SD 3614 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

Order for considering House Bill, No. 4683 during the Senate Session of January 29, 2026

SD 3614 is a procedural motion to schedule House Bill 4683 for immediate consideration during the Senate session on January 29, 2026. It bypasses standard Senate rules to place HB 4683 (which addresses teacher preparation and student literacy) on the agenda for a second reading, including the Ways and Means committee's proposed amendments. The motion specifies that all amendments to the bill will be limited to second-reading amendments, with no further amendments allowed after that stage. This order, adopted on January 22, 2026, does not change the policy of HB 4683 itself but accelerates its legislative process.
