An Act amending the act of July 13, 1988 (P.L.530, No.94), known as the Environmental Hearing Board Act, further providing for jurisdiction.

This bill expands the jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to handle appeals regarding natural gas decisions made by state departments. It allows individuals who are dissatisfied with these specific departmental rulings to file their challenges directly in federal court rather than through other available channels. The change applies to civil actions or petitions for review concerning decisions under the federal Natural Gas Act and takes effect 60 days after the law is passed.
