Policy Priorities
Treasurer Goldberg created a 2025-2026 legislative agenda that is forward-thinking and innovative. Her policy proposals, prepared and filed in collaboration with legislative partners, focus on promoting responsible gun policy, protecting and enhancing Massachusetts’ strong financial standing, addressing the long-term economic needs of working families and retirees, and advocating for equitable access to capital. Highlights from the policy agenda include:
Filed by Treasurer Goldberg, this legislation would expand the CORE Plan, a state-sponsored retirement plan for non-profit employees, to allow non-profits of all sizes to enroll. This was signed into law as part of the state's FY26 budget.
Expanding Retirement Savings Options for Non-Profit Employees
Filed by Treasurer Goldberg, this legislation would require schools to incorporate financial education concepts into their coursework, giving students the knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of our economy. This bill has been passed by the House.
From our Office of Economic Empowerment to our Defined Contribution Plans Division, Treasury works to create an economy where all can thrive, ensuring economic stability at every stage of life.
Creating an Economy for All
This legislation would automatically enroll new state employees in the state’s SMART Plan, a retirement savings plan for public employees, giving them immediate access to retirement planning resources while still allowing the option to opt-out.
Baby Bonds are government investments made on behalf of children from low-income households to support future wealth-building activities, such as buying a home, paying for college or career training, and building a business.
From our Debt and Cash Management Divisions to our Pension Reserves Investment Management, Treasury works to protect and maximize taxpayer dollars.
