House schedules a slate of local licensing, retail and regulatory bills for consideration
Summary
The House’s Steering Policy and Scheduling Committee recommended multiple bills for consideration and the chamber ordered several measures to third reading or to be engrossed, including local liquor license changes and bills on retail surveillance pricing and appraisal record retention.
The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported a slate of bills to be scheduled for House consideration, and the chamber ordered several measures to third reading or to be engrossed.
The committee’s list included bills on surveillance pricing in grocery stores (House 99), updating real‑estate appraisal record retention requirements (House 405), eliminating a residency requirement for fortune tellers (House 475), allowing pub breweries to sell malt beverages they produce (House 478), and tax rules on death of active‑duty personnel and elderly taxpayers (House 3051). The committee also reported local measures allowing additional all‑alcohol or wine‑and‑malt licenses for towns including Palmer (House 4282) and Lexington (House 3893), and other town charter and local licensing items.
On the floor, the presiding officer called the question and the chamber recorded that various bills were ordered to be read a third time or passed “to be engrossed.” The transcript records mostly voice votes in which “the ayes have it,” and notes where local approval was received for a town licensing bill. The record contains no extended debate on the substance of these measures during the session.
