Bill > HR153

This resolution designates the week of November 16 through 22, 2025, as "County Row Office Employee Appreciation Week" in Pennsylvania, recognizing the critical contributions of county government employees who work in various row offices. The resolution highlights the historical context of Pennsylvania's county system, which began in 1682 with three counties and has since expanded to 67 counties employing over 90,000 individuals. It details the essential roles of different county row offices, including sheriffs who assist with law enforcement, prothonotaries who manage civil court documents, district attorneys who address crime prosecution, treasurers who collect taxes, controllers who maintain fiscal records, coroners who certify death causes, recorders of deeds who document property transactions, and clerk of orphans' court offices who handle guardianship and adoption petitions. The resolution aims to honor these public service employees by acknowledging their often-overlooked but vital work in supporting and serving Pennsylvania's residents, while also commemorating the anniversary of the state's first counties.
