Summary of Bill H 4968 (Session 194th, Massachusetts)

Purpose and intent

  • The bill is an order extending the time for the Committee on Revenue to report on a set of current House documents.
  • Specifically, it grants the Committee on Revenue until Friday, February 27, 2026, to finalize and report on the listed House documents.

Key provisions and changes

  • The order overrides standard procedural deadlines to extend the reporting period for the Committee on Revenue.
  • Documents affected (final report deadline extension applies to these "current House documents"):
    • House Documents: 3007, 3013, 3033, 3098, 3117, 3119, 3133, 3142, 3143, 3171, 3184, 4080, 4082, 4083.
  • The extension is a procedural mechanism only, not a substantive policy change to the documents themselves.

Who/what is affected

  • The primary impact is on the legislative process within the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
  • The Committee on Revenue is the主体 for finalizing reports on the listed House documents; leadership and members of that committee, as well as the sponsors, are directly involved.
  • Stakeholders referencing these documents (e.g., state agencies, policymakers, and the public) may experience a delay in final reporting and potential subsequent action on those documents.

Procedural and timeline details

  • Effective action: The order is an official action by the House to suspend or modify standard Rule 27 timing to allow an extension.
  • New deadline: Friday, February 27, 2026, for the Committee on Revenue to file its final report on the specified documents.
  • Action history:
    • 2026-01-20: Referred to House Rules
    • 2026-01-20: Committee reported ought to be adopted
    • 2026-01-20: Rules suspended
    • 2026-01-20: Adopted
  • Sponsors:
    • Co-sponsors: Adrian Madaro, Ted Philips

Observations

  • There is no substantive policy content within the bill itself beyond extending the reporting deadline; no new appropriations, mandates, or program changes are described in the bill text.
  • The extension appears to be a routine procedural adjustment to facilitate completion of reports on long-running or complex documents.
