An Act amending the act of June 28, 1995 (P.L.89, No.18), known as the Conservation and Natural Resources Act, in renaming Department of Environmental Resources and defining rulemaking authority of Department of Environmental Protection, repealing provisions relating to Department of Environmental Protection and providing for Department of Environmental Services; and making editorial changes.
HB 913 renames Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Environmental Services. The bill updates all references to the department in state law and outlines a phased transition for documents, signage, licenses, and computer systems to avoid disruption during the name change. It repeals outdated references to the "Department of Environmental Protection" while preserving existing powers, duties, and contracts. This is a procedural change with no impact on environmental policies or regulations.
