Governor Healey signed the 2026 Massachusetts budget into law on the 4th of July. The budget invests in older residents and supports the Commonwealth’s 780,000 family caregivers allowing people to age with dignity in their own homes and communities-where they want to. The governor did veto a key proposal that would set up a plan that allows more people to save for retirement.
