The Capital Budget Project Itemization Act of 2026-2027 establishes a financial framework for public improvement projects in Pennsylvania, authorizing approximately $32.3 billion for various initiatives, including $917 million for furniture and equipment and $2.6 billion for transportation assistance. The bill allows for financing through debt without voter approval and emphasizes the use of current revenue for these projects, which include flood control, infrastructure upgrades, and enhancements to state correctional institutions and educational facilities. Notable allocations include over $500 million for correctional facilities and more than $2 billion for projects at the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State University, focusing on modernizing facilities to meet current building codes and accessibility standards.

Additionally, the bill outlines significant funding for various infrastructure improvements across multiple counties, including the construction and renovation of maintenance facilities, driver licensing centers, and historical sites. It specifies project allocations for security upgrades, fire protection systems, and the construction of new facilities, with total project allocations exceeding $1.5 billion. The bill also includes provisions for the Governor, Auditor General, and State Treasurer to borrow funds for these projects, with a maximum debt term of 30 years. Furthermore, it allows for editorial changes to ensure accuracy in project details and grants the Department of General Services the authority to delegate project design and construction to specific universities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
