        certain assessments; and providing for deposits in the First
        Class City Taxicab Regulatory Fund.

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

        Section 1.  Section 510(b)(1) of Title 66 of the Pennsylvania
     Consolidated Statutes, amended April 4, 1990 (P.L.93, No.21), is
     amended to read:
      § 510.  Assessment for regulatory expenses upon public
                utilities.
        * * *
        (b)  Allocation of assessment.--On or before March 31 of each
     year, every public utility shall file with the commission a
     statement under oath showing its gross intrastate operating
     revenues for the preceding calendar year. If any public utility
     shall fail to file such statement on or before March 31, the
     commission shall estimate such revenues, which estimate shall be
     binding upon the public utility for the purposes of this
     section. For each fiscal year, the allocation shall be made as
     follows:
            (1)  The commission shall determine for the preceding
        calendar year the amount of its expenditures directly
        attributable to the regulation of each group of utilities
        furnishing the same kind of service, and debit the amount so
        determined to such group. The commission may, for purposes of
        the assessment, deem utilities rendering water, sewer or
        water and sewer service, as defined in the definition of
        "public utility" in section 102 (relating to definitions), as
        a utility group.
            * * *
        Section 2.  Section 2414 of Title 66 is amended by adding a
     subsection to read:
      § 2414.  Budget and fees.
        * * *
        (c)  First Class City Taxicab Regulatory Fund.--Money
     deposited in the First Class City Taxicab Regulatory Fund is
     hereby specifically appropriated for the purposes of this
     chapter and shall not be used for any purpose not specified in
     this chapter.
        Section 3.  This act shall take effect in 60 days.

     APPROVED--The 22nd day of June, A. D. 1990.
