On April 16th, 2026, the Healey-Driscoll administration filed an economic development bill, titled An Act Relative to Massachusetts Winning Global Investment, Talent, and Innovation, or the Mass Wins Act. The bill includes $305 million in capital authorizations and 120 outside policy sections. According to the administration, the bill has several themes: enhancing Massachusetts’ competitiveness, reducing barriers and streamlining housing production efforts, and coordinating the state’s climatetech investments. MTF has prepared a comprehensive summary of the capital authorizations and policy proposals, which includes the following materials:
• A review of the last economic development bill, the Mass Leads Act (Chapter 238 of the Acts of 2024);
• A comparison of Mass Wins to previous economic development bills, and an overview of notable capital authorizations and policy proposals in Mass Wins; and
• A detailed section-by-section analysis of how each policy proposal amends existing Massachusetts General Law (MGL) or session law to support the state’s economic development.
