                 Act of Dec. 22, 1965, P.L. 1182, No. 468             Cl. 43
                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing the Departments of Labor and Industry and Public
        Instruction to cooperate with the Federal government in the
        furtherance of the objectives of the Manpower Development and
        Training Act of 1962 and its amendments; and making
        appropriations in furtherance thereof.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  In order to continue to participate in the
     programs under the Federal Manpower Development and Training Act
     of 1962 (42 U.S.C. 2571-2620), and its amendments, the Secretary
     of the Department of Labor and Industry and the Superintendent
     of Public Instruction are each authorized: (1) to administer
     manpower development and training programs and to pay training
     allowances; (2) to execute on behalf of this Commonwealth
     agreements or contracts with the appropriate Federal agencies
     containing such provisions as may be necessary or desirable to
     enable this Commonwealth to participate in such programs; (3) to
     expend all funds made available for the purpose of such programs
     by (i) this Commonwealth or (ii) political subdivisions thereof
     or (iii) by the Federal government and to supervise the
     expenditure of such funds and the conduct of such programs by
     other public and private agencies in this Commonwealth; (4) to
     make such reports and certifications as are called for; and (5)
     otherwise to cooperate with the Federal government and its
     departments and agencies in the administration of such programs.
        Section 2.  (a) There is hereby appropriated the sum of two
     hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to the Department of
     Labor and Industry and the sum of two hundred fifty thousand
     dollars ($250,000) to the Department of Public Instruction for
     the period beginning July 1, 1965 and ending June 30, 1967, for
     costs of programs referred to in section 1 of this act, to the
     extent required by the Federal Manpower Development and Training
     Act of 1962 and its amendments. Unobligated moneys of either
     appropriation to the above departments may be transferred to and
     expended by the other department on approval by the Governor.
        In addition to the amounts appropriated by this act all
     moneys received from the Federal government or from any other
     source as contributions for the programs provided herein shall
     be paid into the General Fund and are hereby appropriated out of
     the General Fund for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
        If Congress enacts any law changing the participation by the
     Federal government in amounts greater than those now fixed by
     law the appropriations herein made shall be reduced by the
     amounts that the Federal government participation is increased.
        (b)  Any law to the contrary notwithstanding, expenditures of
     moneys appropriated herein shall be made under such systems of
     requisitioning and accounting as the Governor, the State
     Treasurer, the Secretary of the Department of Labor and
     Industry, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction or a
     majority of them shall determine.
        (c)  The moneys hereby appropriated shall not be expended or
     available for expenditure in any manner which would permit their
     substitution for, or produce a corresponding reduction in,
     Federal funds which would, in the absence of the hereby
     appropriated moneys, be available to finance expenditures for
     the administration of this act.
        Section 3.  This act shall take effect July 1, 1965.
