An Act amending Title 58 (Oil and Gas) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in development, further providing for well permits.

Maddy summaryHB 43 amends Pennsylvania's oil and gas law to change how well permit applicants must notify property owners and the public. It requires applicants to submit proof that they notified surface owners (using tax notice mailing lists from county assessment books) and water purveyors (via specific forms explaining their rights under existing law). The bill also mandates public notice through weekly newspaper publications in the local area for four consecutive weeks. These changes directly affect oil and gas companies applying for new well permits and impact surface landowners, water purveyors, and local communities through the new notification process. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
