This Pennsylvania Senate resolution (SR 202) formally recognizes December 13, 2025, as "Wreaths Across America Day" within the state.

As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic observance.

HB 2073: An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in commercial drivers, further providing for disqualification; in general provisions relating to operation of vehicles, further providing for obedience to traffic-control devices; and imposing penalties.

HB 2073 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle laws to increase penalties for commercial drivers who disobey traffic-control devices like stop signs or traffic lights. A commercial driver faces a lifetime disqualification from operating commercial vehicles for a third or subsequent violation. For each violation, the driver must pay a $1,000 fine for a first offense or $5,000 for subsequent offenses, and their employer must pay an additional $1,000 (first offense) or $5,000 (subsequent offenses). Fines collected under this law will partially fund the Public Transportation Trust Fund.

HB 2075: An Act amending Title 61 (Prisons and Parole) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, further providing for reentry supervision.

HB 2075 amends Pennsylvania's prison and parole laws to clarify who must undergo reentry supervision after release from prison. It specifies that reentry supervision does not apply to individuals sentenced to death, life imprisonment, those ineligible for parole, or people subject to mandatory probation for certain sexual offenses. This change affects the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole by narrowing the scope of its oversight to specific offenders. The bill aims to define reentry supervision requirements more precisely for eligible individuals.

HB 2078: An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in financial responsibility, further providing for special provisions relating to premiums.

HB 2078 limits annual premium increases for private passenger auto insurance in Pennsylvania. It prohibits insurers from raising premiums by more than 5% annually for policyholders without certain traffic violations (listed in Section 1535 of the law). This applies to all policies offered, issued, or renewed in Pennsylvania after the law takes effect. The bill directly affects auto insurance customers by capping annual rate hikes for those with clean driving records.

HR 376: A Resolution urging the President and Congress of the United States to address the critical issue of veteran suicides by ensuring that the Department of Veterans Affairs provides comprehensive and accurate data to inform effective prevention strategies, thereby honoring the sacrifices of all who have served.

This Pennsylvania House resolution (HR 376) urges the federal government to require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to include National Guard and Reserve veterans' suicides in its annual suicide prevention reports. Currently, VA reports exclude these veterans due to service criteria (like 90 consecutive days of active duty), and misclassify some deaths, creating inaccurate data. The resolution demands the VA adopt comprehensive data collection to better understand suicide risks and develop effective prevention strategies for all veterans. It specifically calls for including National Guard/Reserve suicides and correcting misclassified deaths in VA reports.

HB 2074: An Act amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in voter registration, further providing for residence of electors; and, in uniform military and overseas voters, further providing for definitions.

HB 2074 amends Pennsylvania’s election laws to clarify voter residency rules for military personnel, state/federal employees, and overseas voters. It ensures military members and their spouses (employed by federal/state governments) retain voting registration in their prior Pennsylvania district without needing a street address, while requiring annual verification of employment status. The bill also tightens the definition of "overseas voter" to require that such voters have a parent or guardian who last resided in Pennsylvania before leaving the U.S. These changes directly affect active-duty military, government employees, and U.S. citizens born abroad with Pennsylvania ties.

HB 2077: An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in parking authorities, providing for parking tickets.

HB 2077 limits parking enforcement in Pennsylvania by prohibiting municipalities, parking authorities, or the Commonwealth from issuing more than one parking ticket per vehicle per day. It also requires a 14-day grace period before fines can be applied for overdue tickets and mandates municipal approval for changes to parking rates or enforcement hours. The bill bans performance-based pay raises, bonuses, or financial incentives for employees tied to the number of tickets issued. These provisions directly affect drivers receiving parking citations, local governments managing parking, and contracted parking enforcement companies. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.

HR 377: A Resolution directing the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct an effectiveness and results audit and issue a report on all existing incentives for public school district consolidation and sharing of services, and to make recommendations related to incentivizing the reorganization, consolidation and shared services of school districts of a specific enrollment size.

This resolution directs Pennsylvania's Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to audit all current incentives for public school district consolidation and shared services. The audit will examine why these incentives aren't being used (as no districts have voluntarily consolidated since 2009), review other states' approaches, and assess how to better incentivize consolidation for districts of specific enrollment sizes. The committee must issue a report with findings and recommendations to the General Assembly within one year. This process does not create new policies but aims to inform future decisions about school district reorganization.

HB 2079: An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, establishing the Budget Impasse Reimbursement Program.

HB 2079 establishes a program to reimburse eligible entities - such as school districts, counties, human services providers, Pre-K programs, and Head Start providers - for documented financing costs or lost interest income caused by delays in passing the state budget (defined as the period from July 1, 2025, until the 2025-2026 budget takes effect). The program is funded primarily by "impasse-generated interest" (interest earned from delayed state spending during the budget impasse), with the legislature providing additional funds if needed. The Office of the Budget will administer the program, including processing applications and reporting annually on reimbursements, funding sources, and recipient details.

HB 2060: An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for pain parity in Medicaid and for pain parity in commercial insurance.

HB 2060 requires Pennsylvania's Medicaid program and private commercial insurers to provide equal coverage for non-opioid and opioid medications used to treat pain. It prohibits insurers from designating non-opioid pain drugs as "non-preferred" when opioids are preferred, imposing stricter prior authorization requirements on non-opioids, or placing non-opioids in higher-cost tiers than opioids. The law applies immediately to any FDA-approved pain medication, affecting Medicaid beneficiaries and private insurance customers across Pennsylvania. This policy change ensures that patients have equal access to both non-opioid and opioid treatment options without discriminatory coverage barriers.

HB 2061: An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in computer data center equipment incentive program, further providing for application for certification and for eligibility requirements.

HB 2061 amends Pennsylvania's tax code to add new requirements for data center owners seeking tax incentives under the computer data center equipment program. It requires applicants to submit an affirmation that all contractors and subcontractors for construction, renovation, demolition, or similar work (starting July 1, 2025) will pay workers at least the Pennsylvania prevailing wage rate, as defined by the state's prevailing wage law. This applies regardless of whether the project would otherwise qualify for prevailing wage coverage under existing law. The bill directly affects data center developers planning major construction or renovation projects after July 2025 to qualify for tax incentives.

HB 2062: An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania State Police, providing for special emergency response teams.

HB 2062 establishes six specialized emergency response teams within the Pennsylvania State Police, one for each of six designated geographic regions (Northwest, North Central, Northeast, Southeast, Central-South Central, and Southwest). These teams will handle incidents requiring rapid, tactical responses, with the State Police Commissioner setting their duties and mandatory training requirements. The training covers critical skills like safe building entry, team communication during operations, threat identification under stress, and preventing friendly fire. The bill mandates that the Commissioner develop selection criteria for team members and distribute these to regional stations.
