Rep. Ortitay To Introduce Bill To Reallocate Funding From Keystone Recreation, Park & Conservation Fund Every Year

On October 7, Rep. Jason Ortitay (R-Allegheny) circulated a co-sponsor memo asking colleagues to sponsor legislation requiring the General Assembly to reallocate funding from the Keystone Recreation, Park & Conservation Fund every year, rather than use the allocation in law currently.

"We should not assume that the spending priorities that the Legislature set in 1993 still reflect the needs of our constituents in 2019.  Choosing funding priorities for the Commonwealth, particularly for grant programs, should be set by the General Assembly each year," said Rep. Ortitay.

A sponsor summary of the bill is available.
