Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Debate: Senate GOP Caucus Budget Priority Amendments
Tomorrow, May 20th, the Massachusetts Senate begins consideration of the 1058 amendments which have been filed for the $61.33 billion FY26 Budget Proposal of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.
The Senate Republican Caucus has filed 262 targeted amendments to address major issues affecting Massachusetts.
These include:
1.) Transparency and Accountability
2.) Fair and Equitable Education Funding
3.) Health Care Costs
4.) Energy Costs
5.) Competitiveness
The FY26 budget proposal is a good starting point; however, the state’s annual budget must do more than allocate funding. It must set a long-term course that strengthens the Commonwealth’s foundation for growth, opportunity, and fiscal responsibility.
Please see the Senate GOP Caucus’ key FY26 budget priorities in the following video.
