The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported a series of bills to be scheduled, including House bill 2517, \"An act to update posterior screenings in schools,\" and House bill 2652, \"An act relative to motor vehicle battery storage.\" Other bills listed for consideration included House bill 4275 (alcohol license permits and suspensions), House bill 4277 (maximum allowable check‑cashing rate), House bill 4285 (modernizing Massachusetts alcohol permitting laws), House bill 4286 (authorizing the town of Somerset to grant an additional license for sale of wine and malt beverages off premises, local approval received), and House bill 4287 (authorizing West Springfield to grant four additional all‑alcohol licenses off premises, local approval received). The House suspended rule 7A to proceed and ordered the listed bills to a third reading by voice vote.

On final passage motions, the House passed House bill 4245, \"An act increasing the membership of the select board in the town of Mattapoisett,\" to be enacted by voice vote. The House then proceeded to third readings of bills released by the Committee on Bills in Third Reading. Among those, House bill 360, \"An act relative to certain licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in the city of Holyoke,\" was passed to be engrossed by voice vote.

House bill 2251, \"An act establishing a special fund for the festival of hills receipts for the town of Conway,\" and House bill 4264, \"An act establishing a charter for the city of Somerville,\" were taken up in third reading. During consideration of the Somerville charter bill, Representative Walsh of Peabody offered an amendment by substitution of a bill with the same title; the House adopted the amendment by voice vote and then passed the substituted bill to be engrossed.

The record shows standard procedural voice votes throughout (\"all those in favor say aye; opposed no; the ayes have it\"). The House also adopted committee orders extending reporting deadlines: the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies was authorized an extension to report current House documents until Dec. 1, 2025, and the Committee on Transportation was authorized an extension to report until Mar. 18, 2026, as reported by the Committee on Rules. Both extensions were adopted after suspension of the rules by voice vote.

No roll‑call votes, budget allocations, or new programs were recorded for these items during the session; actions taken were procedural steps to advance bills to later stages in the legislative process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Informal House Session 76\t8/21/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Massachusetts House ordered multiple bills to third reading, passed several bills to be engrossed, and adopted an amendment by substitution to a Somerville charter bill during a routine session in which the House also extended committee reporting deadlines.","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},6135919,"Mass.

The committee on rules reported that it recommended adoption of several resolutions filed by members of the House, including a resolution filed by Representative Spencer commending the Association for Frontal Temporal Degeneration for recognizing the week of 09/22/2025 as Frontal Temporal Degeneration Awareness Week; a resolution filed by Representative Roy of Franklin congratulating an Eagle Scout; and a resolution filed by Representative Soter of Bellingham congratulating town administrator Dennis Frane on his retirement. The House suspended the rules by voice vote on a motion by Representative Adam J. Scanlon of North Attleboro and then adopted the listed resolutions by voice vote; the clerk recorded the outcome as \"the ayes have it.\"

After adoption, the presiding officer introduced guests in the well of the House associated with a resolution congratulating the Rolling Warriors of North Attleboro. The presiding officer said the team won “the first ever gold medal for a United States team” at the North American vault hockey championship in Toronto, Canada in May and congratulated the team members and organizers, naming team members and local partners. The House also noted the team’s upcoming participation in an international tournament in Sweden in September and offered its best wishes.

Named team members and contributors listed in the House record include Mia Bean, Christian Caruso, Ellery Kinane, Lara Liedka, Vivian Liedka, and Maddie Manning; Helena Lietka (identified in the record as cofounder and president of Space to Thrive); Helga Lietka (identified in the record as coach of the Rolling Warriors and cofounder and vice president of Space to Thrive); Craig Kinane (co‑coach); Paul Caruso; Kim D'Amato; and representatives of the Hurley branch of the Hakamak Area YMCA.

The action was ceremonial: no policy changes, funding decisions, or substantive committee debate were recorded in the House minutes for these resolutions. The record shows standard procedural votes to suspend rules and adopt the resolutions, all by voice vote.

The House also adopted other individual commendations referenced in the committee report, including the Eagle Scout recognition and a retirement commendation for Dennis Frane, town administrator of Bellingham. The committee report and subsequent voice votes indicate these items were adopted as part of the same bundle of resolutions.

The House moved on to other business after the ceremonial recognitions.","The Massachusetts House of Representatives adopted several ceremonial resolutions, including a commendation for the Rolling Warriors vault hockey team of North Attleboro and a resolution recognizing Sept. 22, 2025, as Frontal Temporal Degeneration Awareness Week.","actionData","errors"]
