SR321

Pennsylvania SR321 establishes a temporary rule for Senate amendments to appropriation bills for fiscal year 2026.

Pennsylvania SR321 adopts a temporary rule for the Senate to manage amendments to appropriation bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and for prior fiscal years. The rule restricts floor amendments to the General Appropriation Bill or other appropriation bills to second or third consideration only. It mandates that any amendment to these bills must include a "statement of intent" detailing the proposed adjustments to ensure no net increase in spending. The rule can be temporarily suspended if the amendment does not increase total spending and maintains a balanced budget.
