The House and Senate tackled court veto overrides, among other
matters, when they met in a rare Saturday session last week. As of
press time, the House and Senate have voted to override $5.1
million of the $6.7 million that Governor Baker had vetoed from
court accounts.
On July 23, the House passed an amended version of House Bill No. 4107, An Act Relative to Child
Centered Family Law. The MBA's House of Delegates voted at its May
meeting to oppose House Bill No. 4107 as drafted and to support its
own amended version. We continue to advocate for the changes
supported by the MBA.
The House and Senate are scheduled to meet this Saturday and
Sunday to conclude formal sessions for the year.
