SB 216 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in storm water management plans and facilities, further providing for fees.

SB 216 modifies Pennsylvania's Second Class Township Code to establish rules for storm water management fees. It allows townships to charge property owners fees based on benefits from storm water systems, with strict limits tied to federal water laws. The bill specifically protects agricultural properties: fees for farms with under 30% covered surfaces cannot exceed twice the township's median fee, and additional reductions apply for conservation costs tied to water quality plans. All collected fees must fund storm water management, and property owners must submit annual documentation to qualify for agricultural fee reductions.
