BREAKING NEWS: Pa. Legislature Completes Short Term Budget, Sends Other Priorities to Gov. Wolf
|
|
The short term budget also allows state officials to grapple with permanently lost revenues and a significant budget shortfall, which the state’s Independent Fiscal Office
estimates could reach nearly $5 billion through June 2021.
The General Assembly also passed several measures that often accompany the budget bill, referred to as the "code bills." Changes to the state's Fiscal, Administrative, Liquor, and Public School codes were all approved by the General Assembly and sent to the governor for his signature. Over the next few days,
Capitol Buzz will provide more details on the important changes made to the state's "code bills."
Legislators completed their work on the temporary budget just a few days before the state's June 2 primary election, which will be held on Tuesday. It is anticipated that the General Assembly will return to session sometime over the summer to begin to work toward a plan to fund the remainder of the 2020-2021 budget.
