Bill > SB570

This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to change provisions related to the Lieutenant Governor. The key changes include: 1) The Lieutenant Governor will be chosen jointly with the Governor through a single vote by each voter, rather than separately. 2) Candidates for Governor must select a running mate for Lieutenant Governor, subject to approval by their political party or body. 3) A person cannot seek election to both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor offices simultaneously. 4) The Lieutenant Governor will continue to serve as the President of the Senate but will not be able to vote on final passage of bills or joint resolutions, adoption of conference reports, or concurrence in House amendments.
