Loading...
Summary
The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported a slate of bills to be scheduled for House consideration, including a Senate bill to allow Taunton to set a separate water billing rate for manufactured housing communities (Senate No. 2652) and several House bills on tax exemptions and property valuation filing.
The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling reported that multiple bills will be scheduled for House consideration. Notable items listed by the committee include a Senate bill authorizing the City of Taunton to establish a separate billing rate for water supply to manufactured housing communities (Senate No. 2652, local approval received), House bills concerning public insurance adjusters (House No. 1113), the electronic filing of certain property-valuation forms (House No. 3093), measures addressing late payments and interest for real estate and personal property taxes (House No. 3238), and several local property tax exemption proposals for Milton, Marblehead, Wrentham and West Tisbury.
Representative Fields moved to suspend rule 7A to advance those measures to second reading; the motion passed by voice vote and 7A was suspended.
Why it matters: scheduling determines which measures the full chamber will consider and when they may be debated on the floor.
