$1 MILLION FOR AUTISM (H 4800)

By Bob Katzen

The House 155-2, overrode Gov. Maura Healey’s veto of $1 million (reducing funding from $11 million to $10 million) for contracted support services for families of children with autism.

The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $1 million was eliminated.

“I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “This reduced level reflects anticipated caseload levels and is not expected to have an impact on services.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million. A “No” vote is against it.)
