THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of June 1-5,
$1.35 BILLION SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 5470)
House 153-0, Senate 37-3, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a $1.35 billion fiscal 2026 supplemental budget that includes $558 million for education and $794 million for transportation.
Some of the funding will come from the $1.3 billion generated by the 2022 voter-approved constitutional amendment, known by supporters as the Millionaire’s Tax and the Fair Share Amendment, which imposes a surtax of an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current flat 5 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million annually. Language in the constitutional amendment requires that “subject to appropriation, the revenue will go to fund quality public education, affordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation.”
Education provisions include $152 million for special education reimbursements; $150 million for making childcare more affordable and accessible; and $40 million to help young learners read, including $20 million for high-dosage tutoring and $20 million for classroom programs designed to accelerate reading skills for kids in kindergarten through third grade.
Transportation provisions include $595 million for the MBTA including $450 million to keep the T running; $60 million for maintenance and upgrades to physical infrastructure with an emphasis on commuter rail improvements; $50.4 million to improve workforce and safety; $20 million to make fares more affordable for low-income riders; and $15 million for water transportation infrastructure across the state.
Other provisions create a new tax exemption, capped at $35 million per year, on building materials used in the construction of affordable, moderate-income and middle-income housing projects; a permanent extension of the state’s temporary 20-cent fee on Uber, Lyft and other rideshare trips; $100 million to help cities and towns recover from major storms over the winter; $1 million to help public school districts implement bell-to-bell cell phone-free policies; and $1 million toward free legal services for immigrants and refugees who need help navigating the courts.
“This legislation reflects exactly the responsible, forward-looking governance that Massachusetts families deserve,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “It makes significant investments in our schools and transit, paired with fiscally prudent steps to protect our state finances during a period of uncertainty. From making childcare more affordable to keeping the T running to helping immigrants access legal protections, this package addresses the needs of residents across the commonwealth.”
“From significant investments in public transportation and public education, to support for Department of Transitional Assistance caseworkers and expenses related to the World Cup, to fiscally prudent tax conformity measures – this legislation is representative of the responsible approach that Massachusetts must continue to take during this period of significant fiscal uncertainty, while still ensuring robust state support for vital projects,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).
“Reflecting the priorities of my Senate colleagues, this package makes meaningful investments in education and transportation that touch all corners of the commonwealth,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “The bill prioritizes municipal winter relief and targeted tax incentives to jumpstart housing production. With its passage, we are bolstering our public transportation system, supporting statewide education initiatives, training the next generation of doctors and teachers and taking proactive steps to responsibly mitigate the fallout from federal tax changes.”
“The use of these one-time surplus funds provides us with a unique opportunity to better strengthen the commonwealth in numerous ways,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, (D-Boston), chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “By further improving our educational and transportation sectors, we will build off the work we have done in the last several budget cycles with a judicious use of the Fair Share funds. The tax changes contained in this bill will help support the state’s economic competitiveness, while giving us time to absorb the expected loss in revenue.”
“The supplemental budget included a legal defense fund for non-citizens, as well as tax provisions that prevented tax relief for residents—the very people funding that defense fund through their own taxes and who could face penalties if they tried to reduce their tax burden,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) one of only three legislators to vote against the budget.
Sens. Kelly Dooner (R-Taunton) and Peter Durant (R-Spencer), the other two senators who voted against the budget, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them why they voted against it.
“Only in Massachusetts, do they pass a supplemental budget while passing their annual budget at the same time,” said Paul Craney, executive director of the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “This short term budget was filled with policies that would exclude tax benefits that were passed by Congress, in order for Statehouse politicians to keep more of our tax dollars. It once again shows how Statehouse lawmakers can never tax you enough.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the $1.35 billion budget. A “No” vote is against it.)

$4.58 BILLION FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS INCLUDING $300 MILLION FOR LOCAL ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 5375)
House 152-0, Senate 39-0, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a measure that authorizes $4.58 billion in bonding for various local, regional and state transportation programs. The package includes $300 million for cities and towns for local road and bridges — $200 million which will be distributed to all municipalities based on the standard Chapter 90 Program distribution formula and another $100 million which will be distributed to all municipalities based solely on road mileage.
Other provisions include $500 million for the Lifecycle Asset Management Program which aids non-federally funded roads and targets the pavement and bridges across the state that are in the worst condition; $200 million for capital projects to support housing development, including stormwater management, culverts and bike and pedestrian improvements; $200 million for a new accelerated deferred maintenance and modernization program for infrastructure under the care and control of the Department of Conservation and Recreation; and $200 million for the MBTA for the procurement of electrically powered locomotives.
The legislation also reauthorizes $3.18 billion in funding for several programs included in the 2022 Transportation Bond Bill including $2.3 billion for projects on interstates and other federally aided highways; $800 million for improvements to non-federally aided roadways and bridges; $65 million for the Municipal Pavement Program for engineering, permitting, design and climate change adaptation on municipal ways; and $12 million for grants for the Shared Streets Program for improvements to municipal streets to create additional capacity for pedestrians and cyclists.
“Today, the Legislature is taking action to fix potholes, repair local bridges and build on the progress Massachusetts public transit has made,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “At the same time, this legislation will help ease serious financial burdens on cities and towns that are navigating a difficult financial landscape.”
“Providing funding for critical infrastructure projects through investments in the commonwealth’s public transportation, roads and bridges is one of the most important responsibilities that we have as members of the Legislature,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m proud of the support for local infrastructure repairs that this legislation provides, and of the funding included for the MBTA.”
“I am proud to see another annual Chapter 90 bill fund the commonwealth’s immediate municipal roadway and transportation needs,” said Rep. Michael Finn (D-West Springfield), House Chair of the Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. “This year’s legislation also gives the Administration the flexibility to deploy additional funds towards large-scale transportation investments which may arise over the next few years.”
“Grateful that we can say the winter of 2026 is finally in the rearview mirror, the Legislature has moved forward in addressing long-term capital projects for roadways and bridges all across the commonwealth,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This bond bill provides support for critical capital projects in transportation that will spur housing development, make our roads and bridges safer and continue to build and improve upon the MBTA’s ongoing railway improvement projects.”
“As we head into peak construction season, local leaders from every region and corner of the commonwealth greatly appreciate the Legislature’s prioritization of this vital transportation and infrastructure package, which includes critical funding to support local road, bridge, sidewalk and culvert repairs,” said Massachusetts Municipal Association Executive Director Adam Chapdelaine. “The essential Chapter 90 local road and bridge program has a direct positive impact on public safety, economic development and quality of life in every single city and town in Massachusetts, especially as many municipalities face serious fiscal challenges.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the $4.58 billion package.)

AUDIT THE LEGISLATURE AND MORE (H 5469)
House 125-28, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would narrow the scope of a voter-approved legislative audit and create a formal process to govern public access to legislative records. Democratic leaders argued the bill preserves the constitutional separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches, where the auditor’s office is positioned. Democratic State Auditor Diana DiZoglio and the Republicans disagreed and argued the bill goes against the will of the voters who, in the November 2024 election, approved Ballot Question 1 asking them if they favor allowing the state auditor to audit the Legislature. The question passed overwhelmingly by 72% of the vote. It has now been 19 months since the voters approved the audit but an audit has yet to take place.
According to the State House News Service, the bill would limit the auditor’s power to investigate the branch to four categories of administrative functions, rather than the more expansive language outlined in the 2024 ballot law. And the legislation would also create a new statute establishing a legislative records request process and codifying which records would be public — most of which are already publicly available — and subject the governor’s office to the public records law from which they currently claim an exemption. The bill also stops Secretary of State Bill Galvin’s office (who usually oversees public records inquiries) from interfering in requests to the Legislature, but allows a path of judicial review, while simultaneously barring the courts from resolving disputes between the auditor and lawmakers.
“For you all know, the House does not oppose an audit,” said Speaker Ron Mariano. “The House is already audited every year by an independent auditing firm, the results of which are posted on the Legislature’s website upon completion. What we oppose is a politically motivated audit conducted in violation of the Constitution, which is why we didn’t see a path forward until recently, when the auditor finally specified the scope of the audit before the Supreme Judicial Court.”
All 25 Republicans voted against the bill. All Democrats but three voted for it. Five Democrats did not vote. The three Democrats who voted against it were Reps. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge), Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro) and Alan Silvia (D-Fall River). Rep. Susannah Whipps (U-Athol), the one non-party affiliated member in the Legislature, voted for the legislation.
“This legislation was drafted in partnership with good government experts to increase access to public records from the executive and legislative branches, and to establish a clear framework for legislative audits conducted by the state auditor,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy), the chief proponent of the measure. “These measures will build on the rules reforms that the Legislature adopted earlier this session, and will ensure greater transparency while respecting legislative privilege and the separation-of-powers principles outlined in the state Constitution. We hope this legislation will put an end to protracted litigation, address an issue that may otherwise come before voters on the ballot and allow the Legislature to refocus on the many issues facing Massachusetts residents.”
DiZoglio disagreed. “The people have a co-equal right with the Legislature to create laws, and the courts have a constitutional right to adjudicate laws,” she responded. “With this proposed bill, and under the guise of transparency, your state representatives are not only throwing the 72% voter-mandated law in the dumpster – they’re taking a match and lighting that dumpster on fire, violating the people’s constitutional rights and undermining democracy.” She said House leaders were “painting this as some sort of a transparency measure” while “essentially negating everything that you voted for in the November 2024 ballot question.” “They are conducting a victory lap right now for themselves, patting themselves on the back for helping to ensure transparency and accountability, and using all the buzz words.”
“The speaker is acting like an authoritarian, and I am calling on him to resign,” DiZoglio said on Boston Public Radio. She also urged Gov. Healey to veto the bill if it ever reaches her desk. She continued, “The speaker needs to retire, resign, move on. We need new leadership in our state government, in our state Legislature.” She said lawmakers “need to move on” if they “don’t think they need to answer to anybody.”
A spokesperson for Mariano responded, “The speaker is calling on the auditor to tone down the rhetoric. Personal attacks will not solve the fundamental flaws with the audit ballot question — the legislation that the House passed this week does exactly that.”
“The voters of Massachusetts made their voices clear when they overwhelmingly supported giving the state auditor the authority to audit the Legislature,” said Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver) who opposed the bill. “This bill does not honor that mandate. Instead, it creates a system where legislative leaders maintain control over what information can be reviewed, who can be interviewed and whether disputes can ever be challenged in court. An audit without enforcement is not accountability,” Gaskey said. “If the Legislature can decide what information to provide, deny requests without meaningful review and prevent the courts from stepping in, then the people of Massachusetts are not getting the independent audit they voted for.”
“What the Massachusetts House of Representatives is doing today is choosing solutions over constitutional stalemates,” said Rep. Andres Vargas (D-Haverhill) who supported the measure. “Building on best practices and working with good-government experts, this bill ensures that the governor’s office will be subject to the existing public records law — a longstanding goal of public records advocates. And the House is taking the historic step of subjecting the Legislature to a new public records requirement and process — one that is consistent with leading constitutional scholars, and that, for the first time, creates a clear process and a statutory right for the public to access legislative records. This is the constitutional path to transparency.”
“This is exactly the kind of Beacon Hill insider maneuver voters thought they were rejecting,” said bill opponent Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “You have politicians taking a law passed by 72% of voters, watering it down behind closed doors and then getting applause from organizations that claim to stand for transparency and accountability. Calling this a transparency bill doesn’t make it one. It is a rebranding effort designed to give cover to an attempt to weaken accountability, and it is disappointing to see organizations that present themselves as watchdogs lending credibility to it. These outside groups like to describe themselves as watchdog organizations, but they prove to be nothing but lapdogs for the Legislature.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.)

CHANGE ARCHAIC LANGUAGE REFERRING TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (H 5474)
House 150-0, approved, Senate approved on a voice vote without a roll call, and sent to Gov. Healey legislation that would modernize and remove archaic language in state laws to reflect the evolution of terminology relating to persons with disabilities.
Changes include replacing “handicapped persons” with “persons with disabilities;” replacing “the mentally retarded” with “persons with an intellectual disability;” replacing “retarded children” with “children with an intellectual disability;” and replacing “disabled American veterans” with “American veterans with disabilities.”
“Removing out-of-date and offensive language from the Massachusetts General Laws to describe people with disabilities is an important step in ensuring that our values are also reflected in our statutes,” said Rep. Jay Livingstone (D-Boston), House chair of the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “As legislators, it is our job to help make sure that people with intellectual or developmental disabilities feel included, accepted and embraced for who they are, and this is an important step in doing so.”
“I am proud to support [the bill] and take this long-overdue step toward ensuring the laws of the commonwealth reflect the dignity and humanity of every person,” said Rep. Mike Finn (D-West Springfield), sponsor of the House bill. “Our General Laws still contain outdated language that demeans our neighbors with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and that language has no place in the statutes of a state that has always led on civil rights and inclusion. Updating these words is an affirmation that Massachusetts stands for the respect and dignity of all its people.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

MOVE “LAST CALL” FOR ALCOHOL TO 3 A.M. (H 5478)
House 150-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that would enable Massachusetts bars to push their “last call” to as late as 3 a.m., this summer, from June 8 to July 31, if they get local approval from their city or town. The measure would also allow municipalities to establish designated public consumption districts for expanded alcohol purchase and consumption.
Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on the bill and its passage.
“With the World Cup and 250th anniversary celebrations slated to take place in Massachusetts this summer, this pilot program won’t just allow us to better understand the one hour last call extension, it will also ensure that businesses are able to take advantage of the influx of visitors – creating a better experience for everyone,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).
“Extending serving hours through this legislation will help enhance the exciting summer activities that will be occurring all across the commonwealth,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “By making these changes, it will create a fun atmosphere for residents and tourists alike and will enhance the economy for all our residents.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

DATA PRIVACY (H 5479)
House 146-0, approved a proposal that would guard personal privacy and provide data protection for Massachusetts residents.
The Senate has already approved a different version of the measure and the House version now goes to the Senate for consideration.
The House proposal gives all Bay State residents the right to access their personal information; the right to correct inaccurate information; the right to opt out of certain processes such as targeted advertising; the right to transport personal data; and the right to delete certain information.
A key provision would prohibit sensitive data from being sold or shared without a user’s consent. Sensitive data includes information such as biometric or genetic information, precise geolocation data, health and wellness information, reproductive and sexual health data, data of a minor under 18, government-issued identifiers, and data that reveals an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, national origin or citizenship or immigration status, religious beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, status as transgender or non-binary, union membership, status as a military service member or veteran and status as a victim of a crime.
Other provisions include requiring that personal data collection must be proportionate to providing requested services, and data must be protected and deleted when no longer necessary or required by law; special protections for individuals under 18, including a prohibition on targeted advertising to minors; and giving the Office of the Attorney General broad regulatory authority to enforce these new laws.
“The Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act centers the consumer and is a must for the 21st century,” said Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier (D-Pittsfield), House chair of the Committee on Advanced Information Technology, the Internet and Cybersecurity. “Through the technology that we have come to rely on daily, companies collect and legally sell our data, including sensitive data, without our knowledge or consent. The [bill] is a critical step to hold companies accountable, protect minors and establish strong consumer protections. It is the result of public hearings and thoughtful deliberation with privacy experts, advocates and industry representatives.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Quotable Quotes
“Massachusetts is where the American Revolution began. We’re also the birthplace of the abolition movement, a constant leader in civil rights movements and a state made stronger by our immigrant communities. As we celebrate MA250 and America250, it is a disgrace that President Trump is attempting to erase voices and perspectives from one of our nation’s most important historic sites. That’s not preserving history. That’s censoring it. President Trump doesn’t get to decide which parts of our history are worth remembering.”

How long was last week’s session
Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts.
Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
During the week of June 1-5, the House met for a total of 13 hours and 27 minutes and the Senate met for a total of six hours and four minutes.
Mon. June 1 — House: 11:00 a.m. to 11:12 a.m. Senate: 11:02 a.m. to 11:09 a.m.
Tues. June 2 — No House or Senate session.
Wed. June 3 — House: 11:00 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. No Senate session.
Thurs. June 4 —House: 10:59 a.m. to 6:24 p.m. Senate: 11:07 a.m. to 5:04 p.m.
