This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania that aims to prohibit the implementation of unfunded education mandates. The proposed amendment adds a new section, 10.1, to Article III, which stipulates that any new education program mandated by statute, regulation, or executive order must include necessary funding for its implementation. Furthermore, it specifies that any program that is not fully funded by the Commonwealth cannot be implemented until the required funds are appropriated.

The resolution outlines the procedure for the proposed constitutional amendment, which includes two passages by the General Assembly and subsequent compliance with advertising requirements as specified in Article XI of the Pennsylvania Constitution. After the second passage, the Secretary of the Commonwealth is tasked with submitting the amendment to the qualified voters during the next general or municipal election.
