Senate votes to recess joint session until Oct. 9, 2025
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Senate adopted an order to recess the joint session of the two houses until Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025, at 11:30 a.m.

The senator from Middlesex and Norfolk, Missus Spilcock, presented the order to change the previously adopted recess date. The senator from Western Hamilton, Mr. Patton, moved that the rules be suspended so the matter could be considered forthwith; the chair heard no objection and the Senate voted in favor. The chair announced, "The ayes have it," and the order was adopted.

The order was recorded for transmission to the House for concurrence. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; floor votes were announced as voice votes.

The action is procedural: it changes the agreed recess date for the joint session and does not itself adopt any policy or statutory change. The Senate moved on to other business after the vote.
