House and Senate lawmakers delivered a state budget to Governor Deval Patrick on Thursday that loosens a ban on gift-giving from pharmaceutical companies to doctors, tightens rules for welfare recipients, and jettisons some tough provisions designed to crack down on illegal immigrants.

The bill reflects the melding of earlier versions of the budget passed by the House and Senate and will be subject to possible vetoes by Patrick. But in some critical areas, such as immigration, lawmakers appeared to back down from a confrontation with the governor, clearing the way for speedy approval.

The $32.5 billion blueprint for the budget year that begins Sunday includes no new taxes or fees, and reverses some of the cuts most feared by social services advocates. It would keep Taunton State Hospital open with 45 beds, rejecting Patrick’s plan to close the mental health facility and move its patients to a new hospital in Worcester.

It would also provide the first raise in five years for 31,500 direct care workers who assist people with disabilities and who earn less than $40,000 a year. They will get a 1.5 percent to 2 percent raise, a modest bump for workers with starting salaries of about $12 an hour.

“It’s a historic moment that they have been recognized by the Legislature as deserving of this support,” said Michael Weekes, president and chief executive of the Providers’ Council, an association of health and human service agencies that lobbied hard for the $20 million needed to fund the raises.

The budget would restore some dental benefits to 800,000 Medicaid recipients in Massachusetts who lost dental coverage, except for cleanings and extractions, in a budget cut three years ago. The new plan would extend insurance coverage for fillings in the front teeth, but not the back teeth, and not for dentures or crowns.
