State Rep. Ryan Warner, R-Fayette, announced April 23 that he was reintroducing a bill aimed at keeping state budget spending in check.
House Bill 1316 proposes an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would establish state budget spending limits that the commonwealth—and lawmakers—would have to abide by each fiscal year. Warner called the measure the “Taxpayer Protection Act.”
The proposed amendment would limit the rate at which state government spending could increase, based on the sum of the percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index and the change in population growth.
