An Act amending Title 58 (Oil and Gas) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in unconventional gas well fee, further providing for Statewide initiatives.

Summary

The bill amends the state’s oil and gas fee structure so that 40% of the remaining revenue after standard distributions is placed in the Marcellus Legacy Fund. Twenty‑five percent of that amount is earmarked for a Highway Bridge Improvement account to help counties replace or repair deteriorated bridges, regardless of federal eligibility. Counties receive money based on population and must submit approved repair plans to the Department of Transportation.
