Bill > SB283

This bill makes specific appropriations (budget allocations) for various professional licensing boards and commissions within the Department of State for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It appropriates $73,093,000 from the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account to the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, and provides additional specific funding for several boards: $10,191,000 for the State Board of Medicine, $2,553,000 for the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, $474,000 for the State Board of Podiatry, and $1,396,000 from the Athletic Commission Augmentation Account for the State Athletic Commission. The bill emphasizes that each of these appropriations should be treated as separate and not as augmentations to other government accounts. The appropriations are designed to support the operations of these professional licensing boards and the Athletic Commission during the specified fiscal year, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later. These funds will help ensure the continued functioning of various professional regulatory bodies in Pennsylvania.
