Pennsylvania Senate Bill Would Require Legislative Approval of Economically Significant Regulations

Scope: State (Pennsylvania)

Branch: Legislative

Severity: Amber

Date occurred: June 11, 2025

SB 333 would amend Pennsylvania's Regulatory Review Act to revise procedures for review of proposed, final-form, and final-omitted regulations, create a mechanism deeming certain regulations withdrawn, and require a concurrent resolution of the General Assembly for economically significant regulations to take effect. The bill was referred to the Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs and Operations on June 11, 2025.

Constitutional basis: Would condition executive agency rulemaking on affirmative legislative approval, a significant expansion of existing review authority; bill remains in committee with no outcome.
