Legislative pile-up looming at the end of 2026

Thirteen major bills are in play heading into the final eight weeks of the term, but because Massachusetts lawmakers like to lean on wide-reaching omnibus packages, the number of discrete policy decisions numbers several dozen.

All bills listed here are in conference committee except for the FY2027 closeout budget.

The last day of the legislative term is January 5, 2027. Any bills left unresolved when the term ends will expire.
