Maddy summaryHB 1106 establishes a certification program for chiropractic assistants in Pennsylvania. To become certified, individuals must be at least 18, have a high school diploma, complete an approved training program, pass an exam, and meet background requirements. Certified assistants can only perform tasks delegated by a licensed chiropractor under direct on-premises supervision and must complete 16 hours of continuing education (including 8 in-person hours) every two years to maintain certification. The bill also makes minor editorial changes to the existing Chiropractic Practice Act.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits airports and aviation businesses in Pennsylvania from using Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) data to charge fees to aircraft owners or operators. ADS-B is a technology that automatically shares an aircraft's location, speed, and other flight details with ground stations and other planes. The law makes it illegal for these entities to collect money based on this surveillance information and gives the state Attorney General the power to enforce the rule. The ban applies to any fees calculated or generated from this data within the state's borders.

Maddy summaryHR 417 is a symbolic resolution designating November 2025 as "Indiana University of Pennsylvania Appreciation Month" to celebrate the university's 150th anniversary. It formally recognizes IUP's history - from its founding as Indiana Normal School in 1875 to its current role in Pennsylvania's higher education system - without creating any legal obligations or funding changes. The resolution honors IUP's contributions to the state but does not affect any policies, programs, or individuals beyond this commemorative gesture.

Maddy summaryThis resolution designates May 20, 2026, as "Jimmy Stewart Day" in Pennsylvania. It honors the late actor Jimmy Stewart, who was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and is celebrated for his film career and contributions to American culture. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it is a ceremonial recognition of Stewart's Pennsylvania ties and legacy. No specific individuals or groups are directly affected by this designation.

Maddy summaryHouse Resolution 513 directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to study how outdated hospital regulations, which have not been updated in nearly 40 years, financially affect hospitals across Pennsylvania. The study will examine the number of overlapping rules, the administrative costs hospitals incur to comply, and the resources required to manage complex oversight structures. To assist with this review, the committee will form an advisory group that includes representatives from state agencies and hospitals of various types, including rural, urban, and suburban facilities. The committee is required to submit a report with its findings and recommendations within 12 months to relevant legislative leaders.

Maddy summaryHR 362 is a procedural resolution that directs the House to discharge the Committee on Education from further consideration of House Bill 158, allowing HB 158 to move directly to the full House floor for a vote. This action bypasses the committee's review process, which typically requires committee approval before a bill can be debated on the floor. The resolution was placed on the calendar under Rule 53 on October 29, 2025, signaling it will now proceed to a floor vote. This change affects the legislative workflow for HB 158 but does not alter the content or policy of HB 158 itself.

Maddy summaryHB 2248 designates May 20 as "Jimmy Stewart Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the late actor, who was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and starred in iconic films like *It's a Wonderful Life* and *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington*. The bill is purely commemorative, with no requirement for employers to grant paid leave or treat the day as a legal holiday. It includes legislative findings about Stewart's life, career, military service, and legacy, including his 1985 Presidential Medal of Freedom. The designation applies annually without imposing new obligations on individuals or organizations.

Maddy summaryHB 2196 requires electric and natural gas suppliers in Pennsylvania to provide consolidated billing, replacing separate bills from utilities and suppliers with a single bill showing all charges. This directly affects residential and commercial customers who choose alternative energy suppliers (currently only 23% of residential electric and 11.3% of natural gas customers). The key mechanism mandates that suppliers must consolidate all electric and natural gas charges onto one bill, using smart meter data to enable more tailored pricing options like time-of-use rates. The bill also includes penalties for non-compliance with these billing requirements.
