HB 2300: An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in sales and use tax, providing for mandatory reporting and remittance oversight authority.

This bill requires taxpayers with significant sales tax delinquencies or repeated failure to file returns to use an authorized third-party service provider for reporting and remitting taxes. It directly affects Pennsylvania businesses and individuals who owe more than $5,000 in delinquent sales tax or have three consecutive non-filed returns. The Department of Revenue would cover the service provider costs for the first year, after which the taxpayer pays, and could impose a $10,000 penalty for failing to enroll with an approved provider. The law takes effect 60 days after passage and allows taxpayers to continue using the service provider voluntarily after the mandatory period ends.

HB 2145 prohibits the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in specific consumer products sold in Pennsylvania, directly affecting manufacturers of these items. The bill bans intentionally added PFAS in cosmetics, dental floss, juvenile products (like baby mattresses and strollers), and menstrual products, while defining these terms precisely in Chapter 71 of Pennsylvania’s Commerce and Trade code. The Department of Environmental Protection will enforce the ban and impose penalties for violations.

HB 2109: An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preemptions, providing for occupancy limits.

HB 2109 prohibits Pennsylvania local governments (like cities, towns, and counties) from setting household size limits based on familial relationships (such as parents with children or roommates). It allows occupancy limits only for verified health/safety standards (like building codes) or to comply with federal/state affordable housing program rules. The bill directly affects renters, homeowners, and local officials who previously enforced such restrictions. Key definitions clarify that "familial relationship" includes blood, marriage, adoption, or foster care ties, and "local government unit" covers all Pennsylvania municipalities. This bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.

HB 916: An Act amending the act of November 3, 2022 (P.L.2135, No.150), known as the Childhood Blood Lead Test Act, further providing for title of act, for legislative purpose, for definitions, for lead poisoning prevention, assessment and testing, for duties of department and for blood lead assessment and testing coverage.

HB 916 amends Pennsylvania's Childhood Blood Lead Test Act to update requirements for lead screening and testing of children under 72 months and pregnant women. It defines key terms like "blood lead level" (measured in micrograms per deciliter) and establishes that lead poisoning is confirmed at 20 µg/dL or two tests showing 15 µg/dL over 90 days. The bill repeals older testing protocols and mandates healthcare providers to test children by age 2, follow up on elevated results within 12 weeks, and assess lead exposure risks for pregnant women. It clarifies that "screening" identifies risk in asymptomatic patients, while "diagnostic" testing confirms poisoning. The changes directly affect pediatric and prenatal care providers, insurers, and families in Pennsylvania.
