On October 30th, Governor Tom Wolf signed bills finalizing the overdue state budget. The package includes a massive expansion of gambling in Pennsylvania to help pay for what is said to be a “one-time” $2 billion budget deficit. The bills included provisions for the distribution of state subsidies necessary to pay the $32 billion budget that became law in July. Along with the legislation for expanded gambling, appropriations for state-related universities were also included. Of particular interest to the field of pupil services, the bill includes an appropriation under the Department of Labor and Industry for payment to the Vocational Rehabilitation Fund, which includes funding for services under the Work Experience for High School Students with Disabilities Act.
