Maddy summaryPennsylvania House Bill 2748 significantly expands the state's employer child care contribution tax credit for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. The bill increases the maximum amount of employee contributions that count toward the credit from $500 to $10,000 per employee and raises the credit rate from 30% to 100% of those qualifying contributions. To manage funding, the legislation caps total annual credits at $10 million and includes a proration mechanism that proportionally reduces individual claims if the total demand exceeds this limit.

Maddy summaryPennsylvania House Bill 2728 amends state corporate law to prohibit business corporations, nonprofit corporations, and limited liability companies from directly or indirectly engaging in election activity or ballot question activity. The bill revokes existing general powers granted to these entities and re-grants them with specific exclusions for political spending, defining such activities as paying or contributing money to support or oppose candidates, political parties, or ballot measures. Any language in a corporate charter that purports to authorize this political activity is declared void, and any such activity conducted by an entity is considered ultra vires and legally invalid. Entities that violate these provisions face the automatic forfeiture of their charter privileges, including limited liability and perpetual duration, until they fully disgorge funds and certify future compliance. The Attorney General is authorized to pursue civil actions for injunctive relief and enforcement against non-compliant entities.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a ceremonial resolution that designates June 12, 2026, as "Women Veterans Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the contributions of female military service members. The measure does not create new laws or change any government policies; instead, it serves to formally acknowledge the state's approximately 70,000 women veterans and highlight their growing presence in the armed forces. The text includes background information on the history of women in the military and notes specific challenges they face, such as higher rates of military sexual trauma and lower utilization of veteran benefits. Ultimately, the resolution aims to raise awareness about these issues rather than implementing concrete programs or funding changes.

Maddy summaryHB 36 amends Pennsylvania's 1929 Administrative Code to clarify the Office of State Inspector General's structure and authority. It adds a definition for "enforcement officer" as staff meeting specific criteria (including prior law enforcement classification under 71 Pa.C.S. § 5102), employed by the office to enforce duties under Section 506-A. The bill also explicitly grants enforcement officers the authority to carry firearms during official duties after completing required basic and annual firearms training, subject to the Inspector General's written policies. The changes take effect immediately upon enactment.

Maddy summaryThis Pennsylvania bill requires health insurance companies to cover fertility preservation services for individuals facing medically necessary cancer treatments that could cause infertility. The law mandates that insurers include at least three years of egg, sperm, or ovarian tissue storage at an in-network facility, with a minimum lifetime benefit of $100,000 per person. While the coverage must follow standard policy rules like deductibles and copayments, religious employers are allowed to request exemptions if the services conflict with their beliefs, provided they notify patients and allow them to buy separate supplemental insurance.

Maddy summaryThis Pennsylvania House resolution urges the U.S. Congress to review the actions of Major Richard D. Winters during World War II and award him the Congressional Medal of Honor. The bill highlights Winters' leadership at Heteren Crossroads in Holland in 1944, where he led a small force against a larger German unit, resulting in significant enemy casualties and preventing an attack on American headquarters. By formally requesting this review, the resolution aims to recognize Winters' military service and the events depicted in the television series Band of Brothers.

The bill proposes requiring all states to upgrade to more secure chip-enabled EBT cards and mandates that federal security regulations be updated at least every five years. It directly affects the millions of low-income individuals and families in Pennsylvania and across the country who rely on SNAP for food assistance. The measure aims to address rising instances of benefit theft through methods like card skimming and cloning, which have left many residents without food.
