On the floor the clerk and presiding officer presented House No. 4530, an act making supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2025, and the House took the constitutionally required separate votes on the emergency preamble. The transcript shows division counts recorded in the chamber for the emergency preamble vote, with the clerk announcing that two members had been voted in the affirmative and none in the negative; the transcript records that the emergency preamble was adopted.

Following that action the House proceeded to final passage on related bills. The House advanced House No. 4530 (fiscal 2025 supplemental appropriation) and House No. 4531 (an act establishing the 2026 state primary election day) to be engrossed. The clerk read other measures scheduled for final passage, including House No. 3298 (designating July 2 as Machado Joseph Disease Awareness Day), which the House passed to be enacted. For some bills on third reading the transcript also records committee release and routine voice votes to pass the bills to be engrossed.

Why it matters: passage and adoption of emergency preambles clear the way for measures to take effect immediately upon enactment in specified circumstances and advance fiscal and scheduling measures to enrollment and enactment.

Details and procedure: the transcript shows the clerk reading titles, the presiding officer putting the question on adoption of emergency preambles and on final passage, and voice votes recorded as \"the ayes have it.\" For the emergency preamble vote associated with the fiscal supplemental the transcript records division counts that yielded two affirmative votes and zero negative votes for the preamble; the clerk announced adoption. The transcript does not include subsequent enactment dates, implementation plans or detailed budget line items for the supplemental appropriation.

Next steps: the bills advanced to enrollment/engrossment for final enrollment and enactment; the transcript does not record further steps such as gubernatorial action or implementation details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Informal House Session 85\t9/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On final passage, the House adopted emergency preambles and passed bills including a fiscal 2025 supplemental appropriation (House No. 4530), a bill establishing the 2026 state primary election day (House No. 4531), and a day-designation bill for Machado Joseph Disease Awareness (House No. 3298).","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},5979850,"House refers several Senate petitions to appropriate House committees",53,227000,280000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5808746-00e7205c47a072972d76fe7956a780bd&start=227&end=280","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5808746-00e7205c47a072972d76fe7956a780bd/thumbnail_227000.jpg","/articles/5979850/Massachusetts/House-refers-several-Senate-petitions-to-appropriate-House-committees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979850-b69c33df99fc9005822707339a11604a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835878&Signature=ZP7v~HCaJYvWkwlAuCBgT~wdn2961N8IX0mLwDa~ZSDPrUOmgge0majsQMI6O0TDoEW-SkkUIOdmR~kjPTTy9C0B5-XPm6EdFVzDOMEyoKyCDw9b7CRkCeI0Ewr-qr13AQWeVtq3WCdU2m~hy3fUm4UtUjqi9wzNp-7AIwDomJhAWBt6v5~sRpvd8a7IhEzjQKP3OhjyDdyLCR8GpUgznLJGj0JK1t0~gzPWETLqWxaqfoMQUaORlnlL~DZ2lQiqS9AeFmZWi7NS6Qg4ww4kXDj~MP6JsHGWbAVZ425ZK3RBgjKjp-32gtAR22Et4OfNmhZzraZ0wFcyhar4P9GRzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Massachusetts House accepted multiple petitions from the Senate and referred each to the House committee identified in the petitions.

The clerk read petitions submitted by the Senate and bearing endorsement for referral: a petition from Joan M. Comerford regarding reform of charter school funding in Massachusetts referred to the House Committee on Education; a petition from Joan B. Lovely to allow the retirement board of Salem to retire Kathleen Rocheville, a Salem police officer, referred to the Committee on Public Service; a petition from Joan M. Comerford seeking utility shutoff protections during periods of extreme heat referred to the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy; and a petition from Joan M. Comerford regarding public education on seatbelt use in vehicles carrying many passengers referred to the Committee on Transportation.

Representative Owens of Watertown moved concurrence with the referrals and the House voted in the affirmative. The presiding officer then put the question on suspending Joint Rule 12 to consider the petitions on the floor; the House voice-voted to suspend the joint rule and the clerk recorded that joint rule 12 was suspended.

Why it matters: the petitions move Senate-filed matters into the House committee process, where the named committees can schedule hearings and consider legislation. The transcript identifies the petitioning senators by name and the exact committee assignments on the record.

Details and next steps: the transcript does not record any debate on the petitions themselves nor any roll-call tallies for the concurrence or the suspension of joint rule 12; it records voice votes and the clerk’s announcement that “the ayes have it.” Each petition is now before the committee named in the clerk’s reading for further action.","The House received petitions from the Senate on charter school funding, a retirement request for a Salem police officer, utility shutoff protections, and a public seatbelt education proposal, and referred them to relevant House committees after suspending Joint Rule 12.",{"_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},5979853,"House approves multiple extensions for committee reporting deadlines",147,59000,206000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5808746-00e7205c47a072972d76fe7956a780bd&start=59&end=206","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5808746-00e7205c47a072972d76fe7956a780bd/thumbnail_59000.jpg","/articles/5979853/Massachusetts/House-approves-multiple-extensions-for-committee-reporting-deadlines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979853-44e402a45ae0b866f28d8d1d5c9600d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835878&Signature=NyaVyk5U~TF~msIeACdP-3ZEjU4ygYiDm7jx1wKSEcvCuGDuB3EjoOX~LbQRtvXskQ0XqwiSspQTbbZNcLdIXWHuqW2ouWQT1CCJWJ69fiqZNhDjuUD3bLcVyBlByKOeBtws9gdR5E~vKEghUV77GDn1EsDwq42c~OR7ZPRnj7N9wno8JAn8WH0IulqYmQzrXbpBpmFXlmdc7wEL3cnFWe0IeP7XFFKTUhBoHIjyAhqIokwkUy6whlg8iK3Zs8~VCSgur6-eWPN1HKFy~gqq~U9xMjgtuXAkI4A8yYCYsxRu0TjGifJdVeZDmS9mOkmZl07DlYe1WlPAVqQ0owYXeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Massachusetts House on the floor adopted a series of orders extending the time for several committees to report on pending House documents.

Clerk read orders filed by members asking that the committee on aging and independence, the committee on consumer protection and professional licensure, the committee on housing and the committee on transportation be given additional time to report on specified House files. The orders listed House numbers tied to each request and new reporting deadlines: House No. 4535 (committee on aging and independence) extended to Dec. 3, 2025; House No. 4540 (consumer protection and professional licensure) extended to March 18, 2026; House No. 4541 (housing) extended to Oct. 31, 2025; and House No. 4527 (transportation) extended to March 18, 2026.

Representative Owens of Watertown moved to suspend the rules for each order and the House voted “aye” for the suspensions. After suspension, the House voted to adopt each order. For each of the motions recorded on the transcript the clerk announced that “the ayes have it.”

Why it matters: extending reporting deadlines gives the named committees additional time to review testimony, amend draft language and file formal reports for the House to consider. The orders in the transcript identify exact committee names, House file numbers and the new dates to which reporting authority was extended.

Details and procedure: the transcript shows the clerk reading each order into the record, naming the filing members who requested the extensions (for example, an order filed by Representative Stanley of Waltham for House No. 4535) and the committee to receive the extended reporting authority. Each extension was acted on in the same sequence: clerk reading, Representative Owens moving suspension of the rules, an affirmative voice vote on suspension and then adoption of the order. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or any substantive debate about the merits of the requested extensions.

Next steps: the committees named in the orders now have the extended periods stated on the record to file their reports; the transcript does not specify subsequent dates for hearings or further scheduling for the underlying bills.","The Massachusetts House adopted orders extending deadlines for several committee reports, moving back filing dates for bills before the committees on aging and independence, consumer protection and professional licensure, housing, and transportation.","actionData","errors"]
