Summary:
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee first considered the gubernatorial reappointment of Clayton Steele to the Board of Environmental Quality. Steele described his background in environmental work at DEQ and Clearwater Paper, his experience with air quality and rulemaking, and said he brings a balance of public- and private-sector perspectives to the board. Senators asked about major challenges, including a contested case involving Perpetua, and whether his employment created any conflicts of interest; Steele said he had not encountered conflicts. The committee thanked him and indicated the vote on his reappointment would likely occur at the next meeting.
The committee then received a Legislative Services Office presentation on the Department of Health and Welfare budget, with emphasis on non-Medicaid programs. LSO analysts reviewed the department’s staffing, expenditures, and the state budget process, then outlined FY 2027 requests. Highlights included no-change maintenance budgets for Youth Safety and Permanency, Licensing and Certification, Substance Abuse Services, and the independent councils; a $16 million one-time federal request for Idaho Child Care Program capacity plus ongoing staffing for program integrity; a $600,000 ongoing general fund request for court-ordered evaluation and treatment; $180,000 for the Kinship Navigation Grant; $4.2 million for the Idaho Home Visiting Program; and a larger ongoing dedicated-fund request for the Immunization Assessment Fund, along with ARPA grant funding scheduled to sunset.
Members asked several questions about the Home Visiting Program, including the source of the $1 million general fund transfer and whether it was being counted toward the department’s 3% holdback. The chair explained the program’s history as a prevention effort and expressed concern about the department’s treatment of the pass-through funds. The presentation also covered Division of Welfare requests tied to H.R. 1, including a $4.3 million general fund shift for SNAP administration, $1.8 million for Medicaid expansion work requirements, and a one-time $1.9 million eligibility system change. Mental health and psychiatric hospitalization budgets were noted as decreasing on the general fund side while relying more on dedicated endowment funds.
Finally, LSO outlined the Rural Health Transformation Program, a new federal grant under H.R. 1. Idaho received $925 million over five years, with an initial $185.9 million award, and the governor recommended a FY 2026 supplemental and FY 2027 enhancement to begin implementation, including 12 limited-service FTPs, $1.3 million ongoing personnel costs, and $294 million one-time for program activities. Senators asked about allowable uses, timelines, tribal participation, and oversight, and the chair noted additional legislative proposals would be coming. The committee adjourned after indicating it would meet again the next day.

Summary:
The Joint Committee on Racial Equity, Civil Rights, and Inclusion held an informational hearing on “Protecting Equity in Higher Education” and emphasized that no bills were being heard. Members and witnesses focused on the effects of recent federal actions on DEI, admissions, financial aid, student loans, international students, and campus equity efforts in Massachusetts. Opening remarks from the co-chairs and the chair of Higher Education highlighted Massachusetts’ investments in free community college, expanded financial aid, and early college programs, while warning that federal policy changes could undermine those gains.
Testimony from BU law professor Jonathan Feingold argued that many DEI practices remain legally defensible after Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, and that the decision did not end all race-conscious or equity-oriented efforts. He said the Trump administration’s anti-DEI actions and funding threats were legally suspect and had created confusion and a chilling effect. Bahar Akman-in-Boden of the Hildreth Institute testified that proposed federal cuts to TRIO, Gear Up, Pell Grants, SEOG, work-study, and student loan programs would disproportionately harm low-income, first-generation, Black, Latino, and other underserved students, and urged the state to prepare hold-harmless and advising supports using Fair Share revenue.
Commissioner Noe Ortega described Massachusetts’ long history of equity in higher education and said the state has expanded aid, success programs, and early college, but still has work to do on attainment and completion. He said the state responded to SFFA by creating ACARE and continuing to defend equity practices, while also warning that federal disruptions and “dear colleague” letters have created uncertainty. In the second panel, state university leaders and campus officials said federal threats to Pell, DEI grants, Medicaid, and international student policies could affect access, campus operations, and the economy; they stressed that most state university graduates stay in Massachusetts and that institutions are continuing their equity practices despite federal pressure. Roxbury Community College’s president said RCC remains committed to open access and inclusion, noted enrollment growth, and said executive orders do not change existing law or the college’s obligations.
