|

The following bill was given final action by the General Assembly and is now on the Governor's Desk for action--
Neighborhoods: House Bill 1609 (Freeman-D-Lehigh) amending the Municipalities Planning Code further defining traditional neighborhood development.
Electronics Recycling: House Bill 708 (Ross-R-Chester) requiring recycling of certain electronic products funded by industry fees - House concurs in Senate amendments and sends bill to Governor 170-26. NewsClip: Bill To Mandate E-Waste Recycling Could Soon Be Law
Alternative Energy: House Bill 1394 (Houghton-D-Chester) relating to splitting off farm and forest land under preferential assessment for alternative energy production - House concurs in Senate amendments and sends bill to Governor 196-0. "My proposal will help strengthen Pennsylvania's homegrown energy production by providing a major boost to the wind and solar industries and thereby propelling us closer to energy independence," Rep. Houghton said. "Like my bill to make Pennsylvania the 21st 'solar access' state in the country, which currently awaits Senate action, this bill will help create green jobs. Further, it will provide an additional revenue source to help farmers to continue to farm on their land."
