House extends committee reporting deadlines for multiple bills, suspending rules for immediate action
The House adopted a series of orders extending the time authorized for several committees to report on pending House documents. The orders — each reported by the committee on rules — extended reporting deadlines for multiple committee referrals and were adopted after motions to suspend the rules.

Specifically, an order filed by Representatives McMurtry of Dedham and Vitollo of Brookline extended the time for the committee on labor and workforce development to report on matters related to House No. 4472 until Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025. A separate order filed by Representatives Decker of Cambridge and Karens of Danvers extended the reporting time for the committee on public health until Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025 for House No. 4480. The committee on state administration and regulatory oversight received an extension — filed by Representatives Cabral of New Bedford and Tyler of Boston — also to Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025 (House document referenced in transcript). Another order, filed by Representatives Cusack of Braintree and Kishmarek of Fitchburg, extended the committee on telecommunications, utilities and energy’s reporting deadline to Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025 for House No. 4481.

Each order was presented by the committee on rules and taken up after a member moved to suspend the rules to allow immediate consideration; in every case the motion to suspend the rules carried on a voice vote and the order was adopted. The transcript does not record extended floor debate or any amendments to the orders. The actions are procedural extensions of committee deadlines and do not adopt or defeat the underlying bills.

The transcript records the specific target dates and house document numbers for the extensions but does not include the committee floor reports that explain the reasons for each extension.
