| From: | Representative William C. Kortz, II |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Legislation Establishing a Police Fuel Reimbursement Fund (Former HB 1293) |
| In the near future, I intend to re-introduce legislation (former HB 1293) that would amend Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes establishing the Police Fuel Reimbursement Fund and provide for a police reimbursement surcharge. This legislation would implement a $12 surcharge fee upon conviction for a violation of section 3362 (relating to maximum speed limits) of the Vehicle Code. The surcharges collected would be remitted to the Commonwealth to be deposited in the Police Fuel Reimbursement Fund, which this legislation would establish. The Police Fuel Reimbursement Fund would be administered through the Treasury with the purpose of assisting police departments across the Commonwealth by providing reimbursements for their fuel. A provision of this legislation would require an issuing authority of the Commonwealth to submit information shared by the Treasury on a quarterly basis, including the total number of convictions resulting in a surcharge in Section 3362 (relating to maximum speed limits) and the total amount appropriated to the issuing authority for fuel costs. After all of the annual reimbursements have been made to issuing authorities, the remaining balance would be paid to the Pennsylvania State Police. Please join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. Co-sponsors of former HB 1293: HARKINS, CONKLIN, SWANGER, COHEN, and DENLINGER |
