An Act amending the act of May 19, 1995 (P.L.33, No.3), known as the Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act, further providing for definitions.
HB 1713 amends the 1995 Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act by clarifying specific definitions within the law. It directly affects economic development agencies, fiduciaries, and lenders operating under this environmental liability protection framework. The bill's key mechanism is updating terminology to improve clarity and consistency in how environmental liability protections apply. This procedural amendment focuses on refining the legal language rather than changing substantive protections. The bill passed final passage on November 19, 2025, and was referred to the Urban Affairs & Housing committee.
