Hello everyone! 

Over the next couple of months, we are making some changes to the business hours of the Franklin taproom. Starting this week, the taproom will not operate on Thursdays. 

The hours for the Wrentham Beer Garden will 
remain the same through the end of the season or as long as the weather permits. We will keep you updated on any changes to the taproom hours when the time comes. 

Cheers!

Senator Becca Rausch: February Beacon Hill Roundup

The newsletter is shortened for publication here. To view the full set of contents, follow this link ->  https://mailchi.mp/162be8a34626/reopeningupdate-15917400

Favorable committee votes, bills passed, and celebrating local Black history in our district!

View this email in your browser Senator Rausch State House Briefing    Part 2, Chapter 13 (February 17, 2021)    Dear friends,    It was great to see many of you last month at Virtual Town Hall! We had a terrific turnout of more than 100 people and discussed a wide range of policy areas and aspects of the legislative process. For those of you who missed it, feel free to join me in office hours or stay tuned for the next one!   With just over 5 months left in this legislative session, lawmaking is in full swing on Beacon Hill. I have been hard at work as Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture, advancing bills concerning sustainability, environmental justice, and more. I've also been advocating for the legislation I filed, and I am pleased to share that 11 (and counting!) of my bills earned favorable committee reports and are moving forward to the next stage of the legislative process! More details on that below. I was also proud to vote YES on a few key bills that came to the Senate floor. We passed a supplemental COVID-19 spending bill investing another $101 million in our communities to boost access to rapid tests, high quality masks, and vaccines, and shore up the emergency paid sick leave fund. The bill also included a requirement for a vaccine equity plan, derived from my COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Act. While the Governor signed the bulk of that bill into law this week, he vetoed and filed amendments on four key elements, including the vaccine equity component and the February 28 deadline for masks, testing, and vaccine accessibility. I also voted YES for the PACT Act, a comprehensive bill designed to lower prescription drug costs for our Commonwealth's families. Among other things, the PACT Act would cap insulin costs at $25 per 30-day supply and ensure that patients can get their medicines at their pharmacies of choice. I anticipate many more bills to come to the floor shortly, so stay tuned.  Read on for more about legislation on the move, rich local stories for Black History Month, State House reopening, and office hours. For real-time updates, please follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you are a constituent and need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me and my team via phone (617-722-1555) or email (becca.rausch@masenate.gov). We are here to help.   I wish you and your loved ones strength, health, resilience, and joy.     Yours in service,     Senator Becca Rausch    February has been a busy month for policy work. Joint Rule 10 day is the deadline by which every committee must take some kind of action on every timely filed bill. If you want to learn more about the process, check out my Low Budget Beacon Hill video on how a bill actually becomes a law. I'm proud to share that many of my bills were reported favorably out of committee:  S.142 | An act providing a bill of rights for people experiencing homelessness S.142 S.143 | An act providing for diaper changing stations in public buildings and accommodations S.382 | An act relative to celebrating and teaching Native American culture and history  S.608 | An act relative to recycling car seats  S.1127 | An act prohibiting body size discrimination  S.1128 | An act expanding confidentiality to certain sexual assault counselors  S.1356 | An Act further addressing challenges to municipal governance caused by the COVID-19 emergency heard in Municipalities  S.1635 | An act to ensure compliance with the anti-shackling law for pregnant incarcerated women  S.1636 | An act relative to health education in women's correctional institutions S.2106 | An act modernizing birth certificates  S.2232 | An act relative to better buildings  Protects people experiencing homelessness from discrimination in housing, employment and voter registration. Requires gender-neutral, semiprivate baby diaper changing stations in public buildings and accommodations. Requires development of educational curriculum teaching Massachusetts tribal history and issues.  Establishes a state program to enable recycling of child passenger restraints. Updates existing sexual assault confidentiality statute to extend protections to records of licensed mental health counselors.  Prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person's height or weight.  Gives municipalities the option to conduct remote town meetings. Ensures that pregnant inmates will not be shackled while giving birth or receiving post-partum care.  Requires the department of corrections to provide health, contraception, and sex education to inmates at women's correctional institutions.  Updates birth certificates to recognize all families and advance equity and inclusivity.  Creates energy use standards for large non-residential buildings in Massachusetts.  Several of the bills I filed received extensions in their respective committees, meaning they are still under active consideration, so I'm looking forward to additional favorable reports in the weeks ahead. Updates to come! Virtual Evening Office Hours   Sign up for a 15-minute appointment here.     My team and I host virtual office hours every month. Residents from any part of the Norfolk, Bristol and Middlesex District, as well as residents of the Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex District (which takes effect in January 2023), are welcome to share their questions and opinions on state issues with me and my team via video chat or phone call.          Upcoming virtual office hours:     Monday, March 7, 5-6 PM  Monday, April 4, 5-6 PM  Our mailing address is: The Office of Senator Becca Rausch Massachusetts State House, Room 218                           24 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02133

Policy updates, COVID boosters, and a great start to the holiday season.

View this email in your browser Senator Rausch State House Briefing    Part 2, Chapter 11 (November 30, 2021)    Dear friends,    From our family to yours, I hope you had a restful, restorative, and educational Thanksgiving, and to all who are celebrating this week, happy Chanukah. I wish you a bright, joyous, and healthy Festival of Lights.  Chanukah is about finding light in the darkness. As I reflect on the holiday in new ways and ever-changing circumstances, I hope my service as your State Senator has been akin to the shamash, the helper candle that kindles the other lights. I aim to serve you effectively, support our communities, and ignite a fire within others to get involved in community service and local activism. Nothing compares to the impact of multiple candles working together to light up a room.

Here are some legislative updates from the Senate floor: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) – The Massachusetts Senate passed a $3.82 billion bill on how to spend ARPA funding coming to our Commonwealth. This legislation will make equitable investments and ensure that communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, delivering broad spectrum supports to health care, mental and behavioral health, housing security, environment, and workforce development.   I secured numerous amendments to this bill that will support our district and the Commonwealth at large, including:  Explicitly requiring that the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund directly support women re-entering the workforce both through upskilling and addressing barriers to entry like transit and childcare Specific language providing for the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to manage tree health along the Commonwealth's parkways for human and environmental health and safety  $1,000,000 for post-traumatic stress care for medical personnel   $650,000 for water infrastructure projects in the towns of Millis, Norfolk, Plainville, Sherborn, Wayland, and Wrentham    $100,000 to renovate North Attleboro's Allen School to create a food pantry regional hub for the town and its neighboring communities $150,000 to support public transit and accessible, affordable senior housing in Franklin $200,000 for a feasibility and design study for a bicycle/pedestrian trail connecting Newton Upper Falls and Needham Heights.  The Senate plan must now be reconciled with the House version of the bill before heading to the Governor's desk.   Office Hours    Sign up for a 15-minute appointment here.     My team and I host virtual office hours every month.
