House advances several bills — recall measure for Sharon and multiple police age-waiver bills moved forward

The Massachusetts House advanced a number of measures by voice vote during the session. Members passed a bill providing for the recall of elected officers of the town of Sharon (referred to in the record as 'House Bill 8 62') to be enacted. The House also advanced several bills directing the City of Boston Police Department to waive its maximum age requirement for named applicants; the clerk reported those measures from the Committee on Bills in the Third Reading and the House passed them to be engrossed by voice vote.

Bills reported as passed to be engrossed included a Senate bill to waive the maximum age requirement for Antonio Perez (Senate number 27), a Senate bill related to Cheryl Mallas (referred to as 'Senate number 19 o 7' in the record), and House bills identified in the record as House numbers 4255 and 4256 (directing waiver requests for Jonathan Telford and Jose Ortiz, respectively). The House adopted each by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the session minutes provided.

Several other bills were listed for scheduling and ordered to third reading earlier in the session, including measures on insurer-driven tree removal (House No. 1316), housing stability for families with pets (House No. 1559), and appropriations for community preservation housing in Chatham (House No. 4289). Those scheduling actions were taken by the Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling and by agreement of the House floor.
