An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in Commonwealth budget procedures, providing for general appropriation bill.
SB 789 amends Pennsylvania's 1929 Administrative Code to address budget deadlines. If the state's general appropriation bill isn't passed by June 30, the bill requires the Commonwealth to maintain state funding at 80% of the previous fiscal year's approved amounts. This provision directly affects Pennsylvania's state budget operations and ensures continued funding for state programs during budget delays. The rule takes effect 60 days after enactment, providing a concrete safeguard for ongoing government services.
