House 133-25, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $2.5 million for a prison program to treat prisoners, suffering from serious mental illness, with clinically appropriate long-acting injectable medications.

The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $2.5 million was eliminated.

“I am vetoing this item due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “This operating funding overlaps with alternative funding intended to support this purpose.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $2.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.)
