The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed House Bill 4182, an act establishing a sick leave bank for Jato Carlin, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The House first adopted the bill's emergency preamble and later voted to pass the bill to be enacted.
Under a separate constitutional vote required for emergency measures, the clerk announced division counts of first division 0, second division 3, third division 1 and fourth division 1; the clerk recorded five affirmative votes and no negative votes and stated, "The emergency preamble is adopted." The transcript does not record individual member names tied to the division tallies.
Later in the session the clerk put the question "on passing that bill to be enacted" and announced that "the bill is passed to be enacted" following a voice vote. The transcript does not provide the bill's text, effective date or implementation details beyond the description that the bill "establish[es] a sickly bank for Jato Cartolin, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation." Those specifics were not stated in the recorded remarks.
No mover or seconder for the final passage is named in the transcript. The record shows the constitutional emergency-preamble procedure was used and the House completed final passage during the session.
