HB 2304 - prohibiting the Department of Environmental Protection and the Environmental Quality Board

A copy of HB 2304 can be found Here

Act prohibiting the Department of Environmental Protection and the Environmental Quality Board from promulgating rules and regulations under certain acts.  If the PADEP or the EQB finds it necessary to make a change to benefit the health, safety, and welfare of the public.  This should be done in a timely manner and not require notification on a federal level, but should be open to public comment.

I believe this would result in unnecessary delays.  It is likely that the review process by the Department and EQB has already been working on this issue for a period of time and it is critical that we have "living" legislation to address concerns that develop because of technology or an activity that was not visioned.

Just my thoughts

PS: I would prefer changing state law to establishing guidance documents and policies.
