This bill makes appropriations for fiscal year 2015 to supplement existing funds and cover other expenses, allocating specific amounts to various government entities including the Committee for Public Counsel Services, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and several executive offices like Administration and Finance, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Economic Development, with additional funds designated for unanticipated obligations such as winter storm relief and salary adjustments for University of Massachusetts employees. It also amends several laws, including those related to the licensing of individuals who may have direct contact with firearms, the approval of tuition rates at the University of Massachusetts, the definition of public institutions of higher education, and the establishment of a statewide grand jury system, while also updating references to the "COMPASS system" to "COMMBUYS system" for state procurement and making various other technical changes to existing statutes.
