Issued: August 6, 2021; Last Updated: November 1,  2022

Pursuant to Act 30 of 2022, the suspensions of various regulatory provisions under the state disaster emergency declaration were extended until October 31, 2022, unless sooner reinstated by the Department. 

As of November 1, 2022, unless otherwise identified in the chart below, the suspended regulations have been reinstated. A list of the regulations that were suspended in whole or in part and their current status is available below. 

In addition, Act 98 of 2022 abrogated certain regulations, also identified below.

Please note that Act 30 of 2022 only affects state regulations that were suspended under the state disaster emergency declaration and were to be reinstated on June 30, 2022. 

Federal flexibilities provided through the federal public health emergency will remain in place as long as the federal public health emergency remains in effect. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) extended the federal public health emergency on October 13, 2022 to January 11, 2023 (90 days).  Please visit www.phe.gov/emergency regularly for updates on the federal public health emergency.  Also, in a letter to state governors dated January 22, 2021, the HHS Secretary indicated that HHS will provide states with 60-days' notice before terminating the federal declaration.
