Bill > HB1978

This bill is the General Appropriation Act of 2025, which allocates funds from the General Fund to various agencies of the Executive Department of Pennsylvania for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026. Specifically, the bill provides funding for salaries, wages, travel expenses, contractual services, equipment purchases, and other operational costs for government agencies. One notable provision is an appropriation of $20,700,000 to the School Safety and Security Fund for targeted grants. The bill includes provisions allowing for expenditures under temporary budget symbols approved by the Office of the Budget to be deducted from corresponding appropriations, and it applies retroactively to July 1, 2025, with an immediate effective date. The legislation is designed to ensure that state agencies have the necessary financial resources to conduct their duties and functions, and to pay any outstanding bills from the previous fiscal year.
