HD 6242 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act making certain appropriations for fiscal year 2027 before final action on the General Appropriation Bill

This bill provides $7.7 billion in temporary funding to keep state departments and agencies running through the end of fiscal year 2026 before the main budget for 2027 is finalized. It allows the state treasurer to make advance payments to local cities and school districts facing immediate cash shortages, provided these needs are verified by state officials. Additionally, the legislation reauthorizes unused funds from capital accounts so they can be used to pay bills during the upcoming fiscal year instead of being lost. All money spent under this act must align with the final budget passed later, and the law takes effect on June 30, 2026.
