An Act making an appropriation from a restricted revenue account within the General Fund to the Office of Small Business Advocate in the Department of Community and Economic Development.
SB 285 appropriates $2,243,000 from a restricted revenue account in Pennsylvania's General Fund to the Office of Small Business Advocate within the Department of Community and Economic Development. This funding is specifically for the office's operations during the 2025-2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026). The bill directly affects the Office of Small Business Advocate by providing dedicated funding to support its work. As a procedural appropriation bill, it focuses solely on authorizing the financial allocation without creating new policy.
