An Act amending Title 27 (Environmental Resources) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for decommissioning and repurposing of warehouses.

HB 2159 requires property owners of new warehouses to submit decommissioning plans and financial assurances before construction. It mandates decommissioning within 18 months after a warehouse ceases operation, with financial assurances increasing over time (10% at construction start, 30% at 5 years, 50% at 10 years). Property owners may instead pursue a department-approved repurposing plan to extend timelines, which must detail the new use, schedule, and future obligations. The Department of Community and Economic Development oversees compliance with these requirements for warehouses defined as large storage facilities under Pennsylvania law.
