Senate advances two House bills to create sick-leave banks for MassDOT employees
Summary
The Massachusetts Senate suspended its rules and ordered two House bills that would establish sick leave banks for named Massachusetts Department of Transportation employees to a third reading.
The Massachusetts Senate on Wednesday suspended its rules and ordered two House bills establishing sick leave banks for employees of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to a third reading.
The measures would create a sick leave bank for Daniel Yender and a separate sick leave bank tied to Mark Grama. Senator Durand moved to suspend the rules so the first matter could be considered forthwith; the rules were suspended and the bill concerning Daniel Yender was ordered to a third reading. A later House bill for Mark Grama (House No. 4161) was likewise advanced after the rules were suspended.
The actions were procedural: senators voted to suspend the chamber’s rules to allow immediate consideration and then ordered the bills to third readings. The transcript records the motions to suspend the rules and that the bills were ordered to third reading; no floor debate about the bills’ substance was recorded in the provided excerpt.
The bills now await consideration at third reading, where a final vote could be taken or further amendment proposed.
