HB 2027 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in general budget implementation, further providing for executive offices.

HB 2027 creates a new "Public Sector Workplace Safety Equipment Account" within Pennsylvania's General Fund to purchase safety equipment for state employees in high-risk jobs. It directs the Secretary of the Budget to transfer up to $3.8 million in unspent funds from previous years (for agencies under the Governor's jurisdiction) to this account by October 1, 2025. The funds will specifically cover lift kits for healthcare workers handling patients and postural support devices for construction workers, targeting state agencies operating nursing facilities, disability care facilities, and highway construction projects. The bill requires transparency through public notices and committee notifications before any transfer occurs.
