Committee reports on the floor recommended that accompanying bills \"ought to pass\" for several individual sick leave bank petitions. The bills and the employees named in the House record include: House No. 2798 for Kendra Winter (petition filed by Michael S. Day and Jason M. Lewis); House No. 4032 for Dana Johnson (petition filed by James J. O'Day); House No. 4103 for Steven Forget (joint petition filed by Natalie M. Higgins and John J. Cronin); House No. 4104 for Daniel Yender (petition filed by Don Shand); and House No. 4161 (reported variously in the transcript) for Mark Kratman (petition filed by Colleen M. Gary). Each committee report was accompanied by a recommendation from the committee on steering, policy and scheduling that the measure be scheduled for consideration by the House.

On the floor, members repeatedly moved suspension of the rules to advance the measures to second reading and, where recorded, the House ordered the bills to third reading after voice votes. The transcript records routine floor procedure (suspension of rules, second reading, ordering third reading) but does not show final enactment of these individual bills on the floor.

These sick leave bank measures are individual, employee-specific bills that the House moves through committee and House readings; further action is required before any would take effect.

No dollar amounts, statutory text, or implementation details for the sick leave banks were provided on the floor beyond the committee reports and the bill numbers and petition sponsors listed above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Informal House Session 49 - May 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The House Committee on Public Service reported favorably on several bills to create sick leave banks for specific employees and the measures were scheduled for further House consideration and readings.","taxTitle","House, Legislative, Massachusetts","taxId",23887,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6222262,"House declines to concur on FY2026 amendment, reappoints conference committee; approves FY2025 supplemental",873,123000,996000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3610411-bd9ac345abf3091e76ce62298e67135f&start=123&end=996","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3610411-bd9ac345abf3091e76ce62298e67135f/thumbnail_123000.jpg","/articles/6222262/Massachusetts/House-declines-to-concur-on-FY2026-amendment-reappoints-conference-committee-approves-FY2025-supplemental","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222262-2efbcc95c430a757727f95ad2650eb3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140044&Signature=lKf6K14XC6ty5p1qVe9TCfzwUmLvGEGmYEfWpcyplNZpTjYmXB0HPBfeQt5u-4Eb85Sw~V5Deav3e-R8BKcWzOvFQLXFNke6~VACqFSuU~7jtZ823wmhzko9GqYq9DKK2NCup13BFjvEtdbrqgerrtGeIbowHaZKmqk~Bm9Haoqv50WXMW3MNjEs4nxheg-AFNQIy4T8FHtnLmsDcTKkx432xR8xZ4Q99smZLCM9-gj3hSy-bOcf1BX-VjSEUCE~Ie40pP4U5ytNd8~L80j3cP8KGKmQQMbVgnZusI40Zj~U74R4MuT8TsdqzH4X2-2JMALLEiLb~seTKTd87DNNkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Massachusetts House of Representatives on the floor declined to concur with a Senate amendment to a House fiscal 2026 appropriation bill (House No. 4001) and reappointed a conference committee to resolve differences. The chamber separately adopted and passed to be enacted a Senate fiscal 2025 supplemental appropriations bill (Senate No. 2521), including adoption of the emergency preamble.

The House recorded a voice vote declining to concur with the amendment to House No. 4001; the presiding officer then moved to reappoint a conference committee. The chair announced appointees to the conference committee as \"Mister Mikowitz, Mister Ferrante, and Mister Smola\" according to the House proceedings. The committee will meet to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the FY2026 measure.

Separately, the House took up Senate No. 2521, a supplemental appropriations bill for fiscal 2025. The bill was read, ordered through second and third readings under suspension of the rules, and the House adopted the bill's emergency preamble following division calls. The presiding officer stated the bill \"is passed to be enacted.\" The record shows division tallies during the emergency preamble roll call that the presiding officer summarized as resulting in adoption.

The House concluded its session by adopting an order that it stand adjourned to meet Monday next at 11 a.m.

Details in the House record indicate the matters were advanced through routine procedural steps (suspension of rules, second and third readings) and that the conference committee was reappointed where the two chambers did not concur. No final enacted text or fiscal totals beyond the bill numbers were included in the floor statements.","The Massachusetts House did not concur with a Senate amendment to a FY2026 appropriation bill and reappointed a conference committee; the chamber separately adopted and passed a FY2025 supplemental appropriations bill (Senate No. 2521) with its emergency preamble.","actionData","errors"]
