An Act establishing the State Emergency Supplemental Grant Program; imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency; establishing the State Emergency Supplemental Assistance Fund; and making a transfer.
HB 199 creates the State Emergency Supplemental Grant Program to provide additional financial assistance to Pennsylvania residents and businesses after they receive the maximum federal disaster aid. The program, administered by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, offers grants covering the gap between federal assistance and actual disaster damage (up to $10,000 for federally declared disasters) or a state-determined amount for state-declared disasters. It establishes a dedicated fund financed by an annual $5 million transfer from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, with funds limited to essential items like housing, medical care, and temporary rental - excluding home improvements, luxury goods, or pre-existing damage.
