As Chair of the Life Sciences Caucus, it’s a priority of the Senator’s to ensure our life sciences sector is thriving, and importantly, that it is creating a pipeline for a diverse workforce filled with talented individuals from all our state’s many communities. • $190,000 for Bunker Hill Community College’s Boston Welcome Back Center. This innovative program ensures nurses trained in other places can get trained to become registered nurses here in Massachusetts. This ensures the Commonwealth has all the trained professionals it needs to support patients. Senator DiDomenico’s statewide priorities included in this year’s budget: The budget makes historic investments in cities and towns through record levels of Chapter 70 school aid — which helps support the full range of school expenses from teachers to school supplies — and Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA), which local leaders can use as flexible spending for everything from paving sidewalks to hiring police officers. DiDomenico has been a longtime champion for school funding, and this year’s budget completes the Legislature’s promise to fully fund and implement the Student Opportunity Act with $7.66 billion in funding for local school districts — an increase of $297 million over last fiscal year — along with a record $160-per-pupil minimum for local school aid. It also boosts UGGA by $53 million, distributed through a new method based on population, while formally starting the process of reforming the UGGA distribution formula to be more equitable and move forward from an outdated system that has left some municipalities behind. The budget reconvenes the Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) to examine the current K-12 funding formula and assess new ways to address rising costs in special education, student transportation, personnel and educator health care. It also establishes a commission to study public school construction financing through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to ensure grant funding is allocated responsibly and equitably. This has been a concern of DiDomenico’s since his communities have been exploring new school buildings. Housing for our residents is always a big issue for SenPenta, Patricia L ator DiDomenico. This budget builds on last session’s Affordable Homes Act (AHA) with provisions to streamline local permitting, support development on nonconforming properties, provide reasonable timelines for projects to move forward under existing zoning rules and modernize the variance standard — all aimed at meeting housing demand and driving down costs. DiDomenico is greatly concerned about food insecurity and economic security. Through his efforts the budget directs over $265 million towards these areas: $148 million for Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) caseworkers to maintain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) integrity and comply with new federal requirements; $55 million for Emergency Food Assistance, which assists all food banks; and $29.7 million for the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP), which supports local farmers and healthy food access. DiDomenico also advocated for this budget to fully annualize recent benefit increases through Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) and Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC) to fight deep poverty. This includes a $500 clothing allowance per child for families receiving TAFDC benefits. Through DiDomenico’s efforts this fundSELLER2 ADDRESS 7 Hampshire St 20 Ferry St #B 1 Elwood St CITY Everett Everett Everett ing has been distributed to the Commonwealth’s individuals and families who are living in deep poverty. Additional investments include the following: improved safety standards at assisted living residences (in response to the tragic 2025 Gabriel House fire in Fall River); expanded affordability in higher education through Senate-led programs like MassEducate; and full funding for jail diversion programs connecting individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders to appropriate treatment — improving lives and strengthening public safety.

During debate, Senators adopted amendments sending resources to programs and institutions that serve residents across Massachusetts, including funding for the Museum of African American History. Notably, the Senate adopted an amendment shielding children from sexual exploitation and abusive power dynamics by protecting children ages 16 and 17 from sexual interactions with people who are responsible for their care and oversight — mandated reporters, such as teachers and coaches, police officers and social workers and Department of Children and Families (DCF) custodians.
