Pennsylvania SR82 establishes a temporary rule for Senate amendments to appropriation bills for fiscal year 2025-2026.

Pennsylvania SR82 sets a temporary rule for the Senate regarding amendments to the General Appropriation Bill and other appropriation bills for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025. The rule specifies that floor amendments to these bills can only be in order on second or third consideration. Any amendment must not result in a net increase to total spending and must yield a balanced budget based on current and projected revenues. If an amendment is balanced by changes in other appropriation bills, it must include a "statement of intent" detailing the adjustments.
