HARRISBURG, Pa. (WPVI) — Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the state’s overdue 2026-2027 budget on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The $50.8 billion spending plan was passed by state lawmakers with bipartisan support.<\/p>\n
It is smaller than Shapiro’s initial $53 billion plan proposed back in February.<\/p>\n
“We managed, as the math indicates, to find compromise without compromising our core values,” said Shapiro. “If you go back and look at the goals we all set together way back in 2023 – funding our schools, making our communities safer, growing our economy….four years later, this budget reflects those continued priorities.”<\/p>\n
Lawmakers say this spending plan expands workforce development initiatives, devotes significant new funding for basic education, and increases funding for special education and early intervention services.<\/p>\n
