The committee also recommended scheduling petitions that would allow the towns of Maynard and Hudson to grant additional licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises. The committee report identified the Quincy bill as House No. 3897 and the Arlington bill as House No. 4135; the transcript lists the Maynard and Hudson license items as House numbers read in the record (transcript: \"House number 4273\" for one and \"House number 40 272\" for the other).

The committee report was made during the chamber's routine business and followed by procedural motions to suspend certain rules to place the bills on the calendar. The committee did not take final action to enact any of the local measures; scheduling places the bills on the House calendar for future consideration and does not itself change local law. The report as read by the committee included the following items: an act authorizing the city of Quincy to enter a lease extension to Quarry Hills Associates Limited Partnership (House No. 3897); an act amending the Town Manager Act of Arlington relative to the appointment and management of the town clerk (House No. 4135); an act authorizing the town of Maynard to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises (listed in the transcript as House No. 4273); and an act authorizing the town of Hudson to grant an additional license for the sale of wine and malt beverages not to be drunk on the premises (listed in the transcript as \"House number 40 272\").

Members moved to suspend applicable House rules to advance the bills to second reading and later to third reading where noted in the record; the chamber recorded the usual voice votes with the chair saying, \"the ayes have it.\" The scheduling vote does not include recorded individual roll-call votes in the transcript provided.

Background: Scheduling by the Committee on Steering Policy and Scheduling places local and special legislation on the House calendar so that members may debate and vote on final passage at subsequent sittings. The items listed concern local approvals and municipal governance: a municipal lease extension for Quincy, a change to Arlington's town manager statute governing the town clerk, and requests from two towns for additional retail alcohol licenses.

Next steps: Each bill will be placed on the House calendar for second reading and, if advanced, to a third reading on a future day. The transcript record shows the chamber later moved a group of bills to third reading as a block, but it does not show final enactment of the individual local measures in this excerpt.

Details recorded in the House transcript were read into the record; the bill numbers for the Maynard and Hudson items are presented as they were read and recorded in the transcript and may be confirmed against the official House docket for exact bill numbers and local-approval language.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Informal House Session 68\t7/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The House Committee on Steering Policy and Scheduling on Oct. 5 recommended scheduling multiple local bills for consideration, including a Quincy lease extension and an Arlington change to town clerk appointment and management.","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},6152506,"House passes Cheshire special-election bill to be engrossed",36,252000,288000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5497328-48f16c8fe7e07e7cce9f969a645cd989&start=252&end=288","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5497328-48f16c8fe7e07e7cce9f969a645cd989/thumbnail_252000.jpg","/articles/6152506/Massachusetts/House-passes-Cheshire-special-election-bill-to-be-engrossed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152506-98af4fe5d55c123f2144779034ccc0c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773725890&Signature=jCEub0FDf4jn2cAFwpDTfpWSzVG-Wwnlh52C5GXkczFPJv7vEyj8eWjgSH-EIfAWN-C84QuyzcVid~TsyDVsbrNwdiTGMssn1dl4TwVyKA3UEJuYFvHtBCDySVwyfZv~zEWyvxvnmJDGON69hEoNMxLjaHwu9Lhy5ZGz4OcCZ1K5hfyn3mhie8m7dP6PdekBTqzqoRnQn1flNj89KrexcZV4U7iuup0~-ZJU-gTUHVNtykyoa0ZgQ2GQYNvoEEGd8JdhhCd2S5~7qhn8lEpvHnGmMfPPlmR2LF7EzPIAs771J4o3fKvykNxzbAIEYZgaV77aUDnm~XeddZU0JI-fvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House took up and passed House Bill 801, an act relative to the town of Cheshire special election, and ordered the bill to be engrossed. The clerk read the bill title into the record and the chamber proceeded with the customary voice vote; the chair announced, \"the ayes have it,\" and the bill was ordered engrossed. The transcript records that House No. 801 had been released by the committee on bills in the third reading and that, following the third-reading procedure, the bill was passed and engrossed.

The action recorded in the transcript is a formal passage in the House and an instruction to the clerk to engross the bill (prepare the official enrolled text). The record does not show the bill being transmitted to the Senate or being signed by the governor in this excerpt; it also does not include a roll-call tally or any floor debate on the measure in the excerpt provided.

Background: Third reading and engrossment are standard steps in the legislative process. Engrossment prepares the bill for enrollment and potential further action. The transcript lists the bill as \"an act relative to the town of Cheshire special election\" and identifies it as House No. 801 as read into the record.

Next steps: After engrossment the bill would follow the normal post-passage process recorded in later House documents — such as enrollment, transmission to the Senate (if required), or enactment procedures — none of which are recorded in this excerpt.","The House advanced House Bill 801, an act relative to a Cheshire special election, and ordered the bill to be engrossed for further processing.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6152513,"House receives petition to establish sick-leave bank for Department of Corrections employee; referred to Public Service committee",31,84000,115000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5497328-48f16c8fe7e07e7cce9f969a645cd989&start=84&end=115","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5497328-48f16c8fe7e07e7cce9f969a645cd989/thumbnail_84000.jpg","/articles/6152513/Massachusetts/House-receives-petition-to-establish-sick-leave-bank-for-Department-of-Corrections-employee-referred-to-Public-Service-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152513-82367fed2cbd596bc7bd065d259acc2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773725890&Signature=S98qEG3Ho~q~hgTmRiQqumAJXYUwjWvHN2piuPwhwHzn4gCKHbzhe49y~8rXY33dg54VriL31mi-H1CzCGpXH~Fz9aqRHmCcLh35Z0beKWU80M7GM10l1s3Rt1miYDI0YQTl9Ot5ueAL5F0r3Mt58yQ7PI5zcGHplnbCAo-8y3GDoZGRf9h7sPNBGwouPJhBb6gagMBNlBNovN74ViGPhpeI4ABvTakyHuAnWg544b4yQfAsEs9dhkfpyhm-0PBAJBT21ZSFn83w1iWycaXz~3Z5qQkZgaRfP0krrCAhinSrG0abnCnVvt8MQRkGg5qb7lWtOTbD5AP~0a~XM2y4YQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House received a petition, transmitted from the Senate, asking legislation to establish a sick-leave bank for Carlos Borges, an employee of the Department of Corrections. The petition was presented in the chamber and, by agreement of members, was referred to the Committee on Public Service after the House suspended Joint Rule 12 to permit immediate referral.

The petition was described in the record as \"the petition of Kelly A. Dooner for legislation to establish a sick leave bank for Carlos Borges, an employee of the Department of Corrections\" and the clerk announced that it \"comes from the Senate with the endorsement that it has been referred under suspension of joint rule 12 to the Committee on Public Service.\" Mr. Godfrey of Arlington moved suspension of the rules to permit the referral; the chair called the voice votes customary for such motions and recorded, \"the ayes have it.\" The transcript records the procedural motions and the referral but does not include a roll-call tally or further debate on the substance of the petition in the excerpt provided.

Distinguishing discussion from decision: the transcript shows a formal referral (a direction to committee) following a procedural suspension of the joint rule; there is no committee report or final legislative action on the petition recorded in the excerpt. As read into the record, the petition requests special-legislative action to establish a sick-leave bank specifically for Carlos Borges. The petitioner's name was read into the record as Kelly A. Dooner; the petition identifies the employee beneficiary and the employing agency (Department of Corrections).

Next steps: The petition was referred to the House Committee on Public Service for committee consideration. Any subsequent action — such as committee hearings, amendments, or a vote — would be recorded in later committee or chamber minutes when available.

No statutory citations or legislative language for creation of the sick-leave bank were provided in the transcript; the referral places the petition within the committee process where staff and members may evaluate any proposed enabling text.","A petition from the Senate asking the House to establish a sick-leave bank for Carlos Borges, a Department of Corrections employee, was received and — after suspension of joint rule 12 — referred to the Committee on Public Service.","actionData","errors"]
