The business must include the following statement on every invoice submitted to the Commonwealth: "(name of business) is a qualified small business concern as defined in 4 Pa. Code 2.32."
   A business is eligible for payments when the required payment is the latest of:
      The payment date specified in the contract.
      30 days after the later of the receipt of a proper invoice or receipt of goods or services.
      The net payment date stated on the business' invoice.
   A 15-day grace period after the required payment date is provided to the Commonwealth by the Act.

2005-6 The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee Officers have directed the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee staff to conduct a study on the economic costs of starting school prior to Labor Day. The study is to address the concern that, due to the school year beginning prior to Labor Day, families are cutting summer vacations short, thereby impacting tourism revenue and teachers and students are losing wages and job opportunities as a result of not being able to work the week prior to Labor Day and on Labor Day weekend. As such, this study is to: (1) Provide a comparison of school calendars from 2004-05 to an appropriate year in the early 1970s. This should include, but not be limited to, the average number of instructional days; school holidays other than for staff development or work-days; staff development or workdays; average school year in months and weeks; and average summer break in weeks and days for at least 100 districts; (2) determine the economic impact of early school start dates, including, but not limited to: loss of personal income by students, teachers, support staff, and migrant workers; loss to tourist economies per day and per week; cost to schools for their operations and utilities per day and per week; and (3) determine the costs to parents and teachers for child care costs per day and per week. The Texas Comptroller issued a report on the costs of starting school before Labor Day. This report can be obtained at http://www.window.state.tx.us/specialrpt/schoolstart2004/. The LB&FC is seeking similar data and a similar reporting format with data specific to Pennsylvania. To be considered, proposals must arrive at the offices of the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee on or before 4:30 p.m. on January 13, 2006.
