House does not concur with Senate amendment to joint rules; appoints conference committee
Summary
The House declined to concur with the Senate’s amendment to a proposed package of joint rules for the 2025–2026 legislative session and the presiding officer announced appointment of a conference committee; names of conferees were read into the record.
The House declined to concur with the Senate’s amendment to proposed joint rules for the 2025–2026 legislative session and the presiding officer appointed a conference committee to resolve differences, reading conferees into the record.
A senate order concerning proposed joint rules for the Senate and House for the 2025–2026 legislative session was read into the House record, with an endorsement that the Senate had not concurred with the House amendment and that the matter had been reported to a committee of conference. The transcript records the clerk reading that endorsement and the presiding officer announcing that the House did not concur after a voice vote: “All those in favor say aye… Although nay. The nays have it. House does not concur.”
The chair then appointed members to the conference committee. The names read into the record in the transcript are “Mister Michael Moran of Boston, mister Galvin of Canton, mister Moradian of Grafton” and a subsequent mention of “Mister Mariano Quincy” in the course of placing the order in the clerk’s hands. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote on the non-concurrence or a roll-call on the appointments, nor does it provide complete biographical details for the named conferees.
The House also adopted a standing order to adjourn to meet Monday next at 11 a.m., which was approved by voice vote.
