Pennsylvania Statutes Title 32 P.S. Forests, Waters and State Parks § 679.404. Grants and reimbursements to municipalities and counties

(a) The Department of Community Affairs is authorized to administer grants to municipalities and counties to assist or reimburse them for costs in preparing official plans and actual administrative enforcement and implementation costs and revisions to official plans for flood plain management required by this act, and for carrying out related studies, surveys, investigations, research and analyses. Grants and reimbursements shall be made from and to the extent of funds appropriated by the General Assembly for such purposes, and shall be made in accordance to rules and regulations adopted by the Department of Community Affairs and in accordance with the following:

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to impair or limit application of this act to any municipality or person, or to relieve any municipality or person of duties imposed under this act.

(c) If, in any fiscal year, appropriations are insufficient to cover the costs or grants and reimbursements to all municipalities or counties eligible for such grants and reimbursements in that fiscal year, the Department of Community Affairs shall report such fact to the General Assembly and shall request appropriation of funds necessary to provide the grants authorized in this section. If such a deficiency appropriation is not enacted, any municipality or county which has not received the full amount of the grant for which it is eligible under this section shall be as a first priority reimbursed from appropriations made in the next successive fiscal year.
