The Pennsylvania Game Commission gained nearly $180 million in oil, gas and mineral revenue during fiscal year 2021-22, and the state Senate would like to spread the wealth around.
House Bill 1300 was approved by the Senate on Aug. 30, and it included a late amendment that would transfer $150 million from the Game Commission’s Game Fund to the state’s Clean Streams Fund. The move comes after the agency realized significant revenue increases in 2021-22, much of it due to oil and gas lease royalties, which rose by $117 million from the previous year.
