Pennsylvania HB50 amends the Water Services Act to redefine "authority" and "city" for municipal authority approval actions.

Pennsylvania HB50 amends the Water Services Act to redefine "authority" and "city" for municipal authority approval actions. The bill specifies that an authority must be a body politic and corporate that provides water or sewer services to residents of municipalities outside the city's boundaries, with the number of such residents exceeding by at least 50% the number of residents within the city. The bill also defines "city" as a third-class city, including those with a population of not more than 30,000. The changes will take effect in 60 days.
