Citation Presentation in Richland
Please join me in wishing Kathy Wilson a Happy Retirement effective September 16 after over 50 years. Well deserved! She has been cutting my hair since I was two years old. Cambria County Senior Expo
Mark your calendar for my annual Senior Expo in Johnstown on September 17! Thanks to the number of exhibitors and attendees we’ve had in the past, we’ve outgrown our previous location and have moved to The Galleria Mall in Johnstown! Admission is free and the expo will include door prizes, health screenings, and exhibitors from government agencies and senior citizens organizations. If you have any questions, please contact my office at 814-266-2277. I look forward to seeing you there! New Proposed State Health Regulations
Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania Department of Health recently proposed broad new health regulations. These latest proposed regulations are being pursued unilaterally by the governor outside of the legislative process – without input being sought from me or my colleagues. The public comment period is open through Sept. 21, and I encourage you to submit your comments to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission. Historic Settlement with Meta Includes Social Media Protections
Attorney General Dave Sunday announced Pennsylvania and a multistate coalition have reached a settlement with Meta, owner of Instagram and Facebook, assuring the social media giant will implement sweeping changes to age verification, limit children’s time on their platforms and cut kids’ access to harmful content. Read more about the settlement with Meta here. In recent years, I’ve worked with my colleagues to strengthen Pennsylvania laws against malicious deepfakes and AI child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and created the Task Force on Child Protection in the Digital Age. The Senate passed bills to enhance mandatory reporting requirements for AI CSAM and protect children from dangerous AI chatbot interaction. Technology opens doors for children, and we must ensure it’s used safely. Booking a Tour of Your State Capitol
Fall is a great time to tour your state Capitol, a National Historic Landmark featuring Renaissance designs, paintings, stained glass and furnishings by some of the best artisans in the world. Scheduling in advance is recommended, but walk-ins are welcome according to availability. Tours take approximately 30-45 minutes and are limited to 40 guests total per tour. Self-guided tours do not take place on weekends and holidays. More than the seat of Pennsylvania’s government, the Capitol is a magnificent symbol of the hopes and vision of the commonwealth that gave birth to a nation. Find details and book a tour here. Property Tax/Rent Rebate Application
The property tax/rent rebate application has been extended to December 31, 2026. If you need assistance filing your application or you are not sure if you are eligible for the program, please reach out to one of my district offices:
