Order relative to the daily printing of the Journal of the Senate
This bill (SD 3555) is a procedural rule change for the Massachusetts Senate. It directs the Senate Clerk to begin daily printing of the Journal of the Senate (as authorized by Senate Rule 6) and eliminates the daily reading of the Journal. It also requires printing and binding the complete session Journal with appendices and an index, and depositing a certified copy with the Secretary of the Commonwealth as the official record. The bill affects only internal Senate administrative processes, not external constituents or policy outcomes.
