An Act amending the act of June 25, 1982 (P.L.633, No.181), known as the Regulatory Review Act, further providing for proposed regulations and procedures for review.
HB 124 amends Pennsylvania's Regulatory Review Act to require state agencies to provide detailed documentation when adopting guidance from international bodies like the World Health Organization, United Nations, or World Economic Forum. Specifically, agencies must submit a regulatory analysis form including (1) a statement showing how the international guidance applies to Pennsylvania, and (2) a detailed explanation of the data source used to justify its applicability, with the burden of proof on the agency. This applies to all new proposed regulations that reference such international guidance. The bill adds these requirements to the existing review process for state regulations, effective 60 days after enactment.
