§ 1752-A. Appropriation to Emergency Energy Assistance Fund

An amount equal to not more than 1.0 mill of the gross receipts tax collected during each fiscal year under Article XI of the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L. 6, No. 2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, shall be appropriated for the fiscal year July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006, from the General Fund to the Emergency Energy Assistance Fund, to be administered by the Department of Public Welfare for State-funded emergency energy assistance if the Governor issues a declaration that either weather conditions, natural or man-made disasters, or high energy prices or a combination thereof are a threat to public health within this Commonwealth and available Federal home energy assistance funds are not sufficient to meet this need. The Governor shall publish this emergency declaration in the Pennsylvania Bulletin along with the criteria and emergency regulations for this program and shall transmit copies of the declaration to the chairman and minority chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Senate and the chairman and minority chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives.
