An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in facilities and supplies, further providing for deposits into account.
HB 385 clarifies that funds collected under Pennsylvania's Dog Law (1982 act) will continue flowing directly to the Department of Agriculture, unaffected by new accounting rules in Title 42. The bill amends a section about court deposits to explicitly exclude these specific fines and fees from being redirected by the new provisions. This is a technical correction affecting only funds from the Dog Law, not changing the law itself or creating new policies. The change takes effect 60 days after enactment.
