Senate advances and passes act titled 'An Act relative to the town of Cheshire's special election' (House No. 801)
Summary
During the session the Massachusetts Senate held the bill to third reading and passed "An act relative to the town of Cheshire's special election," House No. 801, by voice vote; the measure will move forward following a brief recess.
The Massachusetts Senate held "An act relative to the town of Cheshire's special election, House Number 801" to a third reading and passed the measure by voice vote during the Senate session. The clerk read the short title, "An act relative to the town of Cheshire's special election, House Number 801," and the presiding officer put the question to the chamber. After the presiding officer called for those in favor and those opposed, "the ayes have it," and the bill was advanced.
The nut graph: The measure was advanced through a third-reading vote in the Senate; the transcript records only the short title and a voice vote, without substantive text of the bill or roll-call tallies provided in the session record.
Details: The clerk read the bill title aloud on the Senate floor. The presiding officer announced the voice vote result, and the transcript indicates the bill "passed" and "will be sent" after a brief recess. No roll-call vote or vote totals were recorded in the transcript. The session record does not include the bill text, amendments, or debate on the substance of House No. 801.
Ending: Because the transcript includes only the title, the voice vote and the procedural advancement, further details about the bill's provisions, effective date, or next steps were not specified in the session record and would need to be confirmed from the printed bill or Senate clerk's office.
