On climate and energy, Healy said recently passed climate legislation accelerates permitting to build infrastructure needed for more solar power and other clean energy projects, and she thanked labor leaders for partnership on implementation. She framed the combined investments in AI and climate tech as part of an economic strategy to grow jobs across the state and power new labs, data centers and manufacturing.

Healey noted recent health care steps: a newly signed law capping certain prescription out‑of‑pocket costs at $25 per month, expanded coverage for roughly 60,000 people and state action to remove Steward Health Care from a role affecting several hospitals.

Healy said that, because of actions by the administration and partners, the state \"saved six hospitals, protected 13,000 jobs\" and strengthened market stability. She also said last year the administration added about 60,000 people to affordable health coverage and highlighted new services covered by insurance, including midwives, birthing centers and recovery coaches.

On prescription costs, Healy said she signed a law last week to limit monthly out‑of‑pocket costs for certain medicines to $25. She framed the move as reducing financial stress for patients who need insulin, inhalers and other essential medications.

The governor also argued for shifting health resources to primary care to improve access and reduce overall costs, saying she will direct the administration to prioritize front‑line primary care.","Governor Healy highlighted a recent law capping some prescription out‑of‑pocket costs at $25 a month, said the administration expanded coverage to 60,000 residents, and credited state action with protecting hospitals and jobs amid Steward Health Care's exit.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6383069,"Healy: 'We passed the Affordable Homes Act' and will press to ban tenant broker fees",111,5140000,5251000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125349-3bd6fb23d148e58f3457c25245a1360f&start=5140&end=5251","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125349-3bd6fb23d148e58f3457c25245a1360f/thumbnail_5140000.jpg","/articles/6383069/Massachusetts/Healy-We-passed-the-Affordable-Homes-Act-and-will-press-to-ban-tenant-broker-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6383069-d98e55764073da06a7116aefe38f94b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146723&Signature=kqR6s~olZF9B7-1zoesEzzRmmD86663G7cw1QNecBAWgIWLTSqkplN67mDAWCtzCZWVl73BMni-YTe5G6xHOf6I8N6tfL4ZTVrAz-F4RtZ~7jD3OBbXDne57RecuoAAajzdA84Tf8KRWn1CL8RFprfpnFgIrRSD6as~YXo5Yo0C4vhd9rOAJbicZqtbrmAuyj5XQGapSzuwxBys2PT81hmmzfPwEPnOhHAsHNc0bZav3iFYqd-RoPJRUp3fJNugpvM~0XXdyY5rHFv1KRJBnQZkNZN1vUxmRJWUtAapW2SrhxVs9~OzZrjxOGqq7Ke~Kmf8G9BhkGCuW0vIaC5VY2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BOSTON — Governor Maura T. Healey told lawmakers Tuesday that implementation of the Affordable Homes Act will be a top priority and called for an end to broker fees charged to renters.

Healy said the Affordable Homes Act, which she described as a $5,000,000,000 act, is intended to create \"tens of thousands of affordable homes\" and that more than 116 towns have agreed to zoning changes near transit under the MBTA Communities Act, putting thousands of homes into the pipeline.

On renters, Healy said the practice of requiring an average broker fee before moving in is unfair and proposed legislation to \"abolish tenant broker fees in Massachusetts.\" She cited the average upfront cost to renters as a barrier to saving for a down payment and called the fee \"not right.\"

The governor said the administration will lean into implementation of the housing law and work with municipalities and the Legislature to build more homes and increase homeownership. She did not announce specific statutory language for the broker‑fee ban; enactment would require the Legislature to pass a bill.","Governor Maura T.

Healey proposed a $8 billion investment over 10 years Tuesday to repair bridges and roads, close the MBTA's budget gap and expand transit service across Massachusetts.

Healy said the plan would fund major projects and give towns more money to fix local streets and sidewalks. \"Our plan is to invest $8,000,000,000 over the next 10 years to make transportation in every corner of our state more secure, more safe, more reliable,\" she told the joint convention.

The governor credited recent federal grants and hiring at the MBTA with ending slow zones and speeding repairs. She highlighted station upgrades at Ruggles and Roxbury and new commuter‑rail platforms at several locations, and said the plan would fund smaller local bridge repairs such as the I‑391 viaduct in Chicopee and Commercial Street in East Weymouth.

Healy said the administration will not finance the plan with new taxes and described it as a combination of smarter management and federal funding. She also said regional bus systems from the Berkshires to Cape Ann have been made fare‑free and that South Coast Rail service will begin this spring to Taunton, Fall River and New Bedford.

No formal vote or legislative action occurred at the joint convention; the governor said the administration will submit budget requests to support the plan.","Governor Maura T.

Healey told a joint convention of the Massachusetts Legislature that the state is \"strong\" and set out an agenda prioritizing transportation, housing, health care, workforce development and technology.

In a roughly hour‑long address Tuesday evening, Governor Maura T. Healey, governor of the Commonwealth, highlighted completed action since taking office and new proposals, including a proposed $8 billion, 10‑year transportation investment; implementation of the Affordable Homes Act; an insulin and essential‑medicines out‑of‑pocket cap; investments in artificial intelligence research; and a proposal to ban broker fees for renters.

The governor said the administration has delivered tax relief, expanded child care funding and increased housing production while bringing federal dollars to the state. She framed the agenda as focused on lowering costs for families, improving infrastructure and keeping Massachusetts competitive economically.

Healy praised recently completed legislation and executive actions: tax cuts that return money to seniors and families, a $1.5 billion state replacement of federal childcare funding, expansion of affordable‑housing programs, and a new limit on monthly out‑of‑pocket costs for certain medicines. She also announced plans to implement recently passed laws and to press the Legislature on new policy, including ending broker fees charged to renters and creating a statewide graduation‑requirement council for high schools.

The governor described the state's fiscal position as strong, noting low unemployment, a high median household income and a healthy rainy day fund, and said the administration will submit a budget prioritizing efficiency and implementation of recent laws. She urged coordination with the incoming federal administration on issues that require federal action, including immigration and border policy.

Healy opened and closed her remarks with appeals to public service and cooperation; she invoked Massachusetts' historical role and said the state should lead on clean energy, AI and workforce development. The address included recognition of returning National Guard members and Nobel laureates with Massachusetts ties.

The speech contained a mix of retrospective accomplishments and forward‑looking program and budget directions for fiscal year work and implementation over the next year.","In her State of the Commonwealth address, Governor Maura T. Healey said the commonwealth is 'strong' and laid out multi‑year plans to invest in transportation, build affordable housing, cap prescription costs and expand technology and clean‑energy investments.","actionData","errors"]
