House passes bill to establish sick leave bank for MassDOT employee

The House passed House Bill 4182, an act establishing a sick leave bank for Jato Charlatan, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation; the measure was released by the committee on bills and was passed to be engrossed on a voice vote during the session.

The bill was identified on the floor as House 4182 and noted as having its title changed by the committee on bills on third reading. The house floor record shows the committee on bills released the measure for third reading before the presiding officer put the question on passage.

There was no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript; the presiding officer put the question, the membership responded by voice and “the ayes have it,” and the clerk recorded that the bill was "passed to be engrossed." The transcript does not show floor debate on the substance of the bill, nor does it identify a mover or seconder for the passage motion.

The session also included routine orders: the clerk read an order that when the House adjourned it would next meet Wednesday at 11 a.m., and a member moved that the House stand adjourned. The House recessed and then adjourned as ordered.

Details recorded in the session note the bill by number and its procedural status; the transcript does not specify the text of the sick leave bank, how it would be funded, whether it applies more broadly to other employees, or any implementing timelines.
