Maddy summaryHB 858 requires Pennsylvania county chief assessors to maintain and annually update a public list of property contact information, including owners' names and addresses. This applies directly to county assessors and ensures property owners' contact details are accessible to the public. The bill also imposes penalties for failure to comply with these requirements, aiming to improve transparency in property ownership records.

Maddy summaryThis Pennsylvania bill requires public and private schools to teach students in grades six through twelve about suicide prevention and violence awareness, while also introducing social isolation education for students from kindergarten through grade twelve. To support these requirements, the state education department must create and publish a list of evidence-based, age-appropriate curricula that schools can use to deliver at least one hour of instruction annually. The materials must cover identifying warning signs, seeking help, and reporting dangerous behavior, with the option for schools to combine these lessons into a single class period. Additionally, the legislation allows for the establishment of student-led violence prevention clubs to further promote safety within school communities.
