SB 225: An Act amending Title 26 (Eminent Domain) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in just compensation and measure of damages, providing for compensation for loss of goodwill.

SB 225 adds a new provision to Pennsylvania's eminent domain law, allowing business owners whose property is taken (or partially taken) to seek compensation for "loss of goodwill" - meaning the loss of customer loyalty, reputation, or community value tied to their location. It directly affects small businesses or property owners operating on land subject to eminent domain proceedings, requiring them to prove the loss was caused by the taking and not already covered in other compensation. Key mechanisms include allowing agencies to challenge claims if relocation was feasible, prohibiting additional goodwill during leaseback agreements, and permitting the use of confidential business tax returns to verify compensation amounts. The law applies retroactively to takings filed on or after January 1, 2024.

HB 1123: An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, further providing for coverage for colorectal cancer screening.

HB 1123 updates Pennsylvania's 1921 Insurance Company Law to require casualty insurance policies to cover colorectal cancer screening without cost-sharing. This affects insured residents in Pennsylvania who need preventive screenings, ensuring they face no copays or deductibles for this specific health service. The key provision mandates insurers to include coverage for colon cancer screenings as a standard benefit under casualty insurance policies. The bill passed final passage on October 29, 2025, and is now pending implementation under the Banking & Insurance committee. This change directly removes financial barriers for early detection of colorectal cancer through existing insurance coverage.

SB 746: An Act amending the act of November 24, 1976 (P.L.1176, No.261), known as the Manufactured Home Community Rights Act, providing for residents' right to purchase manufactured home community; and further providing for remedies.

SB 746 gives residents of manufactured home communities in Pennsylvania the right to purchase their community when it's sold. When a community owner plans to sell, they must notify all residents, the resident association (if one exists), and local housing agencies at least 90 days in advance, detailing the sale price and terms. Residents represented by a group owning at least 25% of spaces can then submit a competing offer within 90 days, forcing the owner to pause other sales for 120 days while they prepare their offer and negotiate in good faith. The bill also adds legal remedies, allowing residents to seek court action to stop non-compliant sales within 90 days of the transfer. This directly affects manufactured home residents and community owners across Pennsylvania.

SB 743: An Act amending the act of December 5, 1936 (2nd Sp.Sess., 1937 P.L.2897, No.1), known as the Unemployment Compensation Law, in administration of act, further providing for State Unemployment Compensation Advisory Counsel.

SB 743 amends Pennsylvania's 1936 Unemployment Compensation Law to require the Department of Labor and Industry to submit an annual report by March 1st evaluating the unemployment fund's financial health. The report must include specific, detailed unemployment statistics - such as the percentage of long-term unemployed individuals, job losers, discouraged workers, and marginally attached workers relative to the civilian labor force. This requirement applies directly to the state department, which must also post the report online. The bill does not change benefit eligibility or funding but adds standardized data collection for transparency and program oversight. (This is a procedural reporting change, not a substantive policy shift.)

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Taxpayer Relief Act to change the deadline for senior citizens to apply for property tax and rent rebates. Under the new rules, eligible individuals must file their claims by December 31 of the year following the tax year, replacing the previous June 30 cutoff. The legislation also removes the requirement that late-filed claims be accepted only if funds are available, allowing the state to process applications submitted after the deadline.

HB 2678: An Act amending Title 63 (Professions and Occupations (State Licensed)) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in powers and duties, further providing for definitions and providing for artificial intelligence.

This bill directs Pennsylvania state licensing boards to create rules governing how licensed professionals use artificial intelligence in their practice. It requires these boards to establish guidelines on when AI can be used, the level of human review needed for AI-generated work, and the obligation to inform clients if AI is used to create services or advice. The legislation also mandates that clients have the option to communicate directly with a human professional rather than solely through an AI system. By defining AI and generative AI within state law, the bill ensures that professional standards, ethical duties, and confidentiality rules remain clear even when technology is involved.
