Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 P.S. Counties § 5102. Appropriation for maintenance of national guard

(a) The board of commissioners may appropriate, annually, from any moneys in the county treasury not otherwise appropriated, a sum not exceeding seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) for the support and maintenance, discipline and training of any dismounted company or similar unit of the National Guard, and a sum not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars ($1500) for the support and maintenance, discipline and training of any mounted or motorized troop or similar unit of the National Guard. Where such units are organized as a battalion, regiment or similar organization, the total amount due may be paid to the commanding officer of the battalion, regiment or similar organization.

(b) Any moneys so appropriated shall be paid by warrant of the commissioners, drawn to the order of the commanding officer of such company, battalion, regiment or similar organization, only when it shall be certified to the commissioners by the Adjutant General of the State that such unit or units have satisfactorily passed the annual inspection provided by law. The moneys so appropriated shall be used and expended solely and exclusively for the support and maintenance, discipline and training of the said company, battalion, regiment or similar organization, and the commanding officer shall account, by proper vouchers to the county, each year, for the expenditure of the money so appropriated, and no appropriation shall be made for any subsequent year until the expenditure of the previous year is duly and satisfactorily accounted for.

(c) The accounts of such expenditures shall be subject to the inspection of the Department of Military Affairs, and shall be audited by the controller in the manner provided by law for the audit of accounts of county moneys.
