Synopsis: The legislative committee hearing opens with Rep. Donato calling the House to order and leading the Pledge of Allegiance with the help of the boy scouts from Troop 23, North Attleboro. This troop, hosted by Rep. Scanlon, proudly includes three newly minted Eagle Scouts: Jack Simmons, Zach Crawford, and Ryan Motto. Rep. Donato praises their achievements and the important role scouting plays in developing young individuals. He expresses gratitude to the Scoutmaster for their contribution to the scouts' growth.

Following this, Timothy Carroll from the Office of the Clerk of the House presents a report from the Committee on Temporary Rules. The report recommends the adoption of a resolution filed by Rep. Arciero, aiming to recognize March 2025 as Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood Awareness Month. The resolution moves forward smoothly as Rep. Scanlon seeks suspension of the rules which is granted after a voice vote. The resolution is subsequently adopted by the House without opposition.

Rep. Mariano then proposes an order regarding the schedule for the House's next meeting. After Carroll reads the order, the House agrees that the next meeting will be held on the following Monday at 11:00 AM. This order passes without contest. Finally, Rep. Wong moves for the adjournment of the House, which is agreed upon, marking the conclusion of this session. The session is set to reconvene on the agreed date in an informal session.

Throughout the hearing, there is a clear procedural structure, with each motion, from resolutions to adjournments, being addressed in an orderly manner. The focus remains on acknowledgment and resolutions, with the meeting progressing effectively through its agenda with the participation and consensus of all present members. The hearing underscores the community's engagement in maintaining awareness and honoring young achievers, and promotes the smooth functioning of legislative processes.
