Senate adopts amendment and passes sick leave bank bill for Jeffrey Yacinth to be engrossed
Summary
The Senate read a third time and adopted an amendment to a bill establishing a sick leave bank for Jeffrey Yacinth (an employee of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education); the amended bill passed to be engrossed.
Clerk: A third reading was held for 'An act establishing a sick leave bank for Jeffrey Yacinth' (Senate number spoken in the transcript). The senator from Essex, Mr. Paiano, moved to amend the bill by substituting a new draft that identifies Jeffrey Yacinth as an employee of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The Senate adopted the amendment by voice vote and then voted to pass the amended bill to be engrossed.
The transcript records voice votes only; no roll-call tallies or recorded named votes appear. The action moved the measure forward in the legislative process (passed to be engrossed) but the session record does not show final enactment or delivery to the governor for this bill within the provided segments.
Next steps implied by the session language are engrossment and later steps in the chamber’s process; the transcript shows no subsequent enactment or governor’s action for this bill during the recorded segment.
