HB 2530: An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in DNA data and testing, further providing for expungement.

HB 2530 updates Pennsylvania's DNA laws to allow for the automatic removal of DNA records from the State DNA Data Bank or Data Base in specific situations. The bill mandates that courts automatically expunge DNA profiles when a conviction is reversed with no pending appeals, when a person receives an unconditional pardon, or if the DNA was collected by mistake. However, the law excludes incarcerated individuals and those convicted of certain serious sex offenses or crimes committed before 1995 from using these automatic expungement provisions.

SB 1342: An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, further providing for billing.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Insurance Company Law to establish a direct billing system for nonnetwork emergency medical services (EMS) agencies. It requires insurers to directly reimburse these agencies for dispatched 911 services at a rate of 350% of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published rate, rather than billing patients directly. The legislation mandates that insurers pay these agencies within 45 days and prohibits them from forcing EMS agencies to sign contracts to receive this reimbursement. Additionally, the bill creates a public registry to track which EMS agencies are eligible for direct payment and restricts how these agencies can solicit donations related to billing practices.

SB 1333: An Act prohibiting employers from using consumer reporting under certain circumstances; and providing for enforcement.

This bill, known as the Equal Employment for All Act, prohibits employers in Pennsylvania from using credit reports to make hiring or firing decisions, with specific exceptions for national security roles, certain government jobs, financial institution executives, and cases required by law. The law aims to prevent discrimination based on an individual's creditworthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity during the employment process. Any violation of these restrictions will be treated as an unlawful discriminatory practice under the existing Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and will be enforced through that same legal framework.

SB 1337: An Act amending the act of March 1, 1988 (P.L.82, No.16), known as the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority Act, further providing for financial assistance; and abrogating regulations.

Senate Bill 1337 modifies the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority Act to clarify how the state funds water quality projects. The bill specifically allows financial assistance for projects that align with the state's Nonpoint Source Management Program but explicitly prohibits using these funds to refinance existing projects. To support these changes, the legislation removes several outdated regulations that previously defined eligible costs and funding limits. The bill takes effect 60 days after being signed into law.

This bill requires health insurance companies in Pennsylvania to cover fertility preservation services for individuals facing medically necessary cancer treatments that could cause infertility. The law mandates that insurers include storage for at least three years at an in-network facility and allows a lifetime maximum benefit of up to $100,000 per person, while still permitting standard policy terms like copayments and deductibles. Religious employers may request an exemption from these coverage requirements if the services conflict with their beliefs, though they must notify enrollees and allow individuals to purchase supplemental coverage at their own expense.

SB 1332: An Act providing for notice of use of artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence in political advertisements.

Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1332 requires political advertisements that use artificial intelligence or generative AI to clearly disclose this fact to the public. The law mandates that text-based ads display a visible statement with details about the content's origin, while audio or video ads must include an audible tagline at the beginning. Violations of this disclosure requirement can result in civil fines of up to $3,000, along with the payment of legal fees and court costs. The bill applies to all political ads produced after its effective date of 30 days.

HB 2526: An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to operation of vehicles, providing for automated litter enforcement systems in public rights-of-way and highways; and imposing penalties.

This bill allows Pennsylvania state agencies and local municipalities to install automated cameras that issue fines for littering on public roads and highways. To use these systems, local governments must create rules defining enforcement zones, get state approval, and post clear warning signs before the cameras become active. If a vehicle is caught littering, the owner receives a $200 fine that is treated as a civil penalty rather than a criminal conviction. Importantly, this fine does not add points to a driver's record or affect their auto insurance rates.
