Bill > HB2093

This bill amends Title 72 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter on unspent appropriations, requiring the Auditor General to provide detailed annual reports about Commonwealth agencies' unspent funds. The bill defines several key terms, including "Commonwealth agency" (which encompasses various executive branch offices and entities), "independent agency" (agencies not under the Governor's direct control), "State-affiliated entity" (including organizations like the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and State System of Higher Education), and "State-related institution" (specific universities like Penn State and University of Pittsburgh). Under the new provisions, each Commonwealth agency must submit financial information to the Auditor General by November 15 each year, and the Auditor General must then provide a comprehensive report to the General Assembly by December 30, detailing unspent money for each agency, broken down by line items and fund types. The report must also include recommendations for addressing unspent funds to prevent waste, mismanagement, inefficiency, and fraud. The bill will take effect immediately for some sections, with the remainder becoming active on July 1 of the year following its enactment.
