AI Summary

This bill amends the Fiscal Code to establish a restricted account within the Agricultural College Land Scrip Fund, which is appropriated on a continuing basis to the State Treasurer for the purpose of funding agricultural research programs and agricultural extension services. The bill requires the State Treasurer to pay the money in the restricted account to the Commonwealth's land grant university on an equal monthly basis during the fiscal year, and prohibits the payment from being prohibited, withheld, or delayed under any other law, regardless of whether there is an appropriation for general support to the university for that fiscal year.
