An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, providing for grant oversight.
SB 222 amends Pennsylvania's Fiscal Code to establish new oversight rules for state grant programs. It requires grantees (nonprofits, schools, municipalities, and other outside entities) to disclose all funding sources, use Commonwealth grant money only after exhausting other funding, and submit semiannual reports on spending and progress. The bill prohibits using grant funds for bonuses (triggering automatic repayment if violated) and mandates returning unspent funds within 30 days of project completion or if other funding covers costs. These provisions apply to all Commonwealth agencies administering grants, except for municipalities, school districts, and certain educational institutions. The law aims to ensure grant funds are used as intended and prevent misuse.
