The General Appropriation Act of 2025 outlines the financial allocations from the General Fund for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It details appropriations for the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Departments, public debt, and public schools, while also addressing unpaid bills from the previous fiscal year. The bill specifies funding for various departments, including significant allocations for welfare fraud investigations, public safety initiatives, education, and community support programs. Notably, it includes provisions for federal appropriations to enhance state funding in areas such as drug law enforcement and economic development.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the management of federal funds, allowing for the transfer of funds between federal appropriations without further approval from the General Assembly and requiring quarterly reporting to the Appropriations Committees. It establishes that any appropriations similar to those in the General Appropriation Act of 2024 will replace previous allocations, ensuring a streamlined approach to funding. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later, reflecting a comprehensive strategy to support essential services and initiatives across Pennsylvania.
