This bill amends the Administrative Code of 1929 by introducing a new provision regarding state appropriations in the event that a general appropriation bill is not enacted by the constitutional deadline of June 30 each year. Specifically, it mandates that if the appropriation bill is not passed by this deadline, the Commonwealth will maintain state appropriations at 80% of the amounts specified in the general appropriation act for the most recent fiscal year.

The intent of this amendment is to ensure continuity of funding for state operations even in the absence of a new budget, thereby providing a safeguard against potential disruptions in state services. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment.
