Massachusetts House leaders unveiled a $56.2 billion state budget plan Wednesday that proposes spending on universal school meals, an expanded scholarship program for in-demand jobs, and competitive grants to encourage renewable energy projects in public schools.
The plan also outlines how the state would spend an estimated $1 billion in additional revenue from the new “millionaire’s tax” approved by Massachusetts voters last year.
The $1 billion would be split evenly between education and transportation initiatives.
