A budget deal for Pennsylvania remained out of reach as the Commonwealth entered the new fiscal year beginning July 1st. Governor Josh Shapiro had seemingly reached a deal with the Republican-controlled Senate that included $100 million for a Lifeline Scholarship program. This new program would give up to $15,000 per year in state-funded vouchers to eligible students which could be utilized for tuition at a nonpublic school. While the education fundings was a major goal of House Democrats due to a decision in Commonwealth Court that ruled Pennsylvania’s public education funding system is unconstitutional, the school voucher program presented to them apparently late in the budget process was a non-starter.

 

The Senate did send back to the House an amended version of a General Fund bill (HB 611- see below) reducing the amount earlier approved by the House from $46.9 billion to roughly $45 in spending. HB611 passed 29-21 with Democrat Senator Anthony Williams as the lone Democrat voting with the Republican majority. The Senate also passed other budget related bills and the package includes funding for Level Up PA, Whole Home Repairs, Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program (PTRR), and maintaining the federal disaster emergency for the Interstate 95.

The Senate then recessed until September 18th, despite Governor Shapiro calling for all parties involved to “remain in our State Capitol and work to compromise.”

 

During a press conference, Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman stated, “Let’s face reality: the governor and the House majority are of the same political party. We’ve done our work. We’ve made our priorities clear. We’ve completed our message. We will go home and let them figure out where to go from here.”

The House of Representatives went on 6-hour call and could return as early as July 5th, but it is unclear what they will work on to reach a potential deal with the Senate and Governor.

 

Shapiro said in a statement, “After a dozen years of total Republican control of the Legislature, Senate Republicans need to give more than they’re used to — and after a dozen years in the minority, House Democrats can’t expect to get everything they’ve wanted over the last decade in one budget.”

If/when they go back the negotiating table, a final agreement could include several items, including job recruitment initiatives, cell-phone taxes, permitting reform, voter ID, child care tax credits, lowering of the corporate net income tax, changes to net operating losses and an increase to the minimum wage. The House of Representatives voted to increase the minimum wage. The legislation will increase the rate to $11.00 per hour effective January 1, 2024, $13.00 per by January 1, 2025 and $15.00 per hour effective January 1, 2026, but permanently index it to inflation thereafter. It also increases tipped wages to 60% of the minimum wage. After some heated debate, the bill was passed by only 103-100 before heading to the Senate.

The State House took a big step toward implementing needed legislation to address unsafe and inadequate school facilities that are far too common across Pennsylvania. Sponsored by House Education Committee Chairman Peter Schweyer, HB 1408  passed the House on June 26. House Bill 1408 would enact PlanCon 2.0, legislation that was recommended by the Pennsylvania Public School Building Construction and Reconstruction Advisory Committee, and has not been invested in since 2016.  PSPE Legislative Consultant, John Wanner, served on that committee. PlanCon is a reimbursement program for school construction. This version of PlanCon 2.0 would allow for a more streamlined application process, an updated reimbursement formula and an incentive for high-performance building standards.

“Our children deserve to learn in healthy and safe environments,” State Rep. MaryLouise Isaacson (D-Phila.), a cosponsor of the legislation, said. “They cannot be expected to fully absorb their lessons when they are studying inside buildings filled with toxic lead and asbestos. I have been in classrooms in which it literally rains inside when it pours outside, and this legislation will go a long way towards addressing these facility issues. I have advocated since taking office to fund our facilities and it feels so incredible to see this legislation actually move.”

Isaacson praised her co-prime sponsors for their support in drafting and advancing this important legislation.

The bill passed 142-61 and now moves to the Senate for concurrence.

As reported last month, House Bill 565, introduced by Representative David Zimmerman (R-Lancaster), passed the House Professional Licensure committee unanimously on June 7, and was referred, as most bills coming out of committee in the House in June do, to the House Rules Committee. In the meantime, the Senate has not acted on the Senate Bill 403, sponsored by Sen. Lisa Baker, which is a more comprehensive set of amendments to the Registration Act supported by PSPE. While either bill could be voted on in September, it appears more likely that Senate Bill 403 has the better chance of receiving action first.
