1,079 charsdecisions came down on March 6, 1979, and March 23,1979, respectively. A bill "relative to the jurisdiction of the housing court” (1979 Senate Doc. No. 1763) was filed on March 15, 1979, and a substituted bill (1979 House Doc. No. 5857) was passed in both the House of Representatives and the Senate on April 2,1979 (1979 House Journal at 481; 1979 Senate Journal at 308), and signed by the Governor on April 6,1979. Section 4 of the act provides: "This act shall take effect upon its passage.” From this unusually expeditious movement of the bill to enactment, it is apparent that the Legislature’s purpose was to clarify its intent that the Housing Court take cognizance of c. 93A claims which related to housing conditions. We must.consider, then, if c. 72 has retrospective effect and can cure the jurisdictional flaw in this otherwise fully litigated case. Although § 4 of c. 72 provides the "act shall take effect upon its passage,” that language is not inconsistent with an intent to have the legislation apply retroactively. Smith v. Freedman, 268 Mass. 38, 41-42 (1929).
