House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, who is currently being investigated for alleged ethics violations, said Tuesday that the House would review recommendations put forth by Gov. Deval Patrick's ethics task force but did not ensure their swift passage into law.

Patrick, a Milton Democrat, called on Legislature to act on the recommendations within 30 days. He plans to introduce the recommendations as legislation on Wednesday.

"The members of the House will thoroughly review the recommendations from the governor's task force and we will seriously consider any necessary changes in the new term," DiMasi, a Boston Democrat, said in a statement.

"Massachusetts faces serious challenges in the coming year - from finding ways to balance our budget amid a crushing fiscal crisis to reforming our transportation system to make it fairer for all," DiMasi also said. "The best way to maintain and build upon the public's trust is by tackling these problems directly, leveling with people and engaging them in our solutions. In the process, I believe some common sense ethics reforms should be considered."
