House passes bill to be engrossed authorizing payment to Denise Matera

The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed to be engrossed a bill authorizing the city of Revere to pay a sum of money to Denise Matera, identified in the bill as the widow of school committee member Anthony Matera (House No. 2275). The transcript records a voice vote in which the chair asked, “All those in favor say aye,” and then stated, “The ayes have it. Bill is passed to be engrossed.”

The bill was presented for third reading after being released by the committee on bills on third reading. The transcript gives the bill’s subject and House number but does not specify the amount to be paid or record any floor debate on the measure’s merits. The motion and subsequent voice vote are procedural actions that advance the bill toward final engrossment; the transcript does not record a roll‑call vote or identify who moved or seconded the motion.

Because the recorded language is that the city is authorized to pay “a certain sum of money,” the article does not state an amount; the transcript does not provide one. Any details about payment amount or funding source would require the official engrossed bill or the committee report for confirmation.
