Khan and Colleagues Announce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Pennsylvanians from Misuse of Flock and License Plate Reader Data

(Aug 10, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

HARRISBURG, Aug. 10 — State Reps. Tarik Khan, D-Phila.; Robert Leadbeter, R-Columbia; Jennifer O’Mara, D-Delaware; Napoleon Nelson, D-Montgomery; and Nate Davidson, D-Cumberland/Dauphin, today announced plans to introduce bipartisan legislation establishing statewide privacy and accountability protections for automated license plate reader systems, including Flock Safety cameras.License plate readers are becoming increasingly common across Pennsylvania. While the technology can assist law enforcement in recovering stolen vehicles and solving crimes, its expansion raises important questions about personal information, privacy, and civil liberties. Reports from around the country have documented concerns about misuse, including instances in which individuals with authorized access allegedly used the data to stalk former partners, track acquaintances, or conduct searches for personal reasons.

Lawmakers call for end to corporate money in politics

(Aug 05, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

NORRISTOWN, Aug. 5 – A coalition of state lawmakers gathered with election reform advocates in Centennial Park today to urge the passage of legislation that would rein in the nearly limitless influence that corporations have over elections. State Reps. Joe Webster, Tarik Khan and Paul Friel joined local advocates to formally announce House Bill 2728, a bill that would prohibit corporations from spending unlimited money on political ads and other communications in Pennsylvania. The legislation Webster, Khan and Friel co-wrote with Rep. Ben Waxman seeks to mitigate the influence that unlimited dark money has had on elections since 2010, when the U.S. Supreme Court in its Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision lifted the bans preventing corporations and organizations from using their funds to run political ads or broadcast messages supporting or attacking candidates. Webster said that in 2024 alone, federal elections saw over $4 billion in outside spending, nearly 12 times more than the amount spent in 2008. He said the trend has caused the voices of ordinary voters in U.S. elections to be drowned out by corporations seeking to gain more influence in government policymaking. Balancing the scales should be a top priority. “There are a hundred or more very important, complex, difficult issues that Pennsylvania and its legislators need to work on, head-on, and one of those is the political influence of Read more

House lawmakers propose bill to protect preventive medical care

(Jun 18, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

HARRISBURG, June 18 – As federal officials continue to threaten public health, state Reps. Arvind Venkat, Tarik Khan and Bridget Kosierowski, all healthcare professionals, have announced their intention to introduce legislation that would require insurers to continue to cover previously recommended forms of preventive care and allow the Pennsylvania Department of Health to update those recommendations based on the best scientific evidence informed by healthcare professional organizations. The proposed legislation would require insurers in Pennsylvania to cover all forms of preventive services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the Health Resources and Services Administration as of Jan. 1, 2025. These three agencies have seen significant leadership changes since that time, raising concerns over their independence and scientific credibility. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurers must cover preventive medical care services recommended by these federal bodies without patient financial responsibility. With the federal changes in these critical entities, Venkat said the validity of their recommendations is very much in question, threatening the insurance coverage of preventive medical care for all Pennsylvanians. “As a physician-legislator, I have seen how access to evidence-based preventive medical care is under attack,” said Venkat, Read more
