Summary

Representative Rob Consalvo petitioned to designate the tennis courts in Weider Park in Roslindale as the Kim O'Connell Tennis Courts; the petition was referred to the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources after the House suspended Joint Rule 12.

A petition from Representative Rob Consalvo asking that the Department of Conservation and Recreation be authorized to designate the tennis courts in Weider Park in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston as the "Kim O'Connell Tennis Courts" was read into the record and referred to the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources.

The request was one of several petitions considered after the House suspended Joint Rule 12 to permit floor consideration. The transcript records the petition’s title and the committee referral; it does not include additional background on Kim O'Connell, the Department of Conservation and Recreation's position, or any timetable for signage or authorization.

The committee referral places the petition within the regular process for naming state-managed facilities: the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources may schedule hearings, request agency input from the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and report recommendations back to the full House.
