SB 755 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of November 27, 2019 (P.L.667, No.92), entitled "An act abolishing numerous State authorities, boards, commissions, committees, councils and representatives; and making related repeals," further providing for State authorities, boards, commissions, committees, councils and representatives abolishment; providing for composition of Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, for transfer of duties and for duty of Secretary of the Commonwealth relating to Interstate Rail Passenger Advisory Council Compact; further providing for repeals; and abrogating an executive order.

SB 755 abolishes 19 state advisory bodies, including the Climate Change Advisory Committee and Canine Health Board, transferring their duties to existing departments (e.g., Secretary of Agriculture assumes Canine Health Board responsibilities). It revises the composition of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, requiring bipartisan appointments from legislative leaders and adding specific roles like the Attorney General. The bill also repeals outdated provisions in the Dog Law and Pennsylvania Climate Change Act that referenced the abolished entities. These changes streamline state governance by eliminating redundant advisory structures while updating related legal references.
