House adopts committee-extension orders and schedules multiple bills for consideration
Summary
The House adopted orders extending committee reporting deadlines for housing and environment committees and the Steering, Policy and Scheduling Committee placed several bills on the calendar for later consideration and ordered a set of bills to third reading.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives adopted two committee-extension orders and the Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported a slate of bills to be scheduled for future consideration. The committee on rules reported that the committee on housing was authorized an extension until Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025, to report on current House documents (order filed by Representatives Haggerty of Woburn and Ramos of North Andover); the House adopted that order. The committee on rules also reported that the committee on environment and natural resources was authorized an extension until Dec. 31, 2025, to report on current House documents (order filed by Representatives Barber of Somerville and Cataldo of Concord); the House adopted that order. The chamber then received a report from the Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling recommending scheduling of multiple bills, including Senate No. 2566 (further regulating the Gloucester Fisheries Commission), House No. 838 (authorizing a special election in the City of Methuen to fill a mayoral vacancy), House No. 1877 (relative to assault and battery upon a transit worker), House No. 2864 (authorizing certain retirement benefits for Levar Gilbert), House No. 3388 (designating Veterans Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day), and several others. The House ordered those bills to a third reading after suspending rule 7A. The transcript records the committee reports and the chamber’s voice votes to adopt the orders and to move the listed bills to third reading; it does not contain debate on the substantive merits of the listed bills.
