John Nunnari, a close, knowledgeable, and astute observer of the legislature, reports this morning in an email that the special legislation confirming the town’s right to purchase the former Medfield State Hospital site for $3.1 m. could be passed today. Then we just need the Governor’s signature.
Bill Massaro reported yesterday that he is being told that our bill ma not have an emergency preamble included, and hence it does not. However, the bill does state –
“94 SECTION 8. Sections 1 to 7, inclusive, shall take effect upon their acceptance by a
95 majority vote of the board of selectmen of the town of Medfield, but not otherwise.”
That makes it sound like the selectmen’s vote makes the bill effective instead.
John’s email follows –
Cleared 3rd Reading and is now on the House Calendar.
If lucky, it’ll be taken up during today’s House Formal.
John
