Massachusetts lawmakers approved several key bills, sending them to the desk of Governor Charlie Baker early Monday as the formal legislative session concluded for the year. But a number of other significant proposals died as the deadline came and went. Here’s some things that failed to pass over the weekend:
■ A bill that would have restricted the noncompete agreements used by companies to prevent employees from leaving to work for a competitor or to start a rival firm
■ A proposal to impose hotel-like taxes on short-term rentals, like those booked through Airbnb and similar websites
■ Legislation that would have banned drivers from using hand-held cellphones
■ A provision that would have granted cities and towns more control over liquor licenses
■ A proposal to raise the minimum legal sales age for tobacco products from 18 to 21
■ Legislation creating a paid family and medical leave program for workers
■ A bill that would have authorized a sales tax holiday one weekend this summer
