Pennsylvania needs clear rules that protect kids and responsible hemp businesses.

That’s the goal of my Senate Bill 1287, which passed both the House and Senate with unanimous support and now heads to the Governor’s desk to become law.
This common-sense legislation ensures adequate water resources are confirmed before final approval of subdivision and land development projects, helping communities plan responsibly and ensuring infrastructure can keep pace with growth.

The House Local Government Committee passed my Senate Bill 1287, which clarifies that proof of an adequate water supply must be provided 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥 of a subdivision or land development.
The requirement for water service already exists in state law. My bill simply makes clear 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝— before the final approval is granted.
This closes a procedural gap and helps ensure water infrastructure is secured before new development moves forward. The bill now heads to the full House for consideration.
