An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Governor, to grant and convey to the Philadelphia Housing Authority certain lands situate in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County.
HB 1620 authorizes the state Department of General Services to transfer specific lands in Philadelphia to the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA), subject to the Governor's approval. This procedural bill directly affects the PHA by potentially expanding its land holdings for housing purposes. The key mechanism requires formal conveyance of the designated properties through state administrative channels. The bill does not create new programs or funding but facilitates a land transfer process. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as required.)
