Maddy summaryHB 1929 designates an annual "Charlie Kirk Day" in Pennsylvania for commemoration. The bill requires the governor to issue a yearly proclamation recognizing Charlie Kirk, though the bill does not specify his role or contributions. This is a procedural, symbolic measure with no policy changes, funding, or direct impact on residents or programs. It remains pending in the Tourism, Recreation & Economic Development committee.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates April 8, 2026, as "THON Day" in Pennsylvania to honor a student-run fundraising event at Pennsylvania State University that raises money to fight pediatric cancer. The resolution recognizes the event's efforts to support Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Golisano Children's Hospital, which provides treatment, research, and family support for children with cancer. It highlights the significant contributions of over 16,500 volunteers and the millions of dollars raised through the 46-hour dance marathon. The measure serves as a formal acknowledgment of the event's impact and the dedication of the students and organizations involved.

Maddy summaryHB 2256 amends Pennsylvania's theft laws to clarify when a theft offense is classified as a felony of the third degree. It specifies that theft becomes a third-degree felony if the stolen property is valued over $2,000, involves certain vehicles (such as automobiles, motorcycles, or motorboats), includes human remains, or occurs when a person in the business of buying or selling stolen property receives the goods. The bill also defines "human remains" to include any part of a dead body or cremated remains. This change directly affects individuals convicted of theft and how courts categorize these offenses for sentencing.

Maddy summaryThis resolution designates March 8, 2026, as "Charter Day" and Pennsylvania's 345th birthday, commemorating the 1681 charter granted to William Penn by King Charles II. It urges Pennsylvania residents, schools, and historical organizations to participate in events hosted by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and related institutions. The resolution is non-binding and aligns with the Commission's existing annual observance of this date. It does not create new laws or affect policy, but formally recognizes a historical milestone.

Maddy summaryHB 788 amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code of 1971 to adjust tax rates for mutual thrift institutions (like credit unions and mutual banks) operating in the state. It gradually reduces their annual tax rate from 8.99% in 2025 down to 4.99% by 2033, with specific rates set for each year through 2033. The bill also extends the period for carrying forward net losses from three to ten years when calculating tax deductions. This directly affects mutual thrift institutions by lowering their tax burden over time and changing how they can offset past losses against current income.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes January 27, 2026, as "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" within Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups; it is a ceremonial observance acknowledging the historical significance of the Holocaust and the UN-established date. The resolution cites the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945, and the UN's 2005 designation of this date for global remembrance. Pennsylvania's recognition aligns with the UN resolution's purpose of honoring Holocaust victims and promoting human rights education.

Maddy summaryHB 1375 requires Pennsylvania's Public School Employees' Retirement Board and State Employees' Retirement Board to livestream all public meetings and post unedited video and written records online for at least three years. The bill clarifies that certain sensitive investment details - like confidential financial information from alternative investments - can be withheld from public access under the Right-to-Know Law if disclosure would cause competitive harm or breach fiduciary duties. However, specific investment data must remain public, including the name, manager, and funding amounts for alternative investment vehicles. This bill directly affects how retirement boards manage transparency and public access to their investment decisions. It focuses on procedural transparency rather than changing benefit amounts or eligibility.

Maddy summaryHR 328 is a procedural resolution designating October 5-11, 2025, as "Fire Prevention Week" in Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws or allocate funds; it solely recognizes this week for public awareness about fire safety. The resolution directly affects Pennsylvania residents by highlighting fire prevention efforts during the designated dates. This is a symbolic gesture with no concrete policy changes, as confirmed by its referral to the Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committee.

Maddy summaryHB 2139 defines "cell-cultured protein" (lab-grown meat made from animal cells grown outside the animal) and prohibits its manufacturing, sale, delivery, holding for sale, or offering for sale in Pennsylvania. The bill directly affects companies developing or selling lab-grown meat products within the state. Key provisions establish a legal definition for this emerging food technology and ban all commercial transactions involving it. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment, creating a clear regulatory restriction on this specific food product type.

Maddy summaryHB 2130 renames the Fort Duquesne Bridge on U.S. Route 279 over the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh as the Franco Harris Bridge. This commemorative bill honors Franco Harris, the late Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame running back and community advocate, by renaming a specific bridge in his hometown. The bill does not create new policies or affect any regulations - its sole purpose is to rename the bridge. The legislation is procedural and has no direct impact on residents, businesses, or government operations.
