This bill amends the Fiscal Code of Pennsylvania, specifically focusing on the Sports, Marketing and Tourism Account. It introduces new provisions regarding the use of funds for financial assistance related to hospitality. The Department is required to establish and maintain a monthly updated log of Commonwealth officials, employees, and their guests who receive hospitality, excluding those generally available to the public at no charge. This log must be publicly accessible on the department's website and include detailed information about each recipient, such as their name, address, employer, work title, date of hospitality, event name, description, estimated value, and the reason for the invitation.
The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the use of public funds for hospitality purposes. By mandating the publication of this log, the legislation seeks to ensure that the public is informed about the recipients of such financial assistance and the context in which it is provided. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
