The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported recommending that House No. 972 be scheduled for consideration by the House. The bill was read a second time on the floor and, following successful motions to suspend Rule 7(a), the House ordered the bill to a third reading.

Why this matters: House approval of an authorization for MWRA to supply water to a local district affects the local water system\u0000s governance and service arrangements for Lynnfield Center residents; ordering a bill to a third reading is a procedural step toward final passage.

Details: the committee report was read on the floor recommending scheduling of House No. 972. A member moved suspension of Rule 7(a); after an initial procedural error the motion was repeated and the chair announced the ayes had it and that Rule 7(a) was suspended. The clerk then read the second reading of the bill and the House voted to order the bill to a third reading; the transcript records the tally as \"the ayes have it.\" The excerpt includes no floor debate on the bill\u0000s terms and does not specify amendments or conditions.

Next steps: with the bill ordered to a third reading, the House may consider final passage at a subsequent floor session. The transcript excerpt notes the House adjourned to meet Monday next at 11 a.m.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Informal House Session\t7/10/2025 ","oneSentenceSummary","The House advanced House No. 972, a bill authorizing the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to supply water to the Lynnfield Center Water District, and ordered it to a third reading after committee scheduling and a suspension of Rule 7(a).","taxTitle","2025 Legislature MA, Massachusetts","taxId",77682,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6174773,"House refers governor—s returns on FY2026 appropriations bill to committees",88,45985,134725,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5365291-ab6b04d186a7a1c564dcddbcad9cd9ac&start=45&end=134","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5365291-ab6b04d186a7a1c564dcddbcad9cd9ac/thumbnail_45985.jpg","/articles/6174773/Massachusetts/House-refers-governors-returns-on-FY2026-appropriations-bill-to-committees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174773-83e645de2d358c33f46a6493a2745507/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195673&Signature=H-WiAOp4POlOEOFOJLn-Gpgb4HZAh8yiHJcDORSEb8QYTzEwZYA6bZtddti3x0xbX7VOwH0Ceoak1o1gGtmAl8jDuU-lVMj4Y1LBYnfdUTbqwCu031bRPkUV6ArIBDunyK3Nws4Anwqz8I50GHhorCXhXvi6VDw-V~c0Qrups-klJCfgoxrzkSvq7eP-~H5QkcVrIr-BtfURMgDvc59cvx158oT-RBbu7UIktgA5EUuDlkbnxU7si071aXBTRsjhToCMKUyvRI9mN3Ik5HzlocKtO3JU586caDURssePEl9C3ZZ6aX0Rgay91NUhOmeyRmqJXz9RJzNDvGBAo89Cqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Massachusetts House of Representatives received a message from the governor returning the engrossed bill making appropriations for the fiscal year 2026 for maintenance of departments, boards, commissions, institutions, certain activities of the Commonwealth, interest, sinking fund and serial bond requirements, and permanent improvements, filed as House Numbers 4240 and 4250; the message noted disapprovals, reductions and recommended amendments.

The clerk reported that the message was filed in the Office of the Clerk on Friday, July 4, at 12:20 p.m. The House referred the portions containing disapprovals and reductions under Joint Rule 30 to the Committee on Ways and Means. Separately, following a successful motion, the House referred the sections returned with recommended amendments to the Committee on Bills in Third Reading.

Why this matters: the engrossed appropriations bill covers fiscal 2026 spending across state departments and certain permanent improvements; committee review of the governor\u0000s disapprovals, reductions and recommended amendments is the next step in reconciling the House\u0000s version of the budget and the governor\u0000s changes.

Details: the clerk read the message from the governor on the House floor and identified the associated House filing numbers. A member moved that the sections returned with recommended amendments be referred to the Committee on Bills in Third Reading; the motion carried, recorded on the floor as \"the ayes have it.\" The transcript records the referral of disapprovals and reductions to the Committee on Ways and Means under Joint Rule 30. The proceedings as recorded show these were procedural referrals; no floor debate on the substance of the disputed sections is recorded in the provided excerpt.

Next steps: staff for the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Bills in Third Reading will consider the governor\u0000s disapprovals, reductions and recommended amendments in committee.
