House passes supplemental appropriations bill from Senate for fiscal 2025

The Massachusetts House of Representatives gave final passage to Senate Bill 25-21, an act making supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2025, concluding consideration after readings, a constitutional separate vote and adoption of an emergency preamble.

The measure, described on the floor as Senate number 25-21, was read and advanced through second and third readings, presented for a separate constitutional vote, and — after the emergency preamble was adopted — passed to be enacted.

The House proceeded under voice votes at multiple steps: the bill was ordered to a third reading, engrossed, and then considered for final passage. Under the constitution the chamber took a separate division-style vote to decide the emergency preamble before the final enactment vote. The clerk announced the results that the emergency preamble was adopted and that the bill “is passed to be enacted.”

The action on the floor followed a suspension of rules to permit expedited consideration and readings of the bill. The House went into brief recesses during the process; after the final passage the chair and clerk completed routine business and announced the time and date the House would next convene.

No amendments or recorded roll-call tallies for the final passage beyond the separate constitutional divisions were included in the transcript record provided. The transcript shows standard floor procedure — second reading, third reading, engrossment, a constitutionally required separate vote on the emergency preamble, and final passage — but does not record detailed line-item changes or appropriation amounts in the excerpted text.
