Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania's drug laws to create a formal process for adding new opioid overdose reversal medications to state standing orders. It requires the Department of Health to review new drugs, accept public comments, and publish decisions within specific timeframes before updating the list of approved medications. The legislation also allows interested parties to petition for the reconsideration of previously rejected drugs if new information becomes available. By establishing these clear steps, the bill aims to streamline how emergency overdose treatments are authorized and made available for use.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates the membership rules for Pennsylvania's State Veterans' Commission to ensure broader representation of different veteran groups. It mandates that the commission include representatives from sixteen specific national veterans' organizations, such as the American Legion and VFW, along with four members appointed by the Governor who must be female or Vietnam-era veterans. The legislation also clarifies the roles of state-level leaders from the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and Veterans of Foreign Wars as nonvoting members. These changes aim to modernize the commission's composition while maintaining its existing structure under Pennsylvania law.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania law to prevent the chairperson of a borough vacancy board from voting to fill their own vacancy in an elective borough office. The change directly affects boroughs that use vacancy boards to fill empty seats and ensures that the board's chair cannot participate in deciding their own appointment. By removing the chairperson's vote in this specific situation, the legislation aims to reduce potential conflicts of interest during the selection process. The provision applies only to the chairperson's vote and does not alter other aspects of how vacancies are filled.

It adds specific legal definitions for manufacturers and wholesale distributors and allows approved pharmacies to accept unused prescription drugs from state medical assistance programs for dispensing to patients.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for program fees, storage regulations, and immunity for participants.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands Pennsylvania's PA EDGE tax credit program to support the creation of sustainable aviation fuel facilities within the state. It defines a "qualified taxpayer" as an entity that invests at least $400 million in construction, creates 400 permanent jobs, and adheres to local hiring and wage standards. Companies meeting these criteria can receive a tax credit of 75 cents per gallon of sustainable aviation fuel produced at their facility. Additionally, the legislation sets aside up to $30 million of existing unallocated funds specifically for this new initiative.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania's Municipalities Planning Code to update the required contents of local subdivision and land development ordinances. Specifically, it allows municipalities to permit new residential homes that replace demolished one- or two-family dwellings to follow the setback rules of the original structure if the new building is substantially similar in use and design. The change applies to cities, boroughs, towns, and townships across the state and requires local governments to provide these specific setback standards to building permit applicants. The legislation becomes effective 60 days after its passage.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania's Fiscal Code to create a permanent funding account for the Department of Human Services, specifically targeting support for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The new account will be funded by the net proceeds from the sale of former state centers for these individuals, as well as annual transfers from the General Fund based on budget cuts or estimated operational costs of closed facilities. These funds are designated to provide home and community-based supports, including housing assistance, for people on the emergency waiting list as of the start of each fiscal year. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that money in the account does not lapse and remains available for these specific services.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Pennsylvania's Regulatory Review Act to require agencies to submit a specific analysis alongside any proposed regulations related to fuel, energy, or electricity. The new provision mandates that these agencies explain how their rules might increase electricity costs and discuss the potential negative impacts on low-income residents. By adding this requirement, the legislation ensures that the Independent Regulatory Review Commission and relevant legislative committees receive more detailed information during the review process. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
