The House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $250,000 for a competitive grant program to school districts to support the implementation of financial literacy standards for students in kindergarten through grade 12.

The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $250,000 was eliminated.

“I am vetoing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “Other sources of funding for financial literacy appropriated in this budget will mitigate the effects of this veto.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.)
