Where it stands

House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT · Senate: INTERIM STUDY

Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.

A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

In practice this often ends a bill's progress for the term.

Votes

Roll call tallies and individual votes from the General Court roll call files. Presiding, excused and absent are shown separately: one member presides over each House roll call and does not vote except to break a tie.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT

Rep. Vanessa Sheehan

Currently, bills may be tracked from drafting through the House and Senate chambers on the General Court website, enabling the public to track exactly where the bill is on its journey to becoming a law. However, after the bill has been passed by the second chamber, there are a number of steps before it heads to the Governor’s desk for signature. The bill goes to the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) for a final check to catch typographical errors and ensure that all the statutory references are correct. Then, it goes to the Speaker of the House for signature, and then on to the President of the Senate for signature. The Secretary of State’s Office is responsible for transferring the bill file through these steps and tracking the bill’s current whereabouts. There is no public-facing tracking system during this period. Anyone wanting to know where the bill is at any moment of time must contact the Secretary of State’s Office for the information. This bill establishes a commission consisting of legislators, the House and Senate Clerks, and the Secretary of State or designee to study the process until the bill reaches the Governor’s desk, and to make any recommendations for improvement to the process by November 1, 2026. The amendment adds a representative from the Office of Legislative Services to the commission. Vote 11-0.
