24The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 
25hereby enacts as follows:

26Section 1. The General Assembly finds and declares as
27follows:

28(1) The intent of this act is to provide for the
29implementation of the 2013-2014 Commonwealth budget.

30(2) The Constitution of Pennsylvania confers numerous
31express duties upon the General Assembly, including the
32passage of a balanced budget for the Commonwealth.

33(3) Article III, section 24, of the Constitution of
34Pennsylvania requires the General Assembly to adopt all
35appropriations for the operation of government in the
36Commonwealth, regardless of their source. The Supreme Court
37has repeatedly affirmed that, "It is fundamental within
38Pennsylvania's tripartite system that the General Assembly
39enacts the legislation establishing those programs which the
40state provides for its citizens and appropriates the funds
41necessary for their operation."

1(4) Pursuant to Article VIII, section 13 of the
2Constitution of Pennsylvania, the General Assembly is
3explicitly required to adopt a balanced Commonwealth budget.
4Given the unpredictability and potential insufficiency of
5revenue collections, various changes in State law relating to
6sources of revenue, the collection of revenue and the
7implementation of statutes which impact revenue may be
8required to discharge this constitutional obligation.

9(5) Article III, section 11, of the Constitution of
10Pennsylvania requires the adoption of a general appropriation
11bill that embraces "nothing but appropriations." While
12actual appropriations can be contained in a General
13Appropriations Act, the achievement and implementation of a
14comprehensive budget involves more than appropriations.
15Ultimately, the budget has to be balanced under Article VIII,
16section 13, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. This may
17necessitate changes to sources of funding and enactment of
18statutes to achieve full compliance with these constitutional
19provisions.

20(6) For the reasons set forth in paragraphs (1), (2),
21(3), (4) and (5), it is the intent of the General Assembly
22through this act to provide for the implementation of the
232013-2014 Commonwealth budget.

24(7) Every provision of this act relates to the
25implementation of the operating budget of the Commonwealth
26for this fiscal year, addressing in various ways the fiscal
27operations, revenues and potential liabilities of the
28Commonwealth. To that end, this act places conditions on
29appropriations, provides for accountability for spending and
30makes any necessary transfers or other changes necessary to

1impact the availability of revenue or the fiscal conditions
2of the Commonwealth, in order to meet the requirements of
3Article VIII, section 13, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania
4and to implement the act of , 2013 (P.L. , No. A), known as
5the General Appropriation Act of 2013.

6Section 2. Section 9 of the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, 
7No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, amended July 2, 2012 
8(P.L.823, No.87), is amended to read:

9Section 9. Method of Payment.--(a) Notwithstanding any
10other provisions of this act or any other acts, the State
11Treasurer and the Secretary of Revenue shall jointly prescribe
12by regulation the method of payment of obligations due the

14(1) Requiring payment by electronic funds transfers (EFT)
15which includes automated clearinghouse debit, automated
16clearinghouse credit, wire transfer and any other means that may
17be available to obtain funds due the Commonwealth in the most
18expeditious manner. The payor shall select which method of
19electronic funds transfer he wishes to utilize from among these
20options.

21(2) Setting the date on which a payment is deemed to have
22been received when a method other than mail is required.

23(3) Establishing procedures to be followed when a method
24other than mail is required.

25(4) Any other provisions necessary to ensure the prompt
26deposit of funds legally due the Commonwealth.

27(5) An option permitting payment by certified or cashier's
28check delivered in person or by courier to the Department of
29Revenue on or before the due date of the obligation, in lieu of
30payment by electronic funds transfer.

1(b) The regulations shall not require:

2(1) Any payment to be posted to a Commonwealth account prior
3to the due date, including grace periods, established by law or
4regulations.

5(2) Changes to the method of payment for those payments made
6by individuals under Article III of the act of March 4, 1971
7(P.L.6, No.2), known as the "Tax Reform Code of 1971."

8(3) Changes to the method of payment when the payment is
9less than [ten thousand dollars ($10,000)] one thousand dollars 
10($1,000).

11(4) Automated clearinghouse debit as the sole and exclusive
12means of complying with this act and the regulations promulgated
13pursuant to this act.

2dollars ($500), but not less than ten dollars ($10). This
3penalty shall be assessed and collected in the manner provided
4by the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the "Tax
5Reform Code of 1971." This penalty shall be in addition to any
6civil penalty imposed in the applicable article of the "Tax
7Reform Code of 1971" for failure to file a return, report or
8other document. The criminal penalty for failure to file a
9return, report or other document by the method required under
10subsection (a) shall be the same as the criminal penalty for
11failure to file a return, report or other document under the
12applicable article of the "Tax Reform Code of 1971."

13(c) (1) The Department of Revenue may waive the requirement
14to file by the method required under subsection (a) when the
15department determines that any of the following apply:

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

17(ii) The preparer or taxpayer requests a waiver in writing
18that clearly states why the filing method causes an undue
19hardship.

20(2) In determining whether filing by the method required
21under subsection (a) causes an undue hardship, the Department of
22Revenue may consider unusual circumstances that may prevent the
23person from filing by the prescribed method or any other factor
24that the department determines is relevant.
