An Act amending the act of June 27, 1996 (P.L.403, No.58), known as the Community and Economic Development Enhancement Act, renaming the Department of Community and Economic Development to the Department of Housing and Community Development; and making a repeal and editorial changes.
HB 2160 renames Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development to the Department of Housing and Community Development. The bill updates the department's name throughout the 1996 Community and Economic Development Enhancement Act to reflect this change, including revisions to the act's title and definitions. These are editorial adjustments that do not alter the department's existing functions, responsibilities, or programs. The change aims to align the department's name with its focus on housing alongside community development.
