Senate adopts Crichton substitute and passes Lynn charter bill to be engrossed
Summary
During third reading of House No. 4149, the Senate adopted an amendment offered by Sen. Crichton substituting the text of Senate Document No. 2693 and then passed the bill, as amended, to be engrossed for further processing.
The Massachusetts Senate, on third reading of House No. 4149, adopted an amendment offered by Senator Crichton that struck everything after the enacting clause and substituted the text of Senate Document No. 2693. The amendment was adopted after the question was put, and the Senate then passed the bill, as amended, to be engrossed.
Clerk’s entries in the transcript show the amendment motion was made by “Mister Crichton,” the clerk read the substitution, and the Senate agreed to the amendment with the clerk announcing “the ayes have it.” After adoption of the amendment, the clerk again reported that the bill, as amended, was passed to be engrossed.
The transcript also records that the bill had been changed by the committee on Bills in the Third Reading prior to consideration on the floor. No roll‑call vote totals or recorded individual member votes appear in the transcript for the amendment or the passage question; the clerk’s statements indicate the affirmative prevailed on both questions.
