The State-aided University Nonpreferred Appropriation Act of 2025 provides funding for certain State-aided universities in Pennsylvania for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026. The bill outlines the payment structure, requiring monthly payments based on estimated costs submitted by the universities. It mandates that these institutions maintain proper records of expenditures and file a detailed statement of all expenditures made from the appropriated funds within 120 days after the fiscal year ends. The Auditor General is tasked with reviewing these statements and has the authority to audit and disallow any expenditures not permitted by the act.

Additionally, the bill specifies restrictions on the use of appropriated funds, particularly for the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pennsylvania, ensuring that funds are allocated solely for instructional and student-related services. It also includes provisions for the Agricultural College Land Scrip Fund and establishes the financial reporting standards that the universities must adhere to. The act appropriates specific amounts to each university, including $242 million to The Pennsylvania State University and $151 million to the University of Pittsburgh, among others. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later.
