There was good news and some room for improvement areas in Guidepost’s report. According to Guidepost SCHOOLING AROUND: Shown from left to right: Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya, State Rep.

Guidepost pointed out that there is no district-wide security plan. Guidepost did note that all schools had enhanced drills and emergency training. But there is no bystander reporting system in place that would allow anyone to relay a message of concern to a security staff member. Guidepost said that it was a relatively new measure, and it involves multiple ways students or staff can report concerns. Guidepost also highlighted the fact there is no behavior threat assessment management program that can evaluate concerns and monitor situations. “They would be staying on top of school temperature and culture,” said Guidepost. And they would connect with programs to support academic, social and emotional growth. “We have a lot of pieces in place,” said Superintendent Dianne Kelly. “It’s the structure around them and writing them down so there’s an actual policy or proceSCHOOL SAFETY | SEE Page 18 Second annual All-Abilities Day at Revere Beach hosted by Revere Commission on Disabilities By Th e Advocate R alph DeCicco, Chair of the Revere Commission on Disabilities, hosted the second annual “All-Abilities Day” on historic Revere Beach, thanks to a grant from Save the Har2nd ANNUAL | SEE Page 10 A DAY AT THE BEACH: Revere Commission on Disabilities Chair and event organizer Ralph DeCicco welcomed guests from Revere Adult Daycare on Revere Beach Pkwy. to the All-Abilities Day event.

B OSTON — Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins, who serves as the Sheriff for the Suff olk County Sheriff ’s Department, has been charged with extortion involving the purchase of an equity interest in a Boston-based cannabis company. Tompkins, 67, of Boston, Mass., was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of Extortion Under Color of Offi cial Right. He was taken into custody this morning in the Southern District of Florida and will have an initial appearance at 11:00 a.m. He will appear in federal court in Boston at a later date. 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

The fi ve checks totaling $50,000 allegedly issued by Individual A to Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins (Courtesy of U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, District of Mass) www.810bargrille.com “Mr. Tompkins is a sitting Sheriff, responsible for over 1,000 employees, who was elected by the good people of Suff olk County. Today, he is alleged to have extorted an executive from a cannabis company, using his official position as Sheriff to benefi t himself. Elected offi cials, particularly those in law enforcement, are expected to be ethical, honest and law abiding — not selfserving. His alleged actions are an aff ront to the voters and taxpayers who elected him to his position, and the many dedicated and honest public servants at the Suff olk County Sheriff ’s Department. The people of Suffolk County deserve better,” said United States Attorney Leah B. Foley. “Public corruption remains a top priority for my administration and we will continue to investigate and prosecute anyone who uses their position of trust and power for their own gain.” “From his very first day as Suff olk County Sheriff , Steven Tompkins sought to portray himself as a man of the people — a principled public servant and reformer, devoted to the cause of justice. That’s why it’s beyond disappointing that he’s now accused of gaming a system instituted in the interests of public safety and fair play. The FBI took Sheriff Tompkins into custody today for allegedly extorting $50,000 from the owner of a national cannabis retailer seeking to do business in Boston. We believe what the Sheriff saw as an easy way to make a quick buck on the sly is clear cut corruption under federal law,” said Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division. “The citizens of Suff olk County deserve better, not a man who is accused of trading on his position to bankroll his own political and fi nancial future. Public servants must be held to the highest of ethical standards, and those falling short will be rooted out.” CHARGED | SEE Page 14

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2025 Page 7 Massachusetts Legislature Strengthens Protections for Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Health Care Services Legislation in response to federal threats bans data sharing, shields patients and providers B OSTON — The Massachusetts Legislature recently passed a bill known as the healthcare Shield Act 2.0, a bill that will fortify protections for those seeking and providing reproductive and gender-affi rming care in the Commonwealth. The bill, S.2543, which was approved by both the Senate and House chambers on a bipartisan basis, continues the Legislature’s track record of ensuring patients are able to make decisions regarding their own health care. The Shield Act 2.0 protects access to reproductive and transgender healthcare in Massachusetts. It also adds a layer of protection for patients and providers at a time when attacks on reproductive and transgender rights are escalating on multiple fronts, including executive orders from the Trump Administration, federal funding freezes for care providers, a Supreme Court decision ruling against transgender care, and other states’ lawsuits against physicians providing reproductive healthcare. It builds off the model legislation of the ROE Act and the original shield legislation enacted in 2022. “Massachusetts will not back down when it comes to protecting our residents and defending our values,” stated Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Our residents—indeed all Americans—deserve the right to make their own health care decisions in consultation with their providers. In Massachusetts, we do not discriminate based on the type of care you seek, and this bill strengthens protections for transgender people and those who have the ability to get pregnant. I applaud Senator Cindy Friedman and the Senate Committee on Steering and Policy for coalescing around this bill at this crucial time as part of the Senate’s Response 2025 initiative. I’d also like to thank Senate Judiciary Chair Edwards, Senate Ways and Means Chair Rodrigues, and my Senate colleagues, along with Speaker Mariano and our colleagues in the House, for getting this bill to the Governor’s desk.” “As the Trump Administration and Republicans across the country continue to target individuals for exercising their right to make their own health care decisions in consultation with their doctor, this legislation is representative of the Legislature’s commitment to preserving that fundamental right,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “This Shield Act builds on the Commonwealth’s proud history of preserving and expanding access to reproducLEGISLATURE | SEE Page 21 SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welo welcome the loyal customers of tino Insur nce is p yal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.

City Hall, Revere, Massachusetts, Monday through Thursday from 8:15AM to 5:00PM and on Friday 8:15AM-12:15PM. Proponent/opponent testimony will be accepted in writing via email to amelnik@revere.org on or before August 19, 2025. Attest: Ashley E. Melnik City Clerk August 15, 2025 Tompkins currently serves as the Sheriff for the Suff olk County Sheriff ’s Department (SCSD). He was fi rst appointed Sheriff in 2013, elected as Sheriff in a special election in or about 2014, and thereafter elected to successive six-year terms. As Sheriff , Tompkins oversees approximately 1,000 correctional offi cers and other employees responsible for operating and maintaining correctional facilities in Boston at the House of Correction and the Nashua Street Jail. According to court documents, in 2019, the cannabis company, Company A, sought to open a retail cannabis dispensary in Boston and applied to the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) for a dispensary license. To satisfy the Positive Impact Plan (PIP) requirement of the CCC, Company A entered into a partnership with the SCSD whereby the SCSD would help screen and refer graduates of its re-entry program to apply for work at Company A’s retail store. Company A’s partnership with the SCSD was memorialized in a September 2019 letter signed by Tompkins and submitted to the CCC in its completed dispensary license application in or about March 2020. In or about March 2021, the CCC approved a license for Company A to operate a cannabis dispensary in Boston. The CCC later approved license renewal applications for Company A in 2021, 2022 and 2023. In each of the renewal applications, Company A included its ongoing partnership with the SCSD as part of its fulfi llment of the PIP requirement. According to court docu Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 185 of the Acts of 1983, 1. 2. Location Type 3. Attest: Christopher Ciaramella - Chairman of the Traffic Commission August 15, 2025 ” ments, one of Company A’s goals was to raise capital to launch an initial public off ering (IPO) and then continue its growth as a publicly traded company. Company A offi cials, including a company executive identifi ed as Individual A, sought multimilliondollar investments from institutions or other high net-worth, sophisticated investors in order to raise capital. Company A offi - cials, including Individual A, were not looking to raise capital from the general public or small, individual investors. Beginning in or about mid-2020, Company A began preparing for an IPO of Company A stock, which included producing audited fi nancial statements, hiring attorneys to ensure compliance with securities laws and obtaining additional fi nancing from large scale and high net-worth investors, among other things. It is alleged that Tompkins pressured Individual A for stock, reminding Individual A that Tompkins had helped Company A in its Boston licensing eff orts. It is alleged that Individual A believed and feared that Tompkins would use his offi cial position as Sheriff to jeopardize Company A’s partnership with the SCSD and thus imperil both the dispensary license for Company A, as well as the timing of the IPO. In fact, in October 2020, Company A asked Tompkins for an updated partnership letter to submit to the CCC for its yearly renewal of Company A’s Boston license. Within one month of signing the October 2020 SCSD partnership letter with Company A, and after increased pressure on Individual A, Tompkins allegedly obtained a pre-IPO interest in Company A stock after Individual A relented to Tompkins’s demands. In November 2020, Tompkins allegedly wired a $50,000 payment from his retirement account to an account controlled by Individual A. Tompkins paid a pre-IPO price of approximately $1.73 per share of Company A stock (equity equivalent to 28,883 shares), and after a reverse stock split, Tompkins held approximately 14,417 shares at a price of approximately $3.46 per share. According to court documents, in or about mid-2021, when Company A launched its IPO, the stock had a value of approximately $9.60 per share. Thus, Tompkins’s $50,000 purchase of 14,417 shares of Company A stock had appreciated to an approximate value of $138,403. In May 2022, Company A stock decreased in value such that Tompkins’s equity interest in Company A stock was worth several thousand dollars less than the $50,000 he originally invested. However, Tompkins demanded a refund of $50,000 and, despite the decrease in the value of Tompkins’s investment, Individual A agreed to Tompkins’s demands for full repayment of $50,000. Subsequently, from approximately May 2022 to July 2023, Individual A refunded Tompkins’ $50,000 investment by issuing Tompkins fi ve checks. Allegedly in accordance with Tompkins’ wishes, Individual A wrote memos on certain checks that read “loan repayment” and “[company] expense” to disguise the nature of some of the payments. The charges of extortion under color of offi cial right each provide for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case. U.S. Attorney Foley and FBI SAC Docks made the announcement. Special assistance was provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Assistant United States Attorneys John Mulcahy of the Public Corruption & Special Prosecutions Unit and Dustin Chao, Chief of the Public Corruption & Special Prosecutions Unit, are prosecuting the case. The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Answers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are in our 50’s and would like to know what resources you recommend for locating senior discounts, and what age do they kick in? Frugal Fay Dear Fay, One of the great perks of growing older in America is the many discounts that are available. There are literally thousands of senior discounts on a wide variety of products and services including restaurants, travel and lodging, entertainment, retail, health, grocery stores, automotive services and much more. These discounts — typically ranging between 5 and 25 percent off — can add up to save you hundreds of dollars each year. So, if you don’t mind admitting your age, here are some tips and tools to help you locate the discounts you may be eligible for. Always Ask The fi rst thing to know is that most businesses don’t advertise them, but many give senior discounts, so don’t be shy about asking. You also need to know that while some discounts are available as soon as you turn 50, many others may not kick in until you turn 55, 60, 62 or 65. Search Online Because senior discounts frequently change and can vary depending on where you live and the time of year, the internet is the easiest way to locate them. A good place to start is at TheSeniorList.com (click on the “Money” tab), which provides a large list of discounts in restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores, and for prescription medications, travel and more. You can also search for discounts by provider. Go to any standard search engine like Google or Bing and type in the business or organization you’re curious about, followed by “senior discount” or “senior discount tickets.” Or use an AI tool like Chat GPT or Gemini to do a search. If you use an iPhone, you can even use the “Senior Discounts & Coupons” app (available in the App Store), which categorizes discounts by age and type. Join a Club Another good avenue to senior discounts is through membership organizations like AARP, which off ers its members age 50 and older a wide variety of discounts through affi liate businesses — see AARP.org/ ViewMyBenefi ts. If, however, you don’t like or agree with AARP, or don’t want to pay the $15 membership fee, there are other organizations you can join that also provide discounts like the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC.us), the American Automobile Association (AAA.com), or for retired federal workers, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE.org). Types of Discounts Here’s an abbreviated rundown of some of the diff erent types of discounts you can expect to fi nd. Restaurants: Senior discounts are common at restaurants and fast-food establishments — like Chili’s, Denny’s, Golden Corral, Outback Steakhouse, McDonald’s and Sonic — ranging from free/discounted drinks to discounts off your total order. Retailers: Many thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army, and certain retailers like Joann, Kohl’s, Michaels, Ross, PetSmart and Walgreens stores off er a break to seniors on certain days of the week. Supermarkets: Many locally owned grocery stores off er senior discount programs, as do some chains like BI-LO, Piggly-Wiggly, Fry’s, New Seasons, Fred Meyer and Hy-Vee, which off er discounts on certain days of the week. Travel: American, Delta and United Airlines provide discounted senior fares for select destinations in the U.S. to passengers 65 plus, while British Airlines off ers AARP members $65 off economy seats. Amtrak provides a 10 percent discount to travelers over 65. Most car rental companies give discounts to 50-plus customers or AARP members. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Carnival cruise lines off er senior rates to cruisers 55 and over. And, most hotels off er senior discounts, usually ranging from 10 to 30 percent. Entertainment: Most movie theaters, museums, golf courses, ski slopes and other public entertainment venues provide reduced admission to seniors over 60 or 65. And the National Park Service off ers a lifetime senior pass for those 62 and older for $80. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2025 Page 19 By Bob Katzen If you have any questions about this week’s report, e-mail us at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com or call us at (617) 720-1562 THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from recent sessions. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. $259 MILLION FISCAL 2025 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (S 2575) House 150-6, Senate on a voice vote without a roll call, approved and Gov. Maura Healey signed into law a $259 million fi scal 2025 supplemental budget. The measure provides $40 million for the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) to hire about 320 additional public defenders. This supplemental budget did not include this investment in legal representation for indigent defendants when the governor fi rst fi led it, but a work stoppage among private attorneys who take cases as bar advocates had since led some criminal defendants to have charges against them dropped. The Legislature added the $40 million. The budget would provide bar advocates with a $20-an-hour raise over two years — compared to the $60-an-hour raise that some bar advocates were seeking. Supporters said the $40 million will more than double the CPCS’s existing workforce. They noted that increasing the proportion of indigent clients represented by public defenders—as opposed to private bar advocates, who are independent contractors—will help stabilize the public defense system in Massachusetts. “This agreement provides a substantial raise for bar advocates that refl ects our commitment to supporting the important work that they do, even in a challenging budget year,” said Gov. Healey upon signing the budget. “Despite chaos at the federal level, the Massachusetts Legislature remains committed to delivering important services to our residents and communities, ensuring our bills are paid, practicing fi scal responsibility and maintaining access to justice for all,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashlan) Not everyone agreed with that assessment. The Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (MACDL) said in a statement that the raise is not suffi cient and pledged that the MACDL will “continue to support the tireless advocacy, commitment and selfl essness of the many bar advocates who stand in solidarity to make their voices heard.” The statement continued, “The rates for bar advocates in Massachusetts remain insufficient and will not solve the current constitutional crisis. This legislation does not bring the rate of pay for bar advocates anywhere near the rate of pay for appointed attorneys in neighboring states.” “I say to you today and to the leadership, we’re going nowhere,” said Sean Delaney an advocate of the higher wages. “Your ridiculous proposal that you put forward yesterday has only strengthened our resolve.” In the meantime, despite the signing of the bill, some criminal defendants who haven’t been appointed a lawyer in the past 45 days continue to have charges against them dismissed. Other provisions in the budget include $60 million for Home Care Services; $43 million for Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT); $15.5 million for increasing the security of Electronic Benefi ts Transfer (EBT) cards by transitioning to chip cards; $7.5 million for the Healthy Incentives Program which both strengthens food security for residents and supports Massachusetts farmers in the face of federal funding cuts; $6 million for veterans’ benefits; $4 million for the Massachusetts State Police crime lab; and $1 million for the Fair Housing Fund. “Amid President Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education, and amid sweeping cuts at the federal level to programs that millions of Americans rely on, this supplemental budget makes key investments that will ensure continued funding for state programs that support many of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable residents,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “[This budget] has a carryover from the last budget, still spending money on illegal immigrants and pushing transgenderism and abortion,” said Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver). “Until the Democrat-led Legislature wakes up to reality that these policies are destroying our state, I will continue to vote ‘No’ and I encourage other Democrat leaders to recognize reality and step up to be a voice for sanity and healthy citizens. Additionally, while I think the attorneys should be paid better to defend the indigent, I believe there are better ways than letting criminals go free.” Five other representatives voted against the budget but did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to explain why they voted against it. The fi ve representatives, all Republicans, are Reps. Brad Jones (RNorth Reading); Paul Frost (R-Auburn); Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick); Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica); and Alyson Sullivan-Almedia (R-Abington). (A “Yes” vote is for the $259 million budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $3.5 MILLION FOR DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for the Department of Mental Health (DMH) by $3.5 million (from $15.5 million to $19 million) to support diversion programs that off er treatment alternatives to incarceration for individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders. It also directs the DMH to update regulations to improve discharge protocols for patients leaving mental health and substance use facilities that are overseen by the state. “This amendment gets money and training into the hands of the people doing the hardest work-the officers, clinicians and outreach workers who are often the first to encounter our most vulnerable constituents,” said amendment sponsor Sen.

Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes APPEAL MBTA COMMUNITIES ACT (S 3) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment to the current law, known as the MBTA Communities Act, which according to the state’s website, requires that an MBTA community “must have at least one zoning district of reasonable size in which multi-family housing is permitted as of right and meets other criteria including minimum gross density of 15 units per acre; and a location not more than 1/2 mile from a REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 Alcantar, Adolfo R Andino, Joaquin P Biryukov, Victor De Iglesias, Marlene I Frieden, Jack J Loring, Cindy Patel, Hitendra Rivera, Alba V Schilp, Donald E Schilp, Phyllis M BUYER2 Sierra, Noel T Biryukov, Madina SELLER1 Gloria C Di Pietro T Pungan, Marian Lane, Andrea Alesio, Arsu V Obrien, Julie D Muralles, Astri C Duggan, John S Focus Properties LLC Chaves, Paulo C SELLER2 Di Pietro 3rd, Philip Pungan, Ramona Lane, Kathleen Gonzalez, Porfi rio A ADDRESS 17 Reservoir Ave 1133 N Shore Rd #404 40 Fowler Ave 1047 Revere Beach Pkwy commuter rail station, subway station, ferry terminal or bus station. No age restrictions can be applied and the district must be suitable for families with children.” The amendment would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop and promulgate regulations allowing a city or town aff ected by the zoning provisions of the MBTA Communities Act to appeal for relief from those provisions. The amendment would also require any appeal to be based on at least one of the following criteria: the community’s inability to meet the drinking water supply or wastewater requirements necessary to support the housing units authorized by the law’s zoning provisions; the inability of municipal transportation infrastructure to safely accommodate the increased population attributable to this housing development; and any adverse environmental impacts attributable to the development of housing units under this act. “Allowing for these exceptions provides an avenue for a town to rightfully appeal the MBTA Community decision in cases where more harm than good is present,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his amendment. “I voted against [this amendment] because it was based on what I believe is the inaccurate premise that a municipality must permit construction of housing in MBTA community zones even if there is an inadequate drinking water supply, wastewater capabilities, transportation infrastructure and environmental protections,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy). (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment allowing an appeal. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Sen.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2025 Page 21 LEGISLATURE | FROM Page 7 tive and gender-affirming care by establishing new safeguards around patient data, and by protecting health care professionals who provide that vital care. I would like to thank Chair Michlewitz, Chair Day, and all my colleagues in the House, along with Senate President Spilka and our partners in the Senate, for their commitment to protecting the rights of our residents.” “As a woman, I know firsthand what it means to live in a country where our most personal health care decisions are being politicized, attacked, and stripped away,” said Representative Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere). “This bill is about protecting people’s rights to control their own bodies, something that should never be up for debate. I’m proud that Massachusetts is once again standing strong against a tide of dangerous, regressive policies and sending a clear message: here, we trust people to make their own health care decisions with dignity, privacy, and respect.” “The Massachusetts Legislature is once again standing up to defend the rights of Massachusetts residents,” said Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), Chair of the Senate Committee on Steering and Policy, the committee tasked with leading the Senate’s Response 2025 eff ort. “Now, facing a wave of new threats on our autonomy from the federal government and other states, this legislation will enhance the protections for patients and providers we first put in place in 2022. In the Commonwealth, legally protected health care is just that, and we will always step up to uphold this and fi ght for our residents.” “The federal government has made one thing clear: Massachusetts is on her own when it comes to protecting the privacy and constitutional rights of our residents. Today, we meet this challenge by ensuring that legally protected healthcare decisions made here in the Commonwealth do not become the basis for radical prosecutors in other states to exploit individuals or encourage corporations to profi t off our personal data,” said Representative Michael S. Day (DStoneham), House Chair of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary. “The Legislature will always protect our own residents and we will continuously re-affi rm the fact that all of our residents have equal protections under our laws and have control over their own healthcare decisions.” Several states have recently passed laws restricting access to reproductive and gender-affi rming healthcare while threatening to prosecute individuals who seek those services in Massachusetts. The Shield Act 2.0 prohibits state agencies and law enforcement from cooperating with other states or federal investigations into legally protected reproductive or transgender healthcare provided in Massachusetts. Businesses that manage electronic health information would similarly be limited in sharing patient data connected to these services. The bill also makes practical updates to protect providers, including: allowing prescriptions to be issued with the name of a healthcare practice rather than an individual practitioner; excluding certain reproductive and genderaffi rming medications from the state’s drug monitoring programs; and limiting third-party access to related medical records. It also makes clear that healthcare professionals are free to provide legal care services in Massachusetts, and the Commonwealth will resist attempts by other states or the federal government to prosecute healthcare professionals for providing those services. Additional provisions of the bill include: • Enhancing license protections for anyone providing or assisting in the provision of reproductive or transgender care. • Forbidding insurance companies from discriminating against or penalizing providers who off er reproductive and gender-affi rming care. • Protecting attorneys licensed in Massachusetts from removal or discipline for advising or representing clients on the topics of reproductive or transgender care. • Clarifying that Boards of Registration may not take disciplinary actions against practitioners for providing legally protected care and prohibiting boards from noting in a provider’s records any criminal, legal or disciplinary actions brought against them in other jurisdictions for providing care that is legally protected in Massachusetts. • Prohibiting courts from admitting or considering cases of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment brought against parents or caregivers because they support their child in seeking reproductive or transgender care. • Mandating that acute care hospitals provide stabilizing health services—including abortion care when necessary—to any patient who is injured or seeking emergency treatment, in response to the Trump Administration’s rollback of Biden-era guidance on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) that required hospitals to deliver abortion care in cases of emergency. Both chambers of the Legislature having voted to enact the Shield Act 2.0, the legislation will now be sent to the Governor for her signature. YOUR LOCAL NEWS & SPORTS IN SIX LANGUAGES.
