Judiciary committee reports health‑care protection bill ought to pass; Senate refers measure to Ways and Means
Summary
The Senate received a committee report from the Judiciary Committee that a bill (Senate No. 2522) related to health‑care protection ought to pass; the matter was then referred to the Committee on Ways and Means without objection.
The Massachusetts Senate recorded a report from the Committee on the Judiciary recommending that accompanying legislation identified as Senate No. 2522 ‘ought to pass.’ The report referenced petitioners Cindy F. Freeman, Andrea Joy Campbell, Joanna Comfort and others and described the bill as relating to health‑care protection in the Commonwealth.
Following the committee report, Senator Ramos moved to suspend the rules so the matter could be considered forthwith and to refer the bill to the Committee on Ways and Means. The motion was made and, without objection, the matter was referred to Ways and Means as recorded on the Senate floor.
The transcript does not include the bill text or the committee report’s findings beyond the floor announcement that the bill “ought to pass.” No committee votes, fiscal notes, or further debate on the bill’s substance appear in the excerpt. Referral to Ways and Means begins the fiscal‑review stage of the legislative process and would typically precede any floor action dependent on budgetary implications or committee recommendation.
