An Act amending the act of November 21, 1990 (P.L.539, No.133), known as the Cave Protection Act, further providing for penalties.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2741 amends the state's Cave Protection Act to introduce a new penalty option for individuals convicted of violating cave-related laws.

This provision directly affects people found guilty of damaging or improperly accessing caves, aiming to address environmental harm through direct cleanup efforts.
