The Pennsylvania House of Representatives and the Republican Caucus continued advancing its priorities of providing for an economic recovery, protecting families and reforming government for the benefit of Pennsylvanians. Action on economic recovery included a bill to help Pennsylvania’s restaurants and liquor license holders maximize the benefits of their liquor licenses. Another will provide COVID-19 liability protection for Pennsylvania’s businesses, and yet another is aimed at helping local volunteer fire and ambulance services with Small Games of Chance licenses conduct fundraisers during COVID-19. Other bills are aimed at providing greater economic mobility for health care professionals, and helping small businesses conduct business during states of emergency. Other action addressed updates to the requirements of the Family Caregiver Support Act; making Pennsylvania roads safer by being tougher on repeat DUI offenders; and creating a two-year civil liability window for claims of child sexual abuse that are barred due to the statute of limitations. Yet other action addresses making daylight saving time permanent; better oversight of the Delaware River Toll Bridge Commission; and allowing minors to operate lemonade stands without government interference.
