H 3646 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act establishing the quarterly allocation of Chapter 90 funds for cities and towns

This bill changes how Massachusetts cities and towns receive Chapter 90 road and bridge funding. Starting June 1 each year, the state must pay these funds in quarterly installments (not all at once), with each payment capped at one-fourth of a community's annual allotment. It directly affects all cities and towns that receive Chapter 90 funds for road, bridge, or infrastructure projects. The key change is the shift from annual to quarterly disbursements to improve local cash flow management.
