The Massachusetts Senate convened on June 18, 2025, to recognize emerging leaders in energy and environmental issues through a notable internship program hosted by Eversource. Senator Collins introduced a group of interns from various colleges across the Commonwealth, highlighting their commitment to meaningful careers that will benefit the state. The interns, representing institutions such as Boston College, UNH, and Providence College, were acknowledged for their academic achievements and potential contributions to the community.

In addition to the recognition of these interns, the Senate addressed significant legislative matters. A committee of conference reported on House Bill 4010, which pertains to appropriations for the fiscal year 2025. The Senate amended the bill, striking out certain clauses and incorporating the text of Senate Document 2514, which is expected to facilitate funding for various activities and projects across the state.

This session underscores the Senate's commitment to fostering future leaders while also ensuring that essential funding measures are in place to support ongoing initiatives within Massachusetts. As the Senate continues its work, the implications of these decisions will be closely monitored by stakeholders across the Commonwealth.
