HB 624 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in public utility facilities, further providing for adjustment.

HB 624 amends Pennsylvania law to streamline adjustments when state highway projects affect public utility infrastructure, directly impacting the Department of Transportation (DOT) and utility companies (including water/sewer providers and telecom services). It allows the DOT to work with utilities to relocate or adjust infrastructure during road construction, with cost-sharing agreements between the state and utilities. If cost-sharing disputes arise, the DOT can seek a ruling from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. The bill also ensures utilities receive reimbursement similar to municipalities under existing highway law, effective 60 days after enactment.
