House Resolution introduced by Stambaugh and others on February 12, 2025, directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct a study on the feasibility of transitioning the Pennsylvania General Assembly to part-time status. The resolution highlights that Pennsylvania is one of only ten states with a full-time legislature and notes that many populous states operate with part-time legislatures. It also references previous bipartisan efforts to reduce the size of the General Assembly, indicating a growing interest in legislative reform.

The study mandated by the resolution will include a comprehensive review of all 49 state legislatures, examining their status (full-time or part-time), session lengths, composition sizes, and other relevant factors such as legislator salaries and instances of political corruption. Additionally, it will provide a historical overview of the General Assembly's status, outline the constitutional amendment process, and identify key considerations for any legislative changes. The committee is tasked with utilizing existing studies and resources to complete the report, which is to be submitted to all General Assembly members within 18 months of the resolution's adoption.
