        (a)  Expenditures.--In addition to the funds which the
     Governor is authorized to transfer for disasters in accordance
     with 35 Pa.C.S. § 7307 (relating to use and appropriation of
     unused Commonwealth funds), the Governor may transfer any other
     appropriated but unused funds in an amount of not more than
     $15,000,000 in any fiscal year which may have been appropriated
     for the ordinary expenses of the Commonwealth government from
     the General Fund to be utilized for the purposes set forth in 35
     Pa.C.S. § 7601 (relating to compact enacted). The Secretary of
     the Budget shall, within five days of a transfer of funds
     authorized under this section, notify the chairman and minority
     chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Senate and the
     chairman and minority chairman of the Appropriations Committee
     of the House of Representatives of such transfer. Such
     notification shall identify the amount transferred, the
     appropriation from which funds were transferred, the
     appropriation to which the funds were transferred and the
     justification for such transfer. The Secretary of the Budget
     shall provide a full accounting to the chairman and minority
     chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Senate and the
     chairman and minority chairman of the Appropriations Committee
     of the House of Representatives after the close of each fiscal
     year concerning funds transferred pursuant to the provisions of
     this section.

            (1)  Reimbursement of all support provided to member
        states in accordance with the provisions of 35 Pa.C.S. § 7601
        shall be secured by the Governor or the Governor's designee
        in consultation with the Secretary of the Budget.
            (2)  The Governor may accept on behalf of the
        Commonwealth all reimbursements for funds and services

        7601. Reimbursements shall be deposited in the State Treasury
        and shall be allocated by the Secretary of the Budget to the
        agencies from which funds were transferred pursuant to
        subsection (a) of this section.
