The General Appropriation Act of 2025 outlines the financial allocations from the General Fund for the fiscal year spanning July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It encompasses funding for the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Departments of the Commonwealth, public debt, and public schools, while also addressing unpaid bills from the previous fiscal year. The bill specifies appropriations from special funds and federal sources, ensuring that necessary resources are allocated for government operations and services. Key provisions include definitions of terms used in the act and specific funding allocations for various departments, including significant amounts for welfare fraud investigations, law enforcement, education, and health services.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the management of federal funds, establishing that any appropriations similar to those in the General Appropriation Act of 2024 will replace existing appropriations. It mandates that federal funds be encumbered or spent only if they are estimated to be available during the fiscal year and allows for the appropriation of prior unspent federal funds. The act also outlines guidelines for utilizing emergency federal funds and facilitates the transfer of funds between federal appropriations without further legislative approval. Overall, the bill aims to ensure effective funding and management of state resources across various sectors, with a focus on compliance with existing laws and the efficient operation of government services.
