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.
