardized 5 needle-point ear acupuncture detoxifi cation protocol (5NP) - an extremely cost-eff ective treatment that has been shown to help those suff ering from addiction and trauma. Research shows the treatment helps with addiction withdrawals, reduces drug cravings, decreases stress, anxiety, depression and other symptoms. Supporters said this is an aff ordable treatment with treatment costs estimated to be 23 cents per person and training costs as low as $125 per person. They noted that Massachusetts is currently the only New England state that does not have such a law. “The opioid epidemic has aff ected all of our communities,” said sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “This bill makes the 5NP protocol more accessible by expanding certifi cation to qualifi ed healthcare professionals. By doing this, we expand access to addiction treatment and add another tool to fi ght against opioid addiction at minimal cost.” HIV PREVENTION DRUGS (S 2955) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow pharmacists to prescribe, dispense and administer a short-term supply (60-days once in a two-year period) of HIV prevention drugs, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP), to a patient without a prescription. The bill requires pharmacists to provide counseling regarding the use of PrEP and to connect patients without a primary care provider with a health care provider for ongoing care and to obtain a prescription for PrEP. “PrEP is a game changer in HIV prevention that reduces the risk of HIV transmission by 99 percent,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D- Truro). “While there has been great progress in managing HIV since the virus was fi rst identifi ed, tens of thousands of people continue to contract HIV each year, and gay and bisexual men, especially gay and bisexual men of color, are disproportionately impacted. Increasing access to this vital treatment by enabling pharmacists to prescribe PrEP and improving access to care by requiring pharmacists to link customers to medical care will bolster the Commonwealth’s overall public health and address health care inequities.” ANOTHER REP ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE - Eight-year incumbent Amesbury Republican Rep. Jim Kelcourse has become the seventh representative to announce his resignation from the House to take another job. Kelcourse was confi rmed by the Governor’s Council for a position on the State Parole Board that grants and supervises parolees. He resigned his House seat last week, bringing the total number of GOP members in the House to 27. Democrats currently hold the other 126 seats. “While I’m genuinely looking forward to serving the commonwealth in a new way in my new role, I will miss this job and this body,” said Kelcourse in his farewell speech on the House fl oor. “I won’t miss running for re-election every two years, but I will miss going door-to-door to talk to people in my district. I will miss pickOBITUARIES Edward Demaso, III March 7, 1986 - July 2, 2022 on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 at 11:00am Private Interment.

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 O f Revere on July 4, 2022. Beloved wife of the late David W. “Gramps”. Ginger worked for a short time as a tax preparer at the State Department of Revenue, but being a mother and grandmother was Ginger’s favorite job title. She was a fulltime Nana for her grandsons and loved every minute of it. She didn’t miss any of their events 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 fi led. 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 June 27-July 1, the House met for a total of eleven hours and 14 minutes and the Senate met for a total of seven hours and Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
