Governor Signs PA Budget Bill

Governor Josh Shapiro signed into law a commonsense, bipartisan budget for fiscal year 2023-24 that delivers on his top priorities to create a stronger economy, safer and healthier communities, and better schools. This budget makes historic investments in Pennsylvania children's education, supports businesses and speeds up permitting, helps older adults stay in their homes, protects and strengthens communities, and ensures law enforcement and first responders have the resources they need. AUGUST 03, 2023 - HARRISBURG, PA



Pennsylvania finally has a budget – or at least the beginnings of one.

Senate leaders returned yesterday to officially transmit the budget to Governor Josh Shapiro, who then signed it into law.

Shapiro also made good on his promise to House Democrats to line-item veto funding for a private school voucher program, which led to the Senate’s refusal to finalize the process for over a month.

However, parts of the budget debate will continue as there are still a number of spending authorization bills that need to be drafted and voted on.
