The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting on a recent decision regarding Act 13: “A Pennsylvania appeals court on Thursday issued a split decision on the state’s oil and gas law, rejecting some challenges to the 2012 update to the drilling rules but affirming the rights of municipalities to regulate the location of oil and gas development.” More? “The court rejected the state’s argument that the Public Utility Commission still has the authority to judge municipal ordinances that regulate oil and gas development *** the court found that since the uniform zoning provisions of the law were thrown out, the law’s special system for reviewing ordinances must also fall.”
