House refers Senate petition on assault against transit workers to Judiciary Committee
Summary
A petition from the Senate calling for legislation on assault and battery by means of bodily substance upon a transit worker was received and referred under suspension of Joint Rule 12 to the Committee on the Judiciary.
A petition from the Senate regarding legislation relative to assault and battery by means of bodily substance upon a transit worker was received by the Massachusetts House and referred, under suspension of Joint Rule 12, to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The clerk reported the petition as a “paper from the Senate,” noting it had been endorsed and was referred under the suspension of Joint Rule 12 to the judiciary committee. The referral was approved by voice vote on the House floor: “All those in favor say aye. Opposed, no. The ayes have it. The House concurs.”
The referral transfers consideration of the Senate-originated petition to the Committee on the Judiciary; the transcript records no floor debate on the substance of the proposed legislation.
