An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in general budget implementation, further providing for Motor License Fund.
HB 1085 amends Pennsylvania's Motor License Fund allocation rules for the Pennsylvania State Police. It sets a 2025-2026 funding cap at 68% of the 2016-2017 level ($125 million) and eliminates all future appropriations for this purpose starting in fiscal year 2026-2027. The bill directly affects the State Police budget and the Motor License Fund, which is funded by vehicle registration fees. This is a procedural budget adjustment with no new policy changes, solely modifying existing funding levels.
