S 2200 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act limiting the impact of student loans to help staff succeed

This bill creates a state program allowing the Massachusetts general court to directly repay student loans for state government employees (excluding legislators). It authorizes the legislature to establish guidelines limiting eligible loan types and maximum repayment amounts per employee. The program would be funded through state appropriations, not employee payments. The bill does not affect the general public or change existing employee compensation structures.
