An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in special funds, further providing for disposition of Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund.
HB 2007 mandates a specific $62 million transfer from Pennsylvania's Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund by November 1, 2025, to address the loss of federal SNAP benefits. The funds are allocated as follows: $50 million to the Department of Agriculture for food bank grants under existing state food programs, $10 million to the Department of Human Services for senior meal assistance, and $2 million for administration and outreach. This bill directly affects food banks, senior assistance organizations, and state agencies managing these programs. It requires the transfer to occur regardless of the usual emergency funding process outlined in Section 1703-A(b), which typically requires a two-thirds legislative vote for reserve fund appropriations. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
