Senate refers petition to name Sandwich overpass for US Marine Staff Sergeant Raymond G. Torvill to transportation committee
Summary
A House petition requesting that an overpass on State Route 6 in Sandwich be designated the US Marine Staff Sergeant Raymond G. Torvill Veterans Memorial Overpass was referred to the Senate Committee on Transportation after suspension of joint rule 12.
The Senate referred a House petition asking that an overpass on State Route 6 in the town of Sandwich be designated the US Marine Staff Sergeant Raymond G. Torvill Veterans Memorial Overpass to the Committee on Transportation. The clerk read that the petition came from the House; the question on suspending joint rule 12 was put and the chair announced the rule was suspended. The petition was then referred to the committee on transportation.
The clerk identified the petition as coming from "Stephen George Zeros." The transcript records only the referral and does not include committee discussion, sponsor remarks beyond the reading of the petition title, or any floor debate on the naming request.
Referral under a suspension of joint rule 12 moves the petition to committee consideration; the committee will determine next steps, including whether to hold hearings or report a bill to the full Senate.
