Governor’s annual fiscal 2026 budget message filed and referred to Ways and Means
Summary
A message from the Governor submitting the Commonwealth’s fiscal-year 2026 annual budget (beginning 07/01/2026) and supplemental appropriation requests was filed on Jan. 28 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for review.
A message from the Governor submitting the Commonwealth’s annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and requests for supplemental appropriations was filed in the Office of the Clerk on Jan. 28, Speaker 2 announced during the House session.
Speaker 2 said the governor’s annual budget materials were referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The referral means the committee will examine the administration’s spending proposals and any supplemental requests before the House considers appropriation bills.
The transcript records the filing date (Jan. 28) and the referral to Ways and Means but does not include a dollar total for the budget or details of specific line items. Those details were not specified in the House record and will come when the committee posts the budget bill and its accompanying materials for review.
The House took the referral as a routine procedural step; no floor debate about budget substance appears in the session record.
