A Resolution adopting a temporary rule of the Senate relating solely to amendments to the General Appropriation Bill and other appropriation bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, including any amendments offered to or for supplemental appropriations for prior fiscal years.

This Senate resolution establishes temporary rules for the Pennsylvania Senate to manage how budget amendments are handled during the 2026 legislative session. It restricts floor amendments to the state's budget bills to only the second and third readings, ensuring that any proposed spending changes do not increase the total budget unless they are fully offset by reductions elsewhere to maintain a balanced budget. Additionally, the rule requires that multi-bill amendments include a specific statement explaining how they achieve financial balance. These guidelines will remain in effect until the General Appropriation Act for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2026, is officially passed.
