Senate orders Wellesley Housing Development Corporation dissolution bill to third reading

The Massachusetts Senate on a voice vote ordered a House bill authorizing the town of Wellesley to dissolve its housing development corporation to a third reading and later passed the bill to be engrossed. The clerk read the measure as: "An act authorizing the town of Wellesley to dissolve its housing development corporation, House No. 4139," and the chamber voted to order the bill to a third reading.

The chair then read the bill on third reading — "An act dissolving the Wellesley Housing Development Corporation, House No. 4139, its title having been changed by the committee on bills in the third reading" — and the Senate voted by voice to pass the bill to be engrossed. The transcript records no floor debate or roll-call tally on the item.

The actions on the floor were procedural steps moving the measure forward in the legislative process; no amendments or conditions were recorded in the provided transcript. The measure will next follow the standard engrossment, enrollment and final passage procedures of the chamber.
