House concurs with Senate petition on assault of transit workers; matter sent to Judiciary committee
Summary
The Massachusetts House concurred in a Senate petition seeking legislation on assault and battery by means of bodily substance upon transit workers and referred the matter under suspension of Joint Rule 12 to the Committee on the Judiciary by voice vote.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives concurred in a petition from the Senate seeking legislation addressing assault and battery by means of bodily substance upon a transit worker and referred the petition to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The action was taken after the clerk read “a petition of Nick Collins for legislation relative to assault and battery by means of bodily substance upon a transit worker,” which the house received with the Senate’s endorsement and moved under suspension of Joint Rule 12. The house then took a voice vote; “the ayes have it,” and the House concurred.
The referral places the petition with the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration; no sponsor debate or amendment was recorded during the House session.
