Currentness
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, each library subject to 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93 (relating to public library code), shall be eligible for State aid for fiscal year 2020-2021, as follows:
(1) Funds appropriated for libraries shall be distributed to each library under the following formula:
(i) Divide the amount of funding that the library received in fiscal year 2019-2020 under section 23231 by the total State-aid subsidy for fiscal year 2019-2020.
(ii) Multiply the quotient under subparagraph (i) by the total State-aid subsidy for fiscal year 2020-2021.
(2) Following distribution of funds appropriated for State aid to libraries under paragraph (1), any remaining funds may be distributed at the discretion of the State Librarian.
(3) If funds appropriated for State aid to libraries in fiscal year 2020-2021 are less than funds appropriated in fiscal year 2002-2003, the State Librarian may waive standards as prescribed in 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93.
(4) Each library system receiving State aid under this section may distribute the local library share of that aid in a manner as determined by the board of directors of the library system.
(5) In the case of a library system that contains a library operating in a city of the second class, changes to the distribution of State aid to the library shall be made by mutual agreement between the library and the library system.
(6) In the event of a change in district library center population prior to the effective date of this section as a result of:
(i) a city, borough, town, township, school district or county moving from one library center to another; or
(ii) a transfer of district library center status to a county library system;
funding of district library center aid shall be paid based on the population of the newly established or reconfigured district library center.
(7) In the event of a change in direct service area from one library to another, the State Librarian, upon agreement of the affected libraries, may redistribute the local library share of aid to the library currently servicing the area.
