Bill > HB890

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to place new restrictions on the use of the Veterans' Trust Fund. Specifically, the bill prohibits the department from using money from the fund to pay salaries of administrative staff in veterans' organizations or charitable organizations serving veterans, with an exception for clinical staff and those providing medical care to veterans and their families. Additionally, the bill limits the amount of funding that can be provided to a single entity to no more than $250,000 over a three-year period. These changes aim to ensure that the Veterans' Trust Fund is used more directly to support veterans' services and prevent excessive administrative spending. The provisions will take effect immediately upon enactment, providing immediate guidance on the fund's use and potential expenditures.
