This bill amends the Administrative Code of 1929 by introducing a new provision regarding the Commonwealth's budget procedures. Specifically, it states that if the general appropriation bill is not enacted by the constitutional deadline of June 30 in any year, the Commonwealth shall maintain state appropriations at 80% of the amounts specified in the general appropriation act for the most recent fiscal year. This change aims to ensure continuity in funding and operations even in the absence of a new budget.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment. By establishing this provision, the legislation seeks to provide a safeguard for state funding, thereby minimizing disruptions to government services and programs that rely on timely appropriations.
