SB 1121 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of July 7, 1980 (P.L.380, No.97), known as the Solid Waste Management Act, in enforcement and remedies, further providing for right of citizen to intervene in proceedings.

SB 1121 amends Pennsylvania's Solid Waste Management Act (1980) to clarify that citizens can join legal actions enforcing waste regulations without needing to post a bond. This change directly affects Pennsylvania residents concerned about violations of waste management laws, allowing them to participate in court cases without financial barriers. The bill modifies Section 615 of the Act to explicitly state that citizens with environmental concerns may intervene in enforcement proceedings under sections 604 or 605. It does not alter the types of cases citizens can pursue, only streamlining their ability to join existing legal actions.
