Gov. Tom Wolf Vetoes Bill that Needlessly Hinders Protections for Pennsylvania Communities #Environment #Veto

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed Senate Bill 562 – a piece of legislation that would have needlessly delayed the state’s ability to implement important public health and environmental protections.

“We fully support Gov. Wolf’s decision to veto SB 562. Pennsylvania already has one of the most lengthy and thorough regulatory review processes of any state in the nation – including outside review of proposed rules by an independent commission, review by the legislature and multiple opportunities for public comment. This bill was nothing more than an effort to prevent the Commonwealth from adopting common-sense protections. We applaud Governor Wolf for taking a stand and saying enough is enough.”
