An Act providing for regulatory compliance.

SB 438 requires Pennsylvania state agencies to appoint a regulatory compliance officer. These officers must help regulated entities (like businesses and organizations subject to state rules) understand and follow regulations through education, clear communication channels, and resolving issues before penalties are applied. The bill mandates that officers provide written opinions on regulatory duties within 20 business days, which can serve as a defense in enforcement actions if requested in advance. Agencies must also establish support for new businesses and submit annual reports on compliance efforts.
