On July 26, the Commonwealth Court decided Robinson Township v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Comm’n, No. 284 M.D. 2012, invalidating portions of the Oil and Gas Act amendments of 2012 (known as Act 13). Specifically, Robinson Township struck down the provisions of Act 13 constraining the application of local land use controls to oil and gas facilities and sustained others.
