This bill amends Title 30 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on the establishment and use of the Fish Fund and the Boat Fund. It introduces new provisions that allow for the allocation of funds from the Fish Fund for expenses related to the commission's business concerning boats and boating that benefit fish and fishing. Similarly, it allows for the Boat Fund to cover expenses related to the commission's business concerning fish and fishing that benefit boats and boating. Both funds will require the commission to maintain records of expenditures and provide annual reports to key legislative committee leaders by January 31 each year.

The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability by mandating that the commission document the purpose of the funds expended and submit these reports to the chairpersons and minority chairpersons of relevant committees in both the Senate and House of Representatives. This ensures that the use of funds from both the Fish Fund and Boat Fund is closely monitored and aligned with their intended purposes. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
