November 12, 2025 - Harrisburg, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro signed into law a FY2025-26 budget that delivers real results for the people of Pennsylvania - building on two years of progress, tackling Pennsylvania's most pressing challenges, and continuing to fuel the Commonwealth's rise. The Governor's remarks as prepared for the 2025-26 budget signing ceremony can be found here.Throughout months of negotiations, Governor Shapiro stood up for Pennsylvanians and stayed at the table to secure a budget that solves problems facing our Commonwealth and delivers results. The $50.1 billion budget is balanced, cuts taxes, and maintains nearly $8 billion in the Rainy Day Fund at the end of this fiscal year. The budget also builds on two years of progress under the Shapiro Administration - making historic reforms to address long-standing challenges and make Pennsylvania more competitive for workers and businesses."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 Governor Shapiro. "In a divided legislature, we proved once again that Democrats and Republicans can come together to get stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania - cutting taxes, investing in education and workforce development, supporting law enforcement and reducing crime, and keeping our economy growing. Since my first day in office, I've been focused on solving the most pressing problems we face by bringing people together and getting stuff done - this budget continues that progress and will speed our rise."
