THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 7, 2025 Page 27 BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 islation in a timely fashion.” “In Massachusetts, we have a full-time, professional Legislature, which requires preparation and preparedness,” said Rep. Kathy LaNatra (D-Kingston) who opposed the amendment. “When a poll is released by a committee chair, that should not be the first time we are reading a piece of legislation. Committee polls should remain at the chair’s discretion, ensuring decisions reflect urgency rather than arbitrary deadlines. Committees I have been on have provided days to review language. We must, however, always maintain our ability to act for our constituents when the time arises.” (A “Yes” vote is for the twohour minimum. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No NOTIFY REPRESENTATIVES OF COMMITTEE POLLS AT LEAST 12 HOURS IN ADVANCE (H 2024) House 23-128, rejected an amendment that would require all joint committee members to be notified at least 12 hours in advance if the committee is going to poll members electronically. “When a poll is released with a tight deadline to respond, there is always a danger that a committee member may not see it until after the poll has closed because they may be tied up in a constituent meeting, attending a municipal event in their district, or driving to the Statehouse and unable to review their e-mails,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This amendment simply provides members with advance notice of an upcoming poll so they can plan their schedule accordingly and provide a timely response.” “As full-time legislators, committee work and committee votes are a major part of our role,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville) who opposed the amendment. “Requiring a 12-hour notice for an electronic poll would not increase the efficiency of our legislative process and [would] only slow down our work to address critical issues.” (A “Yes” vote is for the 12-hour minimum. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep.
