(a) Contracts.--Contracts with primary contractors and Statewide contractors shall be for a period not to exceed three years. Contracts shall be awarded in accordance with 62 Pa.C.S. (relating to procurement) and may be awarded on a multiple-award basis. Funding for multiyear contracts shall be subject to the availability of funds as appropriated by the General Assembly.

(b) Purpose.--Funds allocated under this chapter shall be used for all of the following:

(1) At least 70% shall be used for grants to primary contractors to develop local programs.

(2) The remaining funds shall be used for compliance with Federal requirements under the act of December 21, 2000 (Public Law 106-554, 114 Stat. 2763), and for Statewide efforts consistent with the priorities established under section 704(2). 1 After June 30, 2002, no more than one-half of the funds set aside under this paragraph shall be used for counter-marketing media campaigns. Media campaigns prepared for television or radio may be conducted through public or private media outlets. All funds used for such campaigns shall be spent to the greatest extent possible on efforts that have been proven successful in other states.

(c) Limitations.--The aggregate amount of contracts and grants in any fiscal year may not exceed the amount of the appropriation to the department for the tobacco prevention program in that fiscal year. The provision of a grant under this chapter shall not constitute an entitlement derived from the Commonwealth or a claim on any other funds of the Commonwealth.
