Chamber Passed·6/24/26
Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB2437 amends the unconventional gas well fee to allocate funds for bridge improvements and repairs.

HB2437 modifies the distribution of unconventional gas well fees in Pennsylvania. It allocates 40% of the remaining revenue to the Marcellus Legacy Fund, which is then distributed to counties for bridge improvements. Twenty-five percent of these funds go to the Highway Bridge Improvement Restricted Account to repair or replace locally owned at-risk deteriorated bridges. Counties can submit plans for bridge improvements, regardless of federal aid eligibility. First and second-class counties can also use these funds to improve bridges owned by public transportation authorities.
