Bill > SB143

This bill amends Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to prohibit municipalities from adopting policies that restrict or discriminate against utility service providers based on the type or source of energy they provide to individual consumers or entities within the municipality. It also clarifies that municipalities can still manage or operate publicly-owned utilities and take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and that a municipality's land use authority does not restrict an individual or entity's ability to choose a utility service provider. The bill includes definitions of key terms such as "municipality," "policy," and "utility service."
