HB 2370: An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for imposition of tax and for requirement of withholding tax.

It applies this reduced rate to income earned by residents and nonresidents from sources within the state. Additionally, the legislation requires employers to withhold taxes from employee paychecks in a way that accounts for this temporary rate change.

Additionally, the bill sets specific rules for long-term power contracts used by default service providers and gives the state commission authority to define what qualifies as a hyperscale data center.

HB 2368: An Act providing for standardized human trafficking screening and intervention protocols in health care facilities; imposing duties on the Department of Health; and providing for training and enforcement.

This bill requires Pennsylvania health care facilities, including emergency departments and urgent care centers, to adopt standardized protocols for identifying and assisting patients who may be victims of human trafficking. The Department of Health is tasked with creating these guidelines within 180 days, which will include trauma-informed screening questions, private interview procedures, and specific steps for referring individuals to support services even if they do not wish to involve law enforcement. To ensure staff are prepared, the law mandates that all clinical and patient-facing employees complete initial training upon hiring and undergo continuing education every two years. Additionally, facilities must annually report de-identified data on screenings and referrals to the Department of Health, which will then submit a summary report to the General Assembly.

HB 2364: An Act amending the act of October 10, 1975 (P.L.383, No.110), known as the Physical Therapy Practice Act, further providing for definitions, for training and license required and exceptions and for physical therapist assistant, education and examination, scope of duties and certification.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Physical Therapy Practice Act to formally define "dry needling" and expand the scope of services available to licensed physical therapists. It mandates that only physical therapists who complete a board-approved certification program may perform dry needling, while explicitly excluding this practice from the duties of physical therapist assistants. The legislation also clarifies the definitions of physical therapy to include a broader range of interventions such as mechanical stimulation and wellness promotion. These changes aim to standardize training requirements and delineate the specific responsibilities of different therapy professionals within the state.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act to update definitions and clarify rules for customer-owned renewable energy systems. It specifically expands the definition of "customer-generator" to include larger systems up to 3,000 kilowatts and establishes new requirements for large systems between 50 and 3,000 kilowatts, such as needing independent electric load and limiting system size to 200% of annual consumption. The legislation also adds precise definitions for terms like "avoided cost," "brownfield," and "commercial rooftop" to improve clarity within the existing energy framework. These changes directly affect electric utilities, renewable energy installers, and customers who generate their own power by standardizing how these systems connect to the grid and are compensated.
