Permitting and Regulatory Reform
State regulatory burdens have increased substantially in recent years, restricting employers’ ability to reinvest and grow in Pennsylvania. Projects have been delayed or cancelled due to a protracted permitting process and spurious litigation from third parties, causing existing facilities to struggle under a punitive, restrictive, and subjective regulatory environment. The PA Chamber supports reforms that enhance coordination, accountability, and communication between businesses and state agencies to attract and retain investment in key economic development and infrastructure.
