193rd Legislative Session Opens; Healey Administration
Begins at 12:00 p.m.
|
|
The 2023-2024 Legislative
Session officially began yesterday at 11:00 a.m. State Representative
Ronald Mariano of Quincy was reelected to another term as House
Speaker and State Senator Karen Spilka of Ashland was reelected to
another term as Senate President.
Maura Healey will be sworn in as the next Massachusetts Governor at
12:00 p.m. today alongside Kim Driscoll, the next Lieutenant
Governor.
The start of the new session will be busy with a flurry of bills
being filed over the next few weeks. Governor Healey has stated her
intentions to focus on various tax policies early on in this session,
particularly those proposed by former Governor Baker in his tax
relief package last year.
MassCPAs has been in contact with Governor Healey’s team, the Legislature and
business community partners to advocate for such tax policies and
will continue our efforts in the months ahead.
