The bill outlines the inaugural annual report on the activities of the Disaster Relief and Resiliency Fund (the Fund) for the calendar year 2025, established under Section 2HHHHHH of Chapter 29 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The Fund serves as a non-budgeted special revenue source aimed at providing assistance to communities, residents, businesses, and nonprofit organizations affected by natural or catastrophic events. The report indicates that no expenditures were made from the Fund during 2025, as it received an initial transfer of $14,000,000 but did not encounter any qualifying disasters that would activate the Fund.

The report details that the Fund's total income for 2025 was solely from the initial transfer, with no additional revenue deposited. As a result, no programs have been launched, and the application approval and submission process has not yet been activated. The Executive Office for Administration and Finance plans to continue developing the necessary regulations and procedures to ensure the Fund can be effectively utilized in response to future catastrophic events, aligning with statutory requirements and existing processes.
