The committee also reported local measures allowing additional all‑alcohol or wine‑and‑malt licenses for towns including Palmer (House 4282) and Lexington (House 3893), and other town charter and local licensing items.

On the floor, the presiding officer called the question and the chamber recorded that various bills were ordered to be read a third time or passed “to be engrossed.” The transcript records mostly voice votes in which “the ayes have it,” and notes where local approval was received for a town licensing bill.

Bills moved forward included Senate 2580 (establishing a sick‑leave bank for Robert Tiro, an employee of the trial court), House 2798 (Kendra Winter, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education), House 1596 (Anna C. Contreras, trial court), and House 4322 (Carlos Borges, Department of Correction). Several of the bills were passed “to be engrossed” by voice vote; on bills with amendments the clerk read the changes into the record.

Representative Walsh of Peabody moved amendments inserting emergency preambles for House 1596 (Anna C. Contreras) and House 4322 (Carlos Borges); both amendments were adopted. For House 4322 the amendment also struck out section 2. Senate 2580 (Robert Tiro) received an emergency preamble and a separate constitutionally required division vote on that preamble before the bill was returned “to be enacted.” The transcript records voice votes with the floor response “the ayes have it” for many of these actions; floor roll-call divisions were recorded for the emergency preamble on Senate 2580. The clerk read title changes for several bills that had been altered by the committee during third reading.

These measures are private or special‑act style bills that create sick‑leave banks on behalf of named employees; the transcript records procedural advancement and adopted amendments but contains no floor debate on the substantive need for each bank.","The House moved multiple bills that would establish sick‑leave banks for individual state employees to engrossment or enactment; several bills received emergency preambles or amendments on the floor.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6137970,"House refers governor's FY2025 supplemental appropriations message to Ways and Means",25,40000,65000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5593744-1ea82f595c9449d5319d6db0f0c175ef&start=40&end=65","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5593744-1ea82f595c9449d5319d6db0f0c175ef/thumbnail_40000.jpg","/articles/6137970/Massachusetts/House-refers-governors-FY2025-supplemental-appropriations-message-to-Ways-and-Means","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6137970-abb95f8cd66c6281c887c071be030915/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900218&Signature=G7YCB0edh1~9RqPgAP8h3MJxEHSJvMpKO4mbM2uTLRhy5zwfMI1gC9hIZ6-Q1kUIZQeUrztm2alWctnA3QZ-pQIenfXYQ5mgCP9GMs-w47wlTitQ0wejyNZqnDTAtNNZVwRku2yah5YW0aJgTF~dJa9pKMgxP~Ft3LspA~9s4Ff1xhmiJ7VPVCY55PCSR~dTkk2unKeMablt8PB7oJAj68ueicp0htOhsdoF-BkHzQrf7B8jnI7W3BCkO42qAKLX6OoTpFW1eANHg2jG5ZDXuYgIEtaJJn879W6dfbYHBz~cS7DLMAAsW9OzUxKm7LitnR5O13aPpUsWY1IabaSkwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A message from the governor requesting supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2025 was filed with the clerk on Aug. 14 at 9:25 a.m., and the House referred the message to the committee on Ways and Means.

The referral, announced from the floor, means the House’s budget committee will review the governor’s requested supplemental spending before any floor action. The clerk read the filing time into the record; no committee debate or floor debate was recorded on the message during the session.

The governor’s request was described in a single floor statement and then referred; the transcript does not include details of the specific programs or dollar amounts in the message.
