After 135 days, Pennsylvania finally has a state budget for fiscal year 2025-26.

Gov. Josh Shapiro signed into law a $50.1B spending bill on Tuesday, after the Democratic-controlled State House and the Republican-majority State Senate both agreed to the plan.

"Pennsylvania is on the rise, and this budget continues our progress, solving problems that Harrisburg has ignored for years, creating more opportunity for our students, workers, and businesses, and putting the Commonwealth on a path to sustained growth," said Shapiro.

The House passed the measure by a 156-47 vote, while the Senate did the same by a 40-9 count.
