Summary

The Senate’s Committee on Ways and Means placed S.2720 (a ban on retail sales of dogs, cats and rabbits) on the order of the day for a second meeting on March 19, 2026, with a Ways and Means substitute (S.3014) pending.

The Massachusetts Senate agreed to place a bill that would ban the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits on its order of the day for a second meeting on Thursday, March 19, 2026, with a Ways and Means substitute pending.

The clerk read the committee report and the order scheduling Senate Bill 2720 for second-meeting consideration. The order specified the Ways and Means amendment (Senate No. 3014) would be pending when the bill is taken up. The Senate adopted the order by voice vote.

Because the matter was scheduled by order, the bill will return to the chamber on March 19 with the Ways and Means substitute available for consideration. The clerk’s reading placed the new draft and any second-meeting amendments in order.
