House designates June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day
Summary
The Massachusetts House passed Senate bill No. 2152 to designate June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day after suspending rules to consider the measure and voting to pass it to be engrossed and enacted.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed Senate bill No. 2152, designating June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day.
The committee on steering policy and scheduling recommended the matter be scheduled for consideration by the House. Mr. Murphy of Weymouth moved to suspend the rules so the House could take up the Senate bill; the motion passed and the bill was placed on second reading. The House voted to order the bill to a third reading and then passed it to be engrossed.
Under the constitution, the bill’s emergency preamble required a separate count. Monitors reported division counts that produced three votes in the affirmative and none in the negative; the emergency preamble was adopted. The bill was then passed to be enacted.
The transcript records these actions as procedural floor activity; no amendments or substantive debate on the bill’s provisions were recorded.
