27The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
28hereby enacts as follows:

<-29Section 1. Section 1603-D of the act of April 9, 1929 
30(P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, amended or added 
31October 6, 1997 (P.L.387, No.46) and July 5, 2006 (P.L.296, 
32No.66), is amended to read:

<-33Section 1. The General Assembly finds and declares as
34follows:

35(1) The intent of this act is to provide for the
36implementation of the 2013-2014 Commonwealth budget.

37(2) The Constitution of Pennsylvania confers numerous
38express duties upon the General Assembly, including the
39passage of a balanced budget for the Commonwealth.

40(3) Article III, section 24, of the Constitution of
41Pennsylvania requires the General Assembly to adopt all
42appropriations for the operation of government in the
43Commonwealth, regardless of their source. The Supreme Court

1has repeatedly affirmed that, "It is fundamental within
2Pennsylvania's tripartite system that the General Assembly
3enacts the legislation establishing those programs which the
4state provides for its citizens and appropriates the funds
5necessary for their operation."

6(4) Pursuant to Article VIII, section 13 of the
7Constitution of Pennsylvania, the General Assembly is
8explicitly required to adopt a balanced Commonwealth budget.
9Given the unpredictability and potential insufficiency of
10revenue collections, various changes in State law relating to
11sources of revenue, the collection of revenue and the
12implementation of statutes which impact revenue may be
13required to discharge this constitutional obligation.

14(5) Article III, section 11, of the Constitution of
15Pennsylvania requires the adoption of a general appropriation
16bill that embraces "nothing but appropriations." While
17actual appropriations can be contained in a General
18Appropriations Act, the achievement and implementation of a
19comprehensive budget involves more than appropriations.
20Ultimately, the budget has to be balanced under Article VIII,
21section 13, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. This may
22necessitate changes to sources of funding and enactment of
23statutes to achieve full compliance with these constitutional
24provisions.

25(6) For the reasons set forth in paragraphs (1), (2),
26(3), (4) and (5), it is the intent of the General Assembly
27through this act to provide for the implementation of the
282013-2014 Commonwealth budget.

29(7) Every provision of this act relates to the
30implementation of the operating budget of the Commonwealth

1for this fiscal year, addressing in various ways the fiscal
2operations, revenues and potential liabilities of the
3Commonwealth. To that end, this act places conditions on
4appropriations, provides for accountability for spending and
5makes any necessary transfers or other changes necessary to
6impact the availability of revenue or the fiscal conditions
7of the Commonwealth, in order to meet the requirements of
8Article VIII, section 13, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania
9and to implement the act of , 2013 (P.L. , No. A), known as
10the General Appropriation Act of 2013.

11Section 2. Section 9 of the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, 
12No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, amended July 2, 2012 
13(P.L.823, No.87), is amended to read:

14Section 9. Method of Payment.--(a) Notwithstanding any
15other provisions of this act or any other acts, the State
16Treasurer and the Secretary of Revenue shall jointly prescribe
17by regulation the method of payment of obligations due the
18Commonwealth. Such regulations shall include:

19(1) Requiring payment by electronic funds transfers (EFT)
20which includes automated clearinghouse debit, automated
21clearinghouse credit, wire transfer and any other means that may
22be available to obtain funds due the Commonwealth in the most
23expeditious manner. The payor shall select which method of
24electronic funds transfer he wishes to utilize from among these
25options.

26(2) Setting the date on which a payment is deemed to have
27been received when a method other than mail is required.

28(3) Establishing procedures to be followed when a method
29other than mail is required.

30(4) Any other provisions necessary to ensure the prompt

1deposit of funds legally due the Commonwealth.

2(5) An option permitting payment by certified or cashier's
3check delivered in person or by courier to the Department of
4Revenue on or before the due date of the obligation, in lieu of
5payment by electronic funds transfer.

6(b) The regulations shall not require:

7(1) Any payment to be posted to a Commonwealth account prior
8to the due date, including grace periods, established by law or
9regulations.

10(2) Changes to the method of payment for those payments made
11by individuals under Article III of the act of March 4, 1971
12(P.L.6, No.2), known as the "Tax Reform Code of 1971."

13(3) Changes to the method of payment when the payment is
14less than [ten thousand dollars ($10,000)] one thousand dollars 
15($1,000).

16(4) Automated clearinghouse debit as the sole and exclusive
17means of complying with this act and the regulations promulgated
18pursuant to this act.

19Section 3. Section 10 of the act, added October 9, 2009 
20(P.L.537, No.50), is amended to read:

21Section 10. Method of Filing.--(a) The Department of
22Revenue may require any return, report or other document
23required to be filed for a tax administered by the department
24prepared by a third party who submits [fifty or] more than ten
25returns, reports or other documents required to be filed per

27including by telephonic, electronic or other method. Notice of
28the method of filing shall be published in the Pennsylvania

2other method. The notice shall refer to this section.

3(b) Failure to file a return, report or other document by

5preparer to a penalty of one percent of the tax due on the
6return, report or other document up to a maximum of five hundred
7dollars ($500), but not less than ten dollars ($10). This
8penalty shall be assessed and collected in the manner provided
9by the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the "Tax
10Reform Code of 1971." This penalty shall be in addition to any
11civil penalty imposed in the applicable article of the "Tax
12Reform Code of 1971" for failure to file a return, report or
13other document. The criminal penalty for failure to file a
14return, report or other document by the method required under
15subsection (a) shall be the same as the criminal penalty for
16failure to file a return, report or other document under the
17applicable article of the "Tax Reform Code of 1971."

18(c) (1) The Department of Revenue may waive the requirement
19to file by the method required under subsection (a) when the
20department determines that any of the following apply:

21(i) The prescribed filing method causes an undue hardship.

22(ii) The preparer or taxpayer requests a waiver in writing
23that clearly states why the filing method causes an undue
24hardship.

25(2) In determining whether filing by the method required
26under subsection (a) causes an undue hardship, the Department of
27Revenue may consider unusual circumstances that may prevent the
28person from filing by the prescribed method or any other factor
29that the department determines is relevant.

30Section 4. Section 209 of the act, amended July 2, 2012
