Fwd: Coronavirus information - Pa. Municipal Solicitors - MPC matters
HB 1564, attached, would be a big help. Thanks to Neil for attaching it.
My personal view has been that the Governor's declarations and orders carry with it the inherent authority to suspend and modify statutory and other requirements. See also 35 Pa.C.S. section 7501(d). But do we really want to spend the next two years litigating that issue? Rhetorical question. The legislation is most welcome.

Given that this opinion was issued prior to Governor Wolf’s directive at the end of last week to close all non-life sustaining businesses, has anyone seen anything different on this which enables a Zoning Hearing Board to delay hearings? Construction, unless it is an emergency, is not to be going on, and the particular municipal office that this relates to, except for essential staff, is closed.
Also, how is anyone dealing with building permits?
Thank you –

I think the bill may be missing the word ",hear" at the end of line 28 in Section f.
Also, it doesn't seem to help in a situation where the length of time between regular zhb meeting is 30 days (as usual) and more than the number of days that the disaster declaration is/was pending. (This is separate and aside, of course, from any inherent authority to delay hearings).
