Bill Summary

An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in neighborhood blight reclamation and revitalization, further providing for municipal permit denial.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to provide further provisions for municipal permit denial. The key changes are: (1) municipalities can deny permits to applicants who own property with delinquent taxes, water/sewer/refuse charges, or unabated serious code violations, but cannot deny permits needed to correct violations; (2) municipalities must provide specific details about the property and court proceedings when denying a permit; and (3) limited liability corporations and their principals must disclose any delinquencies or unabated violations on properties they own, with a $500 fine for failure to do so.
