SB 1040 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act authorizing the State Treasurer to waive interest on budgetary impasse investment loans.

SB 1040 allows the State Treasurer to stop charging interest on loans taken by the state during a budget disagreement (budgetary impasse). It directly affects the State Treasurer's office, which would have the authority to waive interest on these specific investment loans. The key provision is the Treasurer's ability to eliminate interest charges on funds borrowed to maintain state operations when a budget isn't approved on time. This bill creates a concrete administrative change to how the state handles short-term borrowing costs during budget standoffs.
