HB 2735: An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school finances, further providing for limitations on certain unreserved fund balances.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2735 updates the Public School Code of 1949 to restrict school districts from increasing real property taxes unless their projected ending fund balances meet specific limits. The bill establishes a sliding scale where larger districts with higher total budgeted expenditures must maintain lower percentages of committed, assigned, and unassigned funds compared to smaller districts. To ensure compliance, each district that approves a tax increase must submit certification data to the Department of Education by August 15 of each year starting in 2027.

S 5209: PERFORM Act

The PERFORM Act restricts the ability to award bonuses and other performance-based compensation to the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service under specific conditions. These restrictions apply if the Postal Service runs a budget deficit, fails to meet nationwide service targets, receives a negative financial audit opinion, or does not submit a required annual report to Congress. The bill mandates that the Postmaster General provide a detailed report each year outlining compensation paid to senior executives, the metrics used to justify those payments, and data on financial and service performance. Additionally, the Postal Service Inspector General is required to review these annual reports to ensure compliance with the new reporting and compensation rules.
