HARRISBURG, Pa. —
A bill designed to ensure that $60 million in NCAA fines levied against Penn State stay in Pennsylvania is on its way to the governor.
The House voted 194-2 on Wednesday to join the Senate in approving the measure and Gov. Tom Corbett's spokesman says he'll sign it.
The NCAA imposed heavy penalties on Penn State following the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal, including a $60 million fine.
The university paid the first $12 million installment, but the NCAA has agreed not to disperse the money while a lawsuit is pending.
State Sen. Jake Corman, the bill's sponsor, says it would require that any penalty of $10 million or more imposed on higher-education institutions in Pennsylvania to be held in escrow or used in-state for child sexual abuse programs.
