An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in administrative organization, further providing for departmental administrative boards, commissions, and offices; in organization of departmental administrative boards and commissions and of advisory boards and commissions, further providing for advisory boards and commissions and repealing provisions relating to Environmental Quality Board; in powers and duties of the Department of Agriculture and its departmental administrative commission, further providing for seasonal farm labor; in powers and duties of the Department of Environmental Resources, its officers and departmental and advisory boards and commissions, further providing for Environmental Quality Board and for powers of Environmental Quality Board.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Administrative Code of 1929, which governs the organization and duties of state government departments, boards, and commissions. It restructures administrative oversight within the Department of Environmental Protection by removing the Environmental Quality Board from a list of departmental administrative bodies and detailing the composition of the Citizens Advisory Council. Additionally, the bill updates the listing of various other administrative boards and commissions across several state agencies and includes new provisions related to seasonal farm labor under the Department of Agriculture. These changes primarily affect the internal structure and operational frameworks of state government.
