This week, we bid a fond farewell to colleagues who are wrapping up their time as PA Reps. I'm highlighting 3 of our Chairs, who are retiring after decades of service, starting with Rep. Mary Jo Daley, Chair of the Tourism & Economic & Recreational Development Committee.

Safe schools = students who can focus on learning. 🏫 The House passed legislation requiring schools to consider panic alarm systems during their annual security assessments. Another step toward safer classrooms across Pennsylvania. #PAHouse #MadameSpeaker

AI can do a lot. But making unchecked decisions about your healthcare shouldn’t be one of them. The House advanced legislation to put safeguards around how AI can be used in healthcare. Technology is changing and we’re making sure protections keep up. #PAHouse
