I will soon be introducing legislation proposing a constitutional amendment returning Pennsylvania’s General Assembly to part-time status.

The vast majority of states operate their legislatures more efficiently and cost-effectively through a defined period of session, instead of Pennsylvania’s current model of maintaining a full-time legislature. Such a part-time body would reduce costs, encourage more Pennsylvanians to run for office or advocate before the legislature, and ensure that our work is accomplished in a timely manner with firm constitutional deadlines for adjournment.

Please join me in sponsoring this important reform to put back in the Pennsylvania Constitution a part-time legislature as it was prior to 1968.
