Senate enacts House bill allowing Hingham to use municipal property for active-living center
Summary
The Massachusetts Senate enacted House No. 4314, permitting the Town of Hingham to use municipal property for a center for active living; the measure required and received a roll-call two-thirds vote on the floor.
The Senate took up and enacted House No. 4314, a local land-taker measure that allows the Town of Hingham to use municipal property as the site for a center for active living. The clerk called the roll for final passage; the clerk reported "37 members having voted in the affirmative, none in the negative" and the measure passed to be enacted and will be laid before the governor for approval.
The vote was conducted under the constitutionally required two-thirds threshold for land takings; the Senate then adopted routine orders for its next meeting and adjourned in memory of Donna Goldstein.
