SB 71 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act designating the Pennsylvania Judicial Center as the Chief Justice Robert N. C. Nix, Jr. Judicial Center; and imposing duties on the Department of General Services.

This bill renames Pennsylvania's Harrisburg judicial building as the "Chief Justice Robert N. C. Nix, Jr. Judicial Center." It directly affects the building itself and requires the Department of General Services to install plaques or markers with the new name. The key provision is the mandatory installation of signage, with no substantive policy changes or new legal requirements beyond the naming designation. The bill has no impact on laws, services, or citizens' rights - it is purely a ceremonial renaming.
