Senate adopts amendment and passes bill to be engrossed on Gloucester Fisheries Commission
Summary
The Massachusetts Senate adopted an amendment substituting a new draft, then passed the bill as amended to be engrossed that would further regulate the Gloucester Fisheries Commission; actions were taken by voice vote with no roll-call recorded.
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Senate on July 1 adopted an amendment and passed to be engrossed a bill that would further regulate the Gloucester Fisheries Commission.
Senator Tarr moved to amend by substituting a new draft titled "An Act further regulating the Gloucester Fisheries Commission, Senate No. 2566." The amendment was adopted by voice vote, and the Senate then voted to pass the bill as amended to be engrossed, also by voice vote, with no roll-call recorded.
The action replaces the earlier draft identified as Senate No. 2507 with the substituted draft Senate No. 2566. The clerk read the amendment language into the record before the chair put the question to the Senate. The transcript shows the chair announcing that "the ayes have it" after the voice votes.
No floor debate, recorded roll-call, or objections are shown in the transcript for this item; the Senate proceeded by unanimous voice votes as recorded. The transcript does not contain the substituted bill text or details of how the regulation of the Gloucester Fisheries Commission would change.
The matter now moves through the engrossment process in the Senate; further committee reports, printed bill text, or subsequent readings would provide the specific regulatory changes and any implementation details.
The clerk's reading and the voice votes were the only actions on the record during the session for this item.
