Appropriations committee corrects PUC funding figures, adds $6,000 in amendment to HB1339
Summary
Committee staff said amendment A9925 to House Bill 13 39 corrects an earlier error and restores $6,000 to a previously reported $96,006,000 adjustment for the Pennsylvania Utility Commission.
The House Appropriations Committee adopted amendment A9925 to House Bill 13 39 to correct previously reported numbers for Pennsylvania Utility Commission funding and to add $6,000 that had been omitted.
A committee member asked for clarification on why the bill was being amended again in Appropriations. "I would like some explanation as to why we are amending this bill again in appropriations," the committee member said. Committee staff responded that the change was a numerical correction to match the governor’s spring update: "This is a further adjustment. There was an error in the initial bill and we are just making the numbers match the spring update, which was provided by the governor," the staff member said. Staff later explained the May 2025 update provided for a $96,006,000 amendment to the PUC’s bill and that a $6,000 figure had been omitted in a prior amendment; A9925 restores that amount.
There was no further discussion recorded and the transcript shows amendment A9925 was adopted with no negative votes; House Bill 13 39 as amended was rereported to the floor unanimously. The transcript does not provide additional detail about how the dollars will be allocated within the Pennsylvania Utility Commission or programmatic effects of the correction.
