HB 1718: An Act amending Title 40 (Insurance) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for flood insurance notification; imposing duties on the Insurance Department; and imposing a penalty.

HB 1718 requires Pennsylvania insurance companies to notify homeowners when they purchase or renew a standard homeowner's insurance policy about the availability and cost of separate flood insurance coverage. The law mandates that insurers provide a clear, stand-alone written notice (by mail or email) explaining that homeowner's insurance typically doesn't cover floods, highlighting flood risks even outside designated flood zones, and detailing how to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers - including estimated costs. The Insurance Department must create a model disclosure form containing these required elements and can enforce compliance, imposing penalties of up to $10,000 per violation for non-compliance. This bill directly affects homeowners purchasing or renewing homeowner's policies and insurers operating in Pennsylvania.

HB 2322: An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in support of the indigent, repealing provisions relating to relatives' liability and procedure.

HB 2323: An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in military educational programs, further providing for definitions, for eligibility, for certification of eligibility, for grants, for amount of grants, for limitations and for recoupment of grant payments.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's military educational assistance program by clarifying eligibility requirements and service obligations for National Guard and reserve component members. It establishes that eligible members must sign a promissory note agreeing to repay grant funds if they fail to complete their required service commitment, which ranges from six years for National Guard members to eight years for federal reserve members. The legislation also allows for successive grant certificates upon completing initial obligations and permits members who receive other-than-dishonorable discharges to retain a proportional share of earned benefits if they meet specific conditions. These changes apply to members of the Pennsylvania National Guard and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces seeking educational assistance through the state program.

HB 2324: A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for exemptions and special provisions relating to property tax relief for disabled first responders.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish property tax relief for first responders in Pennsylvania who become disabled due to injuries or illnesses sustained while performing their official duties. The amendment would require the General Assembly to create uniform general laws providing these tax exemptions and special provisions for affected individuals. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters, this change would permanently modify the state constitution to ensure ongoing property tax relief for disabled first responders. The bill currently requires passage by the General Assembly and subsequent voter approval to become effective.
