Summary:
The committee met on January 23, 2026, to approve prior minutes and receive an update from the Department of Health and Human Services. The main presentation focused on “Project Compass,” an internal cross-department effort to prepare for changes to Medicaid and SNAP eligibility. Department staff said the goal is to maintain continuous coverage for eligible people, align policy, operations, communications, legal, finance, and eligibility work, and use the new integrated New HEIGHTS system to streamline implementation. They emphasized outreach to beneficiaries, providers, managed care organizations, and other partners, and said temporary manual workarounds had already been used to stay in compliance with fast-moving SNAP changes.
Members questioned how the department would avoid repeating the costly outreach effort used in a prior Medicaid work-requirement rollout. Department officials said they are focusing on ex parte processes, sharing eligibility information across programs, and using community partners to reduce duplicate contacts and paperwork. They also said the department is monitoring the SNAP error rate closely, expects automation and a planned system contract amendment to help reduce it, and noted that current error rates are trending downward and remain below the national average. Questions were also raised about possible future SNAP restrictions on certain foods; the department said it can implement whatever the legislature directs, but that defining and administering such restrictions would be complex.
The commissioner and CFO then outlined the department’s budget reduction plan. They said the department has begun implementing required “back of the budget” reductions for fiscal year 2026, using contract savings and not cutting existing services where possible. Examples included dental and home-visitation contracts, where spending was adjusted based on utilization and projected need. Officials said they had already written down a little over $15 million in prior-year encumbrances, but that this one-time source will not be available next year, making fiscal year 2027 more difficult. They also explained the difference between legally required back-of-budget cuts and lapse, and said staffing remains a major challenge because vacancies have increased and customer-facing service levels are strained.
Dr. Jonathan Ballard then began an update on opioid overdose fatalities, presenting the latest medical examiner data and describing the long-term rise in deaths after fentanyl entered the illicit drug supply, with a peak in 2017 and a later increase in 2022. The transcript cuts off before his full presentation and any further committee action beyond discussion of the minutes and receipt of the department updates.

Summary:
The committee met briefly to discuss how to use available funding and to clarify priorities after a recent JFAC action removed funding from one program. Senator Kevin Cook was invited to outline several behavioral health and Medicaid-related options, emphasizing that he was not lobbying but providing cost and program information. The main programs discussed were assertive community treatment (ACT), adult peer support services, and Healthy Connections. Cook described ACT as an evidence-based team service for people with severe mental illness, peer support as a trained recovery-based support model, and Healthy Connections as a statutory program that had ended due to legislation rather than a department decision.
Department of Health and Welfare Medicaid administrator Sasha O’Connell explained that ACT had been cut under the governor’s holdback direction and that the department had already pursued rate reductions and other cuts to meet budget targets. She said ACT and peer supports were not protected in statute, while some other services were, and that the department had limited options once it reached the point of service reductions. She also clarified federal match rates for ACT participants and said the program had been moved into the Magellan contract to leverage federal funding. Estimated costs to restore the programs were discussed, including about $1.3 million for ACT in fiscal year 2026 and $4.1 million in fiscal year 2027, $2 million and $6 million for peer support, and $1.5 million and $6.3 million for Healthy Connections.
Several members expressed support for restoring ACT, citing its impact on law enforcement, hospitals, and vulnerable individuals, and noting reported deaths among former participants after the service ended. Others questioned how the program fit within the committee’s mission and whether it should be funded from the Millennium Fund or through a statutory change. No final vote was taken; the chair said the committee would consider the information, possibly meet again, and then decide on next steps.

Summary:
The Ways and Means Committee held its last scheduled public hearing of the year on March 9, 2026, taking testimony on House Bill 2487, Substitute House Bill 2689, and Engrossed House Bill 2681. For HB 2487, staff and the Department of Revenue explained that the bill would narrow a B&O tax exemption for insurance-related businesses after a 2024 Supreme Court decision, make several related changes including annuity and assigned risk plan exemptions, adjust the advanced computing surcharge threshold for certain affiliated groups, and allow a penalties-and-interest waiver with a repayment plan. DOR supported the bill as clarifying the original intent and preventing double taxation, while insurers and health plan groups opposed it, arguing it would create higher costs, retroactive tax liability, and uncertainty; consumer and policy groups testified in support, saying it closes a loophole and restores the intended tax structure. Committee members questioned the retroactivity, the number of affected businesses, and the fiscal estimates, and the chair reminded members that amendment requests were due by noon for the next day’s executive session.
For Substitute HB 2689, staff described changes to the Working Connections Child Care program that would keep income eligibility at 60% of state median income, reduce future rate-setting from the 85th to the 75th percentile, block enhanced rates for certain cross-region providers, cancel the planned move to enrollment-based prospective payments, revise attendance-based reimbursement to a full month for absences of 10 days or fewer and half-month for longer absences, and require a 65% market survey response rate for validity. The fiscal note projected substantial savings, offset by implementation and staffing costs. SEIU 925 and Head Start representatives supported the simpler House approach to attendance billing but raised concerns about the new survey threshold and the risk of increased audits and provider burden; they also noted an amendment under discussion to address the 2026 survey issue. Committee questions focused on how a full month is defined under the attendance rules.
For HB 2681, staff said the bill would raise annual issuance and renewal fees for cannabis producer, processor, and retail licenses by $400, generating about $866,000 per year for the dedicated cannabis account with minimal administrative cost. No one signed up to testify, and the chair closed the hearing without a vote on any of the bills. The chair also thanked committee staff for their work and reiterated that amendments for the heard bills were due by noon that day.

- We're not defining a specific type of health care and alternative health care.
Summary:
The Health and Welfare Committee approved the February 13 minutes and then considered three RS drafts. RS 33263, by Rep. Dori Healy, would require annual reporting of dental loss ratios to increase transparency in dental insurance; it was introduced without objection. RS 33042, by Rep. Lucas Kaler, would narrow the definition of medical neglect and create private causes of action for knowingly false reports involving children and vulnerable adults. Members raised concerns that the language could discourage reporting, be too broad regarding alternative care, and create a “get-out-of-jail-free” effect if a parent eventually sought care. After extended discussion, the committee took a roll call vote and the motion to introduce RS 33042 failed on a 7-7 tie.
The committee then heard RS 33328 from Rep. John Vander Wada, addressing SNAP administration and related state costs under new federal guidance. He said the proposal would codify current practices and tighten administration, noting the state now bears a larger share of administrative costs. The committee moved to introduce the RS, and it passed by voice vote. The meeting then adjourned, with members noting there was no meeting scheduled for the next day.

Committee:
Joint Joint Committee on Public Service
Summary:
The Joint Committee on Public Service heard testimony on a wide range of retirement classification and benefit bills affecting municipal and state employees. Much of the hearing focused on proposals to move various workers from Group 1 to Group 2 or Group 4, including municipal building officials (H. 2776), MassDOT highway workers (H. 2908/Sousa’s Law), DCF attorneys (H. 2771), probation officers, licensed electricians, drinking water operators (H. 3000/S. 1834), MWRA non-clerical workers (S. 1803), transitional parole officers (H. 2878), Plymouth BCI criminal investigator officers (H. 2975/S. 1863), Beverly fire alarm operators/public safety telecommunicators (S. 1876), Massport pipefitters and refrigeration technicians (H. 2788/S. 1829), and other public safety or hazardous-duty classifications. Witnesses generally argued that their work is physically dangerous, understaffed, or comparable to already higher-classified employees, and several said the changes would help recruitment and retention with little fiscal impact because the affected groups are small.
The committee also heard testimony on H. 4508, a home rule petition to grant a disability pension to Boston principal Patricia Lampron. Supporters, including Representative Dan Hunt, Boston city councilors, and Lampron herself, described a severe 2021 assault at the Henderson Inclusion School that left her with lasting physical and psychological injuries and forced her into early retirement. They urged the committee to advance the bill quickly. One witness, Pamela McLaughlin, testified in opposition, arguing the bill would set the wrong precedent and describing alleged prior misconduct by Lampron, and asked that the bill be sent to study.
Several witnesses and committee members asked brief questions, mainly about the scope of the bills, whether certain workers were already in higher groups, and the fiscal or precedent concerns. No votes were taken during the hearing. At the end, the chairs announced that testimony was complete, asked whether anyone else wished to speak, and then the committee voted to adjourn.
