Pennsylvania HB2180 imposes requirements on the sale of lands containing certain State correctional institutions. The Department of Corrections must notify the county of the sale and offer 2% of the acreage for constructing and leasing affordable housing. If the county accepts, it must begin permitting for housing within five years and have units available for lease within ten years, or the land reverts to the Commonwealth. The act applies to sales of real estate on which a State correctional institution is located after the effective date.
