Pennsylvania SB222 amends the Fiscal Code to establish oversight for grants awarded by Commonwealth agencies.

Pennsylvania SB222 amends the Fiscal Code to introduce oversight for grants awarded by Commonwealth agencies. The bill mandates that grants exceeding $10,000 must follow a competitive application process. It requires grantees to exhaust other funding sources before using Commonwealth funds and to report on additional funding sources. If a grantee secures funds from other sources, it must reimburse the Commonwealth for any unspent grant money, up to the grant amount, plus interest. The bill prohibits bonuses from being paid with grant money and mandates repayment if a bonus is paid.
