House approves bill changing Holyoke on‑premises liquor licenses

The Massachusetts House voted during its session at the State House to pass House 360, "An act further regulating certain licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in the city of Holyoke." The chair put the question and, after a voice vote, said, "All those in favor say aye. All those opposed, nay. The ayes have it." The bill was passed to be enacted.

House 360 was presented for final passage during the session. The committee or member who brought the bill forward was not named in the verbatim transcript excerpts provided; the action recorded was the House’s voice vote and the Chair’s announcement that the bill "is passed to be enacted." No debate or amendment of the bill is captured in the provided transcript.

The passage means the bill moves from the House toward the executive process outlined in state legislative procedure; the transcript records a formal voice vote only and does not include any floor debate or explanation of the bill’s specific changes to licensing rules.

The House action occurred alongside numerous other procedural votes in the same session, including committee reports and scheduling of bills for third reading. The transcript does not record any formal objections to House 360 or tally counts for the voice vote.
