$11.25 temporary surcharge created by Act 49 of 2009 which was set to expire on
January 7, 2012 has been extended to December 31, 2014.

the financial regulations governing the collection of the fee and the surchazge, which aze
codified at 204 Pa. Code § 29.351. The amendatory language pursuant to Act 30 can be
