Pennsylvania HB1139 mandates water bottle filling stations in state buildings to promote reusable water bottles.

Pennsylvania HB1139 amends the Administrative Code of 1929 to require the Department of General Services to install water bottle filling stations in state buildings. The bill aims to encourage the use of reusable water bottles instead of single-use disposable bottles or sugar-sweetened beverages. Stations must comply with the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act and other plumbing standards, and cannot be accessible to the mouth of a drinker, subject to immersion, or installed within a restroom.
