This Pennsylvania House Resolution designates the week of September 14 through 20, 2026, as "Birth Center Week" to highlight the role of birth centers in maternal healthcare.

Under the new rules, the commission must publish proposed fee changes, hold a public hearing, and allow at least 30 days for written comments before finalizing any adjustments. The legislation also grants the Senate and House Game and Fisheries Committees the power to disapprove these fee changes within a set timeframe, requiring a two-thirds vote to override a governor's veto if the change is contested.

HB 2661: An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in pupils and attendance, further providing for residence and right to free school privileges; and, in charter schools, further providing for enrollment and notification.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Public School Code to standardize how school districts verify student residency and how cyber charter schools handle enrollment notifications. It requires parents to submit a specific, limited form with proof of address, such as a lease, utility bill, or driver's license, by March 1 each year, while exempting homeless students from these requirements. Additionally, the law mandates that cyber charter schools notify a student's local district within 10 business days of enrollment and requires parents to report any changes in address promptly. These measures aim to clarify administrative procedures for attendance and ensure that all students, including those in online charter programs, are properly registered in their districts.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code to create a Small Business Opportunity Program within Neighborhood Improvement Zones. It directs that any excess funds remaining in these zones after required payments must be used to satisfy debts and obligations before 25% of the baseline tax revenue is transferred to a dedicated fund for small business grants. To qualify for these grants, a business must be classified as a small business, employ at least one full-time worker for 35 hours a week, and have filed all required state tax returns.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to give the state department authority to require child care centers to maintain financial reserves or insurance covering at least thirty days of operations. It also mandates that any child care facility planning to close must provide written notice to the department, staff, and parents at least thirty days in advance, including a plan for record preservation. Facilities that fail to give proper notice may face liability for parents' lost wages or care costs during the violation period, except in cases of declared disaster emergencies.
