Pennsylvania House thwarts proposed plan to transfer money from Game Fund
Published: , in Outdoor News
A move to transfer $150 million from the Pennsylvania Game Commission that could also jeopardize the agency’s eligibility for federal Pittman-Robertson funding has been stopped.
On Oct. 4, the House stripped an amendment that was added by the Senate to a budget bill. The amendment authorized the transfer of $150 million from the Game Commission’s Game Fund to the state’s Clean Streams Fund. The move came after the agency realized significant revenue increases in 2021-22, much of it due to oil and gas lease royalties, which rose by $117 million from the previous year.
