House passes bill to dissolve housing development corporation

The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed House 4139, an act dissolving the housing development corporation, during an ordinary session where members ordered the bill to be enacted. The vote was taken by voice; the presiding officer announced, “All those in favor say aye. Opposed, no. The ayes have it,” and reported that the bill had been passed to be enacted. The bill had been presented as an engrossed bill described as “being rightly and truly prepared for final passage.” The passage was announced without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript. The action occurred amid routine floor business that included adoption of resolutions and other bills. No further details about the corporation’s assets, liabilities, successor arrangements, or implementation steps were stated in the recorded remarks.
