An Act making appropriations for the fiscal year 2025 to provide for supplementing certain existing appropriations and for certain other activities and projects
H 4005 is a supplemental appropriations bill for Massachusetts' fiscal year 2025, adding $728.5 million in new funding to existing budgets from the Education and Transportation Funds. It directly affects public transportation (allocating $500 million to the MBTA for infrastructure, fare relief, and safety), K-12 schools (funding universal meals, green school projects, and special education), and early education (providing $40 million for provider reimbursement rates and workforce support). Key provisions include $25 million for early literacy tutoring in grades K-3, $50 million for career technical education expansion, and $8.5 million to reduce English language learning waitlists. The bill specifies exact funding amounts for each program with conditions, such as prioritizing high-need students for tutoring and workforce-aligned career training.
