The bill amends the Right-to-Know Law in Pennsylvania by adding a new subsection to Section 701, which focuses on the online availability of certain financial records. Under this new provision, agencies are required to publish financial records related to fund disbursements on their publicly accessible websites by the last day of each month. Additionally, agencies must submit a quarterly affirmation to the Department of the Auditor General, confirming that all relevant financial records have been made available as required.

To ensure compliance, the Department of the Auditor General is tasked with conducting periodic audits. Furthermore, the bill allows individuals to bring civil actions in court for violations of these requirements, with the possibility of recovering reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses for successful claims. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the financial operations of Commonwealth agencies.
