HB 862 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Governor and the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, to convey to Tioga County a tract of land, and to accept a tract of land from Tioga County, both tracts being located in Charleston Township, Tioga County.

HB 862 authorizes a land exchange between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Tioga County. Specifically, it allows the Department of General Services (with Governor and Military Affairs approval) to transfer a 0.431-acre parcel (Lot A) at the Wellsboro Readiness Center in Charleston Township to Tioga County, while accepting a comparable 0.431-acre parcel (Lot B) from the county. The bill prohibits the transferred land from being used for licensed facilities like nursing homes under Pennsylvania law. This exchange is intended to facilitate property management for the Wellsboro Readiness Center without altering land ownership beyond the specified parcels.
