Pa. lawmakers to introduce bill to rein in masks worn by government agents

(Jul 23, 2025)

HARRISBURG, July 21 – A group of state House lawmakers are proposing a law to restore trust and public safety in government operations by seeing that all government agents and law enforcement officers operating within Pennsylvania do not conceal their official identities or wear masks during what they say have tragically become routine raids. Reps. Paul Friel, Joseph C. Hohenstein, Rick Krajewski, Chris Pielli, Abigail Salisbury, Greg Scott, Ben Waxman and Joe Webster released the following statement regarding their bill , which is being circulated for cosponsors and has yet to be assigned a number. “Trust and public safety are essential pillars of a secure community,” the lawmakers said. “When government agents and law enforcement conceal their faces and act without identification, it jeopardizes both of those pillars. “This legislation will ensure that the public is able to identify that someone is a government officer, strengthening the community's confidence in law enforcement, and protecting officers and community members from those who would use obscurity to cause harm.” Read more

PA House OKs Burgos bill to provide more fresh food options to underserved areas

(Apr 09, 2025)

HARRISBURG, April 9 – Legislation introduced by state Rep. Danilo Burgos to re-establish the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative passed the PA House today. House Bill 764 would restore the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative, which originally operated from 2004 to 2010. The program would once again provide grants for the construction, rehabilitation or expansion of grocery stores, farmers markers and other healthy food retail establishments in low- to moderate-income areas in need. “Restarting this program would allow us to help people who continue to suffer from hunger and malnourishment, as well as improve the quality of fresh produce available to people and promote local agricultural products throughout Pennsylvania,” Burgos said. “Food deserts continue to be serious problem in urban and rural areas alike. This program is proven to help with food insecurity, and it is time to restore it.” State Reps. Morgan Cephas, Nathan Davidson and Greg Scott joined Burgos in authoring the bill and advocating for its passage. Cephas, D-Phila., who serves as the Chairwoman of the Philadelphia House Delegation, said, “I’m very supportive of re-establishing the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative which was a successful lifeline for so many communities in Philadelphia. Rampant health issues including malnutrition and obesity can be linked to a lack of access to fresh foods and Read more

Scott, Gallagher celebrate ceremonial signing of license plate flipping device ban bill

(Mar 25, 2025)

HARRISBURG, March 25 – Today, state Reps. Greg Scott, D-Montgomery, and Pat Gallagher, D-Phila., joined Gov. Josh Shapiro for the ceremonial signing of their bill that bans license plate flipping devices in Pennsylvania. The bill was officially signed into law on Nov. 18, 2024, and it is known as Act 150 of 2024 . "License plate flipping devices have no place on our roads. They serve only to help bad actors evade accountability—whether it’s to dodge tolls, commit reckless driving, or even more serious crimes,” Scott said. “With this new law, we’re closing a dangerous loophole and making it clear that these devices are illegal across Pennsylvania. I’m proud to have worked with Rep. Gallagher and our colleagues to get this commonsense, bipartisan legislation to the governor’s desk, and I’m grateful to Governor Shapiro for signing it into law. This is a win for public safety and for every Pennsylvanian who wants safer, more accountable roads." “The signing of this bill will create accountability for Pennsylvania drivers, as it helps to close ambiguities that have existed in our state law which allow individuals to use these devices as loopholes to get out of making payments they owe,” Gallagher said. “I thank Gov. Shapiro for signing this important bill into law, Rep. Scott for working with me on it, and my colleagues in the PA legislature who passed it through Read more
