AI Summary
This bill establishes the Intergenerational Poverty Tracking System, the Interagency Workgroup on Poverty and Economic Insecurity, and the Pennsylvania Commission on Poverty Elimination and Economic Security. The Tracking System collects data on poverty rates, child poverty, and related information to identify patterns and trends in intergenerational poverty. The Workgroup collaborates to analyze this data and make policy recommendations to address the root causes of poverty and economic insecurity. The Commission develops a strategic plan to reduce and ultimately eliminate poverty in Pennsylvania, with goals to reduce deep poverty by 50% by 2028, eliminate child poverty by 2033, and eliminate all poverty by 2038. The bill requires the Commission to submit annual reports on the implementation of the strategic plan.
