Bill > HB353

This bill proposes separate and distinct amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for an "economic bill of rights". The key provisions would establish the following rights for the people: (1) the right to a living wage to reasonably support oneself and one's family, (2) the right to affordable and accessible healthcare and the opportunity to achieve good physical and mental health, (3) the right to safe, efficient, and reliable transportation infrastructure, and (4) the right to safe and healthy working conditions. The bill outlines the process for passing these proposed constitutional amendments, which involves two rounds of passage by the General Assembly and separate ballot questions for each amendment to be submitted to the qualified electors of the Commonwealth.
