The Pennsylvania House of Representatives was in voting session from June 14-16, and the Republican Caucus continued advancing its priorities of providing for an economic recovery, protecting families and reforming government for the benefit of Pennsylvanians. House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff said among them are bills which will allow Pennsylvania farmers to defer income received from disaster-related crop insurance payments for one year, mirroring existing federal law. Another will allow barber and cosmetology programs to offer up to 50% of the program through online or remote instruction. Another bill will change the “sell by” date on milk to “best by.” Yet another will provide for an education program to assist in the early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder, and provide greater protections against elder abuse.
