The emergency preamble to he Medfield State Hospital purchase legislation had mysteriously been removed within the past couple of weeks, and Rep. Denise Garlick reports that it has been put back in today. The emergency preamble allows bills to take effect immediately upon signing by the Governor, as otherwise there is a 90 day waiting period before it becomes law.
I had emailed Rep. Garlick and Rep. Dooley yesterday, after being alerted by Bill Massaro to the change, to query why the emergency preamble had been removed.
Per email from Mike just now ==>
Representative Garlick just called to advise that the emergency preamble has been added back to the proposed legislation on the sale of the hospital property to the Town. she said that everything is moving along smoothly on that bill. Mike Sullivan
