Senate notes two reports, adopts resolutions honoring Joseph G. Finn and sets next meeting for Thursday at 11 a.m.
Summary
The Senate placed on file two agency reports — one from the Essex County District Attorney and one from the Massachusetts Sheriffs' Association — adopted resolutions recognizing Joseph G. Finn's work on homelessness, and approved an order to adjourn and reconvene Thursday at 11:00 a.m.
The Senate on an otherwise routine day placed two reports on file, adopted resolutions honoring Joseph G. Finn for his work to end homelessness in the Commonwealth, and approved an order to adjourn and reconvene Thursday at 11:00 a.m.
A report from the Essex County District Attorney was submitted pursuant to “section 70C of chapter 277 of the General Laws” and included decriminalization statistics through Jan. 31, 2025. The Massachusetts Sheriffs' Association submitted an operational capacity report under “section 6A of chapter 24 of the General Laws,” covering July 31 to Dec. 31, 2024. The clerk noted both filings and the reports were placed on file.
The clerk read resolutions introduced by the senator from Bristol and Norfolk, Mr. Feeney, congratulating Joseph G. Finn for “decades of work to end homelessness in the Commonwealth.” The question on adoption of the resolutions was put and the chair announced, “The ayes have it,” approving the resolutions by voice vote.
The Senate also adopted an order, read by the senator from Essex and Middlesex, Mr. Tarr, that when the Senate adjourns it will reconvene Thursday next at 11:00 a.m. The chair put the question on the order, and it was adopted by voice vote; the chair again said, “The ayes have it,” and the Senate stood adjourned.
No formal roll-call vote tallies or recorded yes/no counts were provided in the transcript; actions recorded in the session were taken by voice vote as noted above.
