Massachusetts Bills

Senate, August 14, 2025 -- The committee on Public Service to whom was referred the petition (accompanied by bill, Senate, No. 2584) (subject to Joint Rule 12) of Patrick M. O'Connor for legislation to establish a sick leave bank for Irene O'Rourke, employee of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, report the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2586).

This bill is a routine administrative communication from the Comptroller's Office, not a new policy. It formally submits the report on capital gains tax revenue collected during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 for transfer to three specific state funds: the Stabilization Fund, State Retiree Trust Fund, and Pension Liability Fund. The bill does not change tax rates or create new obligations; it simply documents the existing process for moving revenue that has already been collected. It affects no individuals or entities beyond the standard state financial reporting procedures.
