The annual report of the Executive Office for Administration and Finance (under Section 2HHHHHH(d) of Chapter 29 of the General Laws) submitting the inaugural report on the activities of the Disaster Relief and Resiliency Fund for calendar year 2025
This is not a new bill but the required inaugural annual report for Massachusetts' Disaster Relief and Resiliency Fund, submitted as mandated by Section 2HHHHHH(d) of Chapter 29. The report details that the fund received $14 million in 2025 from the state's FY25 surplus but made no expenditures, as no qualifying disasters occurred after the fund's initial transfer. It outlines the fund's structure - established in 2024 to provide flexible state assistance for communities affected by natural or catastrophic events like floods, storms, or wildfires - with unspent balances rolling over to future years. The report confirms no programs were activated in 2025, as the fund was only funded late in the year and no disasters met the eligibility criteria.
