An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, further providing for reports to General Assembly.

SB 157 amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to require the state department to provide detailed annual reports to legislative committees about specific public assistance program data. The bill mandates reporting on lottery winnings affecting cash assistance eligibility (including denial rates for $600+ winnings), vehicle exemptions, access device replacements, and violations of spending rules. These reports must include specific statistics and communication gaps related to program implementation. The requirement applies to the Health and Human Services Committees in both legislative chambers, aiming to increase transparency in public assistance administration.
