House adopts amendment to Andover petition bill making it effective on passage
Summary
The House adopted an amendment offered by Rep. Walsh of Peabody to a Senate bill about voter-petition thresholds for special town meetings in Andover, adding a section that makes the act effective upon passage.
The Clerk announced that Senate number 2544, "an act regulating the number of registered voters who may petition for a special town meeting in the town of Andover," had been released for third reading. Representative Walsh of Peabody moved to amend by adding a section stating the act "shall take effect upon its passage." The Chair put the question on the amendment; the ayes prevailed and the amendment was adopted.
Following adoption of the amendment, the House voted to engross the bill as amended. The transcript records the amendment text (effect on passage) and the adoption vote, but does not include further floor debate on policy merits.
