Summary of HB 2413 (Pennsylvania, 2025-2026 Session)

Title

An Act making appropriations to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania.

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill provides general funding appropriations to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania.
  • It is an appropriations measure, meaning it allocates specific state dollars to support the university’s operations, programs, or initiatives as designated by the legislature.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Direct State Funding: The bill authorizes an appropriation to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The exact dollar amount is not specified in the available summary, but the bill functions as a line-item allocation within the state budget process.
  • Scope of Use: Appropriations typically support activities such as medical education, research, student programs, facilities, and other university initiatives that align with state interests or public benefits. The precise purposes and eligible expenditures would be defined in the appropriation line and accompanying fiscal notes.
  • Governance and Oversight: As with most state appropriations, funds would be subject to state fiscal oversight, reporting requirements, and adherence to applicable laws governing public funding to private universities.

Who/What Is Affected

  • The primary beneficiary: The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania.
  • Indirect beneficiaries: Students (including Pennsylvania residents), faculty, researchers, and programs affiliated with the university that receive state funding or support through the appropriation.
  • State entities: The Department of Treasury and other oversight or fiscal departments would administer, disburse, and monitor the funds.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Origin and Referral: The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee.
  • Committee Action: Reported as committed, then progressed through first consideration.
  • Floor Action: Laid on the table, then re-committed to Appropriations; subsequently moved for second consideration.
  • Recent Activity (as of the provided timeline):
    • March 24, 2026: Referred to Appropriations
    • March 25, 2026: Reported as committed; first consideration; laid on the table
    • March 25, 2026: Reappeared and advanced for second consideration
    • April 14–15, 2026: Actions include removing from table, re-committing to Appropriations, and second consideration
  • Sponsor: Co-sponsor Jordan Harris
  • Process status indicates the bill is moving through standard budget-appropriation steps with committee oversight and potential amendments before final passage.
