FPR Bill Passed in House with bipartisan support

House Bill 586 codifies best management practices for the use of food processing residuals, ensuring these materials are handled responsibly and with appropriate oversight. Without clear standards in place, unregulated application of FPRs poses risks to the environment, local property values, and the well-being of nearby residents.

The House passed HB586 on third consideration with a vote of 172-29, marking a significant advancement in Pennsylvania's environmental and agricultural stewardship efforts.
