Massachusetts Bill on U.S. Senate Vacancies Passes Committees

On September 16, the Massachusetts Election Law Committees in both houses passed HB 656. The bill now goes to each chamber of the full legislature, where it will be taken up on September 17. The bill lets the Governor appoint someone to fill U.S. Senate vacancies as soon as they occur, although the appointee would only serve until the special election is held.
