Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-39), Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R-41), and Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Scott Martin (R-13) provided an update on the status of the 2024-25 state budget negotiations.
"Our work to complete the 2024-25 state budget continues to progress. We are encouraged by the ongoing dialogue between the Senate, House, and Governor," they stated.
"While it appears clear at this point that we will not have a full budget agreement which could be implemented by June 30, we are hopeful to reach a consensus very soon and avoid any negative impacts on the people of Pennsylvania. The Senate will recess today and return Monday, July 1, at 3 p.m."
The media contacts for further information are Erica Clayton Wright for Sen. Ward, Kate Flessner for Sen. Pittman, and Jason Thompson for Sen. Martin.
