House schedules bills for consideration, including Quincy revenue bonds and student privacy bill
Summary
The steering policy and scheduling committee listed several items for the House calendar — including a Quincy revenue bond bill and a student-information protection bill — and the chamber ordered the listed bills to a third reading after suspending Rule 7A.
The committee on steering policy and scheduling reported a slate of measures to be scheduled for House consideration and the chamber moved several of them forward to third reading.
Unidentified Speaker 2 read the committee report listing matters to be scheduled, including Senate Bill 2625 (issuing revenue bonds for construction and reconstruction of telecommunications facilities by the City of Quincy), House Bill 3130 (promoting urban agriculture and horticulture), House Bill 3917 (updating tax treatment of recreational lands in Swampscott), House Bill 4580 (relative to the select board of Berlin), and House Bill 4653 (protecting public higher education student information). Several items were noted as having "local approval received."
Mister Owens of Watertown moved to suspend Rule 7A to permit expedited consideration; the motion passed by voice vote. The House then proceeded to second reading of the listed bills and, on a question, ordered those bills to a third reading, advancing them along the legislative calendar. No roll-call tallies or amendments were recorded in the transcript of these scheduling actions.
These scheduling and procedural steps do not change bill text but set the measures for further debate and potential final action at a later reading.
