Massachusetts “will decide in early September whether to appoint a temporary successor to Edward Kennedy as US lawmakers gear up for fierce debates on key legislation, officials said Monday,” according to the AFP.
"Within a week after Labor Day there will be a hearing… so in early September," Meghan Bartley, legislative aide of the state’s committee on election law, told AFP.
"They have to figure out if they will change the current law. Every member of the (Massachusetts) House and Senate will attend the hearing."
