HOUSE DOCKET, NO. 2 FILED ON: 1/24/2024 HOUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 2 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE · BOSTON, MA 02133 (617) 725-4000 MAURA T. HEALEY GOVERNOR KIMBERLEY DRISCOLL LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR January 24, 2024 To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives, I am filing for your consideration a bill entitled “An Act Making Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2025 for the Maintenance of the Departments, Boards, Commissions, Institutions, and Certain Activities of the Commonwealth, for Interest, Sinking Fund, and Serial Bond Requirements, and for Certain Permanent Improvements,” more commonly known as House 2. This $56.15 billion proposal represents a sustainable approach to state spending, ensuring a responsible expansion for key policy priorities while managing spending within available revenues, federal funding streams, and reserves. After a series of years with unprecedented one- time revenues in the form of federal funding and tax windfalls, we as a state are experiencing a tightening of tax collections and expect Fiscal Year 2025 to bring a soft landing for the economy and flat growth in revenues. The Governor’s House 2 budget recommendation totals $56.15 billion, an increase of $1.59 billion, or 2.9 percent, over the Fiscal Year 2024 GAA, excluding spending tied to the Fair Share income surtax and Medical Assistance Trust Fund. This spending growth is below inflation with the consumer price index currently at 3.1 percent. Additionally, the recommendation includes $1.3 billion in spending tied to the Fair Share income surtax. In the second full year of Fair Share income surtax availability, House 2 thoughtfully deploys these resources to support critical programs for our education and transportation sectors, while also advancing transformative new investments. The Administration is proud that this budget fully funds another year of implementation of the Student Opportunity Act, increases Unrestricted General Government Aid by 3 percent and fully pays for the package of tax cuts enacted and signed last year by our Administration, in partnership with the Legislature, to make Massachusetts more affordable and competitive. Our Fair Share spending proposal also makes important investments in our Gateway to Pre-K agenda and the Literacy Launch program, to make sure our youngest learners are put on the right path to learn to read, as well as a new investment of $250 million in the Commonwealth Transportation Fund that will leverage $1.1 billion in additional borrowing over the next five years and a doubling of the state’s operating support to the MBTA. House 2 also maintains $475 million in Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) grants, fully supports universal school meals, expands our innovative MassReconnect program with $24 million to provide no-cost community college for students 25 and older and maintains 1 percent of total spending for the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. We are also proposing to create a new Disaster Relief and Resiliency Fund to better enable Massachusetts to respond quickly to natural disasters, such as the flooding experienced over the past year. This fund would be capitalized with 10 percent of annual excess capital gains, in addition to public and private sources, federal grants, settlements, repayments, or reimbursements available for the purpose of delivering aid. Recognizing the fiscal challenges we have confronted in Fiscal Year 2024 and assuming flat tax revenues in FY25, the House 2 recommendation proposes a glidepath into future fiscal years that combines controlled spending with new recurring non-tax revenues that will grow over time. This utilization of a thoughtful combination of funding sources ensures a responsibly balanced budget that does not raise taxes, minimizes impact to our most vulnerable residents and does not utilize the Stabilization Fund. The Stabilization Fund has grown to a record high balance of over $8 billion and would continue to grow under this House 2 budget proposal. The consensus tax revenue estimate that was agreed to with the Legislature assumes $2 billion in total capital gains revenue. Our blueprint would allow for a portion of capital gains tax revenues above the statutory threshold, not to exceed $375 million, to be retained as a last resort to balance the budget and sustain essential programs. Our budget recommendation proposes to continue to use excess capital gains to build the Stabilization Fund balance, address pension and other post-employment benefit liabilities, and contribute to the new Disaster and Resiliency Trust Fund. The budget recommendation maintains the state’s commitment to fully fund its pension liability by 2036 with $4.5 billion in FY25, a $395 million increase over the FY24 contribution. Projected sales tax revenues will enable a $1.5 billion transfer to support the operations of the MBTA and $1.3 billion will be transferred to the Massachusetts School Building Authority to support school construction across the state. The budget also commits $27 million for the Workforce Training Fund to support the state’s workforce, competitiveness, and engine for growth. Spending is also supported by a proposal to move the Lottery online and a tax amnesty program to help make sure Massachusetts can collect the taxes it is owed. As required by section 6E of chapter 29 of the General Laws, my recommendations today constitute a balanced budget for the Commonwealth. I urge you to enact this legislation in time for the start of the coming fiscal year. Respectfully submitted, Maura T. Healey, Governor The Commonwealth of Massachusetts IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-FOUR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DEPARTMENTS, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, INSTITUTIONS, AND CERTAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMONWEALTH, FOR INTEREST, SINKING FUND, AND SERIAL BOND REQUIREMENTS, AND FOR CERTAIN PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.

(2) The commissioner shall not authorize the waiver of any interest or any amount treated as interest. (3) The commissioner's authority to waive penalties during the amnesty period shall not apply to any taxpayer who is or has been the subject of a tax-related criminal investigation or prosecution or to any taxpayer who delivers or discloses or has delivered or disclosed any false or fraudulent application, document, return or other statement. (4) Any taxpayer who delivers or discloses a false or fraudulent application, document, return or other statement to the department of revenue in connection with a tax amnesty application under this section shall not be eligible for amnesty and shall be subject to the greater of: (i) the applicable penalties under chapter 62C of the General Laws; or (ii) a penalty not to exceed $10,000 which shall be calculated and assessed according to rules determined by the commissioner and may be subject to de minimis or other exceptions that the commissioner may consider appropriate.
