HB102 Increased penalties for harassment of sports officials House Floor: PN2380, FINAL PASSAGE 10/01/2025 -1 Nay Under current law, penalties for harassment are determined by the alleged actions of the defendant. However, HB 102 would depart from this legal framework by enhancing the penalty from a summary offense to a third-degree misdemeanor based on who the victim is, instead of punishing people based on the extent, content, duration, or severity of harassment, regardless of the target.
HB150 Medical release House Floor: PN2066, FINAL PASSAGE 12/17/2025 1 Nay HB 150 would allow incarcerated people to petition for medical release when they have a substantially diminished ability to function in a correctional facility due to a terminal illness, a chronic and debilitating physical or medical condition or disease, a serious functional or cognitive impairment or deteriorating physical or mental health due to the aging process.
HB282 Providing medical assistance upon reentry House Floor: HB 282 PN 1800, FINAL PASSAGE 06/03/2025 1 Nay HB 282 would authorize the PA Department of Corrections to establish a medical assistance reentry program for incarcerated individuals who are scheduled to be released and returning to their community. This would ensure a continuity of care, so that access to medication, substance use disorder treatment, and case management services are not disrupted.
HB439 CROWN Act House Floor: HB 439 PN 996, FINAL PASSAGE 03/17/2025 1 Yea HB 439, known as the CROWN Act, would amend the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to expand the definition of “race” to include traits associated with race, including hair texture and protective hairstyles. HB 439 would prohibit racial discrimination of hair texture and protective hairstyles historically associated with race without infringing on an employer's right to implement otherwise valid workplace health and safety rules or policies.
HB458 Post-conviction review for veterans with PTSD or TBI House Floor: PN0440, FINAL PASSAGE 12/16/2025 1 Nay HB 458 would allow incarcerated veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI) after imprisonment to apply to the court for post-conviction relief, enabling them to present their diagnosis of a mental health disability sustained during or as a result of active duty or training for active duty as a mitigating factor in the crime for which they were charged.
HB956 Automatic felony enhancement for simple assault against municipal workers House Floor: HB 956 PN 1975, FINAL PASSAGE 07/01/2025 -1 Nay HB 956 would add municipal workers as the fortieth category to the list of officers or employees against whom simple assault would automatically be charged as a second-degree felony aggravated assault. HB 956 would mete out greater punishment based not on the intent or severity of the assault, but rather on the employment status of the victim.
HB1140 Contraceptive Coverage for All Act House Floor: HB 1140 PN 1449, FINAL PASSAGE 06/03/2025 1 Nay HB 1140 would require insurance companies to cover all contraceptive drugs, devices, and other products and services at no cost to the consumer, ensuring that no one loses access to contraception because of their income—and guarantees it for those who need, want, and deserve it.
HB1396 Omnibus election reform House Floor: HB 1396 PN 1688, FINAL PASSAGE 05/13/2025 1 Nay HB 1396 is an omnibus reform bill that would (1) expand voting access (e.g., machine-based early voting, standardized ballot drop box requirements, pre-registration for 16- and 17-year olds); (2) modernize and secure our elections (e.g., electronic poll books, recount reform); and (3) address administrative challenges through practical improvements to mail ballot procedures.
HB1613 Child Protection Interrogation Act House Floor: PN1930 A01830 10/08/2025 1 Nay HB 1613 would ensure children are given an opportunity to consult with an attorney prior to a custodial interrogation. Through decades of research we know that children are inherently different from adults in their behavior, mental and emotional maturity, decision-making skills, and ability to use critical reasoning. We also know the dangers associated with coercive interrogation practices, which makes the need for this common-sense reform all the more urgent.
HB1934 Right to access state agency records House Floor: PN2433, FINAL PASSAGE 11/19/2025 -1 Yea HB 1934 would actually make it harder for people to obtain information in lawsuits against the Commonwealth. The proposed changes would create confusion, inconsistency, and more red tape. Each agency would have to develop its own procedures for handling discovery, leading to delays and inefficiencies that make it harder for Pennsylvanians to hold the government accountable.
HB1957 Protecting reproductive freedom in PA (constitutional amendment) House Floor: PN2711, FINAL PASSAGE 12/17/2025 1 Nay HB 1957 is a proposed PA constitutional amendment that would affirm and protect every Pennsylvanian’s right to privacy with respect to personal, sexual, and reproductive healthcare decisions, including the right to choose or refuse an abortion, the right to choose or refuse contraceptives, and the right to choose or refuse fertility care, all without discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or relationship status.
