\t\t\"Statement\t\t<\/p>\n

HARRISBURG\u00a0\u2013 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) issued the following statement today on completion of the 2026-27 state budget:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week, we have received the necessary clarity on many outstanding issues which were delaying completion of this year\u2019s budget. Presently, we believe we are well on our way to effectuating a full budget agreement in the days following July 4th. At the conclusion of session today, the Senate will recess to the call of the President Pro Tempore and will reconvene once final budgetary language is ready to advance.\u201d<\/p>\n
