House passes bill on Berkeley treasury collector to be engrossed
Summary
The House passed House Bill 2320, an act relative to the position of treasury collector in the town of Berkeley, to be engrossed after a voice vote.
The Massachusetts House passed House Bill 2320, an act relative to the position of treasury collector in the town of Berkeley, and ordered the measure to be engrossed.
Why it matters: Passing a bill to be engrossed is a procedural step toward final enactment; engrossment produces the official copy of the bill as passed.
As read on the floor, the Clerk announced that House 2320 had been released by the committee on bills on third reading. The question was on passing the bill to be engrossed; by voice vote the ayes prevailed and the Clerk announced, "The bill is passed to be engrossed." The transcript contains no roll-call tally or recorded objections.
The action was a floor passage to engrossment; subsequent steps (enrollment, concurrence by the Senate if required, or presentation to the governor) were not recorded in this session.
