An Act establishing the Climate Emergency Basic Income Program and the Emergency Stabilization Fund; and imposing duties on the Department of Labor and Industry and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
HB 1791 would create two new state programs: a Climate Emergency Basic Income Program to provide direct financial assistance to individuals affected by climate-related disasters, and an Emergency Stabilization Fund to support community recovery efforts. The bill requires the Department of Labor and Industry to administer the basic income program and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency to manage the stabilization fund. These programs would activate during declared climate emergencies to provide immediate economic relief and community stabilization. The legislation outlines specific duties for both agencies to ensure timely implementation of these support measures.
