Both cited sources are reachable and support the CHAMPIONED outcome for this exact promise, with both quotes verified verbatim. CBS News Boston confirms Massachusetts enacted a ban on renter-paid broker's fees requiring that "Any fee shall only be paid by the party, lessor or tenant who originally engaged and entered into a contract with the licensed broker or salesperson" — precisely the promised outcome (tenants no longer forced to pay for a broker they did not hire), effective Aug. 1, 2025. Critically for the leadership bar, CBS states Healey "proposed the plan in January and signed the budget bill into law," documenting authorship plus enactment, not a mere signature. Boston Agent Magazine confirms she "signed a $60.9 billion budget for the 2026 fiscal year on July 4" that includes the provision eliminating renter-paid broker fees. Because she proposed, drove, and enacted the measure as Governor — executive leadership beyond a vote — CHAMPIONED is warranted over FULL, and the law is already in effect so the outcome is realized, not pending. Confidence held slightly below the fact-checker's 0.97 because the Boston Agent source itself does not attribute the championing role (the leadership evidence rests on the CBS "proposed the plan in January" line), but that single primary attribution is clear and sufficient.
