Committee reports bill on disposition of Upton property; Senate suspends rules to send bill to third reading
Summary
The Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight reported a bill providing for disposition of certain property in the town of Upton "ought to pass," and the Senate later suspended rules to order the bill to a third reading. The actions were recorded by committee report and voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the transcript.
The Senate received a committee report recommending that a bill regarding the disposition of certain property in the town of Upton "ought to pass," and later the chamber suspended rules to advance a bill to third reading.
The Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight reported on petitions and accompanying bills, including a bill described as "provid[ing] for the disposition of certain property in the town of Upton," and the committee indicated the bill "ought to pass." The clerk conveyed the report; the transcript records the committee report language but does not show a floor amendment or roll-call vote attached to the report.
Later in the session, a senator sought unanimous consent to suspend the rules to consider a matter forthwith. The presiding senator asked, "Is there an objection?" and, after none was raised, "the rules are suspended." The presiding senator then put the question on ordering the bill to a third reading; following a voice vote the presiding senator said, "The ayes have it, and the bill is over to a third reading." The transcript records voice votes and suspension of rules but no roll-call tallies or amendments.
The committee report and the suspension of rules moved the bill forward in the Senate process; the transcript does not record final passage or further action beyond ordering the bill to third reading.
