Budget Approval Charter Referendum
At a glance
Bill 39 is an ordinance directing the Allegheny County Board of Elections to put a referendum question to Pittsburgh voters on amending Article Three (Legislative Branch) of the Home Rule Charter to change budget approval rules so budgets pass in a timely way at the end of legislative sessions. The Finance and Law committee held it four weeks on September 30, 2026. Its text refers to a May 2026 primary, so the ballot date may need updating.
