House passes Cheshire special-election bill to be engrossed
Summary
The House moved House Bill 801, an act relative to the town of Cheshire special election, to engrossment after a third-reading voice vote approving the bill.
House Bill 801, “an act relative to the town of Cheshire special election,” was reported released by the committee on bills on third reading and taken up on the floor. The clerk announced the third reading of the bill, and the House passed the bill to be engrossed after a voice vote in which the ayes carried.
Why it matters: advancing a bill to engrossment is a formal legislative step toward final enactment; engrossment produces the official text incorporating any floor changes. The transcript records only the procedural progression — release by the committee on bills, third reading, and a voice vote to pass the bill to be engrossed — and does not include the bill’s substantive provisions or any recorded debate.
The action occurred while the House was proceeding with the orders of the day; the clerk read an adjournment order setting the next informal session for Monday at 11:00 a.m.
