First Look: The Conference Budget
This morning, the House and Senate accepted the work of the Conference Committee and passed a budget for FY 2013. MassBudget's First Look provides a preliminary analysis of the key decisions that were made in conference. Among them:
  • A significant increase in the reimbursement rate for high-need special education costs.
  • Funding for MassHealth and other health coverage programs which is slightly higher than both the Senate and House versions.
  • A Senate-initiated proposal to increase the wages of private human services providers earning less than $40,000 per year.
This "First Look" offers an overview of the Conference Budget. Our more comprehensive Budget Monitor will be available in the coming days.
