THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026 Page 3 Massachusetts House Passes Fair Share Supplemental Budget Bill invests in public transportation and education, addresses FY26 defi ciencies and delays implementation of federal corporate tax changes passed in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” B OSTON — Wednesday, March 18, 2026 — The Massachusetts House of Representatives today passed a $1.8 billion supplemental budget that invests $885 million in public transportation and $417 million in public education and funds several Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) defi ciencies. The bill passed today also includes the tax conformity legislation fi led by Governor Healey that delays the state’s alignment with the corporate tax changes passed by Congress in the OB3 Act last year. “From significant investments in public transportation and public education, to support for DTA caseworkers and expenses related to the World Cup, to fiscally prudent tax conformity measures — this legislation is representative of the responsible approach that the House will continue to take as we navigate a period of signifi cant economic uncertainty,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz for his hard work, as well as all my colleagues in the House for recognizing the importance of the investments and reforms that this legislation makes.” “The use of these one-time surplus funds provides us with a unique opportunity to better strength the Commonwealth in numerous ways. 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,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz, Chair of the House Committee on Ways & Means (D-Boston). “I want to thank Speaker Mariano and all our House colleagues for their input and support on this critical funding legislation.” “I’m proud to support this supplemental budget, which delivers meaningful investments in public transportation and education while responsibly addressing our fi scal obligations. I’m especially grateful to Speaker Mariano and Chairman Michlewitz for their leadership in advancing a thoughtful, balanced approach during a time of economic uncertainty,” said Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “Working closely with my colleagues in the House delegation, I am proud to have helped secure critical funding that directly benefi ts MASS HOUSE | SEE Page 4 Jessica Ann Giannino State Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative Lawrence A.
