SECTION 1. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FINDS AND DECLARES AS

FOLLOWS:

(1) THE INTENT OF THIS ACT IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET.

(2) THE CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA CONFERS NUMEROUS

EXPRESS DUTIES UPON THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, INCLUDING THE

PASSAGE OF A BALANCED BUDGET FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.

(3) SECTION 24 OF ARTICLE III OF THE CONSTITUTION OF

PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT ALL

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF GOVERNMENT IN THE

COMMONWEALTH, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SOURCE. THE SUPREME COURT

HAS REPEATEDLY AFFIRMED THAT, "IT IS FUNDAMENTAL WITHIN

PENNSYLVANIA'S TRIPARTITE SYSTEM THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

ENACTS THE LEGISLATION ESTABLISHING THOSE PROGRAMS WHICH THE

STATE PROVIDES FOR ITS CITIZENS AND APPROPRIATES THE FUNDS

NECESSARY FOR THEIR OPERATION."

(4) PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OF ARTICLE VIII OF THE

CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS

EXPLICITLY REQUIRED TO ADOPT A BALANCED COMMONWEALTH BUDGET.

GIVEN THE UNPREDICTABILITY AND POTENTIAL INSUFFICIENCY OF

REVENUE COLLECTIONS, VARIOUS CHANGES IN STATE LAW RELATING TO

SOURCES OF REVENUE, THE COLLECTION OF REVENUE AND THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF STATUTES WHICH IMPACT REVENUE MAY BE

REQUIRED TO DISCHARGE THIS CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION.

(5) SECTION 11 OF ARTICLE III OF THE CONSTITUTION OF

PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES THE ADOPTION OF A GENERAL APPROPRIATION

ACT THAT EMBRACES "NOTHING BUT APPROPRIATIONS." WHILE ACTUAL

ITEMS OF APPROPRIATION CAN BE CONTAINED IN A GENERAL

20150HB1327PN2650 - 4 -

APPROPRIATIONS ACT, THE ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A

COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET INVOLVES MORE THAN SUBJECTS OF

APPROPRIATIONS AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS. ULTIMATELY, THE BUDGET HAS

TO BE BALANCED UNDER SECTION 13 OF ARTICLE VIII OF THE

CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA. THIS MAY NECESSITATE CHANGES TO

SOURCES OF FUNDING AND ENACTMENT OF STATUTES TO ACHIEVE FULL

COMPLIANCE WITH THESE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS.

(6) FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPHS (1), (2),

(3), (4) AND (5), IT IS THE INTENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

THROUGH THIS ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET.

(7) EVERY PROVISION OF THIS ACT RELATES TO THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPERATING BUDGET OF THE COMMONWEALTH

FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, ADDRESSING IN VARIOUS WAYS THE FISCAL

OPERATIONS, REVENUES AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES OF THE

COMMONWEALTH. TO THAT END, THIS ACT IS INTENDED TO IMPLEMENT

THE 2015-2016 COMMONWEALTH BUDGET WITHOUT SPECIFICALLY

APPROPRIATING PUBLIC MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND. THIS ACT

PROVIDES ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SPENDING AND MAKES TRANSFERS OR

OTHER CHANGES NECESSARY TO IMPACT THE AVAILABILITY OF REVENUE

IN ORDER TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 13 OF ARTICLE

VIII OF THE CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA AND TO IMPLEMENT THE
