An Act amending the act of November 10, 1999 (P.L.491, No.45), known as the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions.

HB 516 amends Pennsylvania's Construction Code Act by adding specific definitions for "recreational cabin" and "recreational campground" to clarify how the code applies to these structures. The bill defines a recreational cabin as a structure not used as a residence, for commercial purposes (except in campgrounds or state parks), limited to two stories, and meeting other usage criteria. It also defines a recreational campground as an establishment with five or more designated campsites offering amenities like hookups or pools, allowing seasonal stays but excluding RV/tent campsites in state parks. These definitions help local governments, property owners, and developers consistently apply the construction code to recreational properties.
