Loading...
Summary
The House passed a set of bills to be enacted — including waivers of minimum age requirements for named police officer applicants and several municipal measures — by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives placed several bills before the chamber for final passage and approved them by voice vote.
Items identified for final passage included Senate measures directing the City of Boston Police Department to waive minimum age requirements for named individuals (as listed in the clerk’s reading), and a variety of municipal measures affecting town councils, town managers and local trust funds. The clerk read the bills and the Chair put the question; the House responded with the customary voice vote—"all those in favor say ‘aye’"—and the presiding officer announced that the ayes had it.
The transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies or individual member votes for these final-passage items; outcomes are recorded as passed to be enacted.
Provenance and next steps: the bills passed will be enrolled or sent on for whatever next procedural step applies in law (e.g., engrossment, enrollment, or presentation to the governor) depending on their docket status.
