The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
_______________
In the One Hundred and Ninety-Third General Court
(2023-2024)
_______________
An Act providing for the terms of certain bonds to be issued by the Commonwealth.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to
provide for the terms of certain bonds to be issued by the commonwealth, therefore it is hereby
declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority
of the same, as follows:
1 Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the bonds that the state
2treasurer may issue pursuant to section 11 of chapter 89 of the acts of 2024 shall be issued for a
3term not to exceed 30 years. All such bonds shall be payable not later than June 30, 2059, as
4recommended by the governor in a message to the general court dated May 9, 2024 under section
53 of Article LXII of the Amendments to the Constitution.
