The Massachusetts Legislature convened for an informal house session on July 10, 2025, where several key agenda items were addressed. The session began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a message from Governor Maura Healey regarding her disapproval of certain items in the fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill. This message included recommendations for amendments to specific sections of the bill, which were subsequently referred to the Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration.

Following the governor's message, the Committee on Rules reported on a resolution congratulating Fire Chief Brian C. Hickey on his retirement from the Webster Fire Department. The resolution was adopted after a motion to suspend the rules was approved.

The session also included a report from the Committee on Steering Policy and Scheduling, which recommended that a bill authorizing the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to supply water to the Lynnfield Center Water District be scheduled for consideration. A motion to suspend Rule 7A was passed, allowing for the second reading of the bill. The House then ordered the bill to a third reading, indicating its progress through the legislative process.

As the session drew to a close, an order was adopted stating that the House would adjourn and reconvene the following Monday at 11 AM. The session concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was also approved by the members present. Overall, the meeting addressed significant legislative matters, including budgetary concerns and local infrastructure needs, while also honoring community service through the resolution for Chief Hickey.
