The Senate ordered House Bill 360 from Holyoke to a third reading.

Why it matters: Ordering a bill to third reading advances it in the legislative process, moving it closer to a final vote.

The presiding officer asked for the question on ordering the bill to a third reading. After the voice vote the presiding officer said, “The ayes have it. The bill is ordered to a third reading.” The transcript excerpt records only the procedural motion and the order for third reading; no debate on the bill's substance appears in the excerpt.

End note: The excerpt does not show additional action on House No. 360 beyond the order to third reading.
