House passes bill to be engrossed on treasurer-collector position in Berkley
Summary
The Massachusetts House voted to pass to be engrossed House No. 2320, an act relative to the position of treasurer-collector in the town of Berkley, by voice vote.
The Massachusetts House passed to be engrossed House No. 2320, an act relative to the position of treasurer-collector in the town of Berkley.
The clerk announced that House 2320 had been released by the committee on bills on third reading. The bill, described in the transcript as "an act relative to the position of treasury collector in the town of Berkeley," was put to passage and carried by voice vote after the presiding officer called for "All those in favor, say aye." The presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it. The bill is passed to be engrossed."
Why it matters: Passage to be engrossed is the House's formal step toward final engrossment and subsequent steps in the legislative process for a bill affecting a municipal office in Berkley.
Details: The transcript records a voice vote; no roll-call or recorded individual votes are provided. The bill is identified in the transcript as House No. 2320. The transcript spelling uses "Berkeley," but the Massachusetts town name is commonly spelled "Berkley"; this article uses the official local spelling where verifiable.
Ending: The bill was passed to be engrossed on voice vote; the excerpt does not include later engrossment steps or action by the Senate or governor.
