Bill Summary · HB 113

Legislative bill overview

HB 113 amends Pennsylvania's Regulatory Review Act of 1982 to modify procedures governing how proposed regulations are developed and reviewed. The bill changes the processes state agencies must follow when creating new regulations and alters oversight mechanisms for regulatory approval.

Why is this important

Regulatory procedures directly affect how quickly new rules can be implemented, which impacts businesses, workers, and citizens across multiple sectors. Changes to these processes can either accelerate or slow regulatory action on issues ranging from environmental protection to workplace safety to consumer protection.

Potential points of contention

  • Business vs. Public Interest Balance: Modifications to review procedures could favor expedited business-friendly regulations or conversely require more rigorous public input periods, depending on specific language not detailed in this summary
  • Agency Authority: Changes may shift power between state agencies and independent review bodies, affecting which entities have final say on regulatory approval
  • Transparency and Public Participation: Amendments could expand or limit opportunities for public comment and stakeholder input during the regulatory development process
