At its session, the Massachusetts Senate approved multiple House bills by voice vote, ordering several to be engrossed and enacting one measure addressing assault and battery on transit workers. The body also suspended rules to consider certain matters and referred a bill on the rights of people experiencing homelessness to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Several bills were read for third consideration and sent forward for engrossment. House No. 2335, described as "an act extending residency requirements for members of the regular police and fire departments and fire alarm and wires division of the city of Newton," was read and "passed to be engrossed," according to the presiding officer. House No. 4154, authorizing certain investments for the Town of Richmond Free Public Library, and House No. 4168, authorizing the Town of Acton to increase residency limits for members of its police and fire departments, were each read for the third time and similarly ordered to be engrossed. House No. 4624, establishing a sick leave bank for Jean McCarron, an employee of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, was read and ordered to be engrossed as well.

The Senate received a paper from the House concerning vacancies in Milford (House No. 4171); after suspending the rules to allow consideration, the Senate ordered that bill to a third reading. A separate House bill "of Lindsey and Zabadosa" concerning the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness was received and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration.

On a related matter, the Senate considered House No. 4645, an amended bill "relative to assault and battery upon a transit worker." The Senate concurred in the House amendment and, on final passage by voice vote, ordered the bill "to be enacted." The presiding officer stated the bill "will be signed by the president and laid before the governor for her approbation." No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; the actions were announced by voice and by the presiding officer's statements.

Procedural motions to suspend rules (including suspending Joint Rule 12 and Rule 36 to allow immediate consideration of several matters) were granted without objection, allowing the Senate to act on the received House papers. The Senate adopted an order that it reconvene on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. and then adjourned.
