General Assembly in Session Today

The Pennsylvania House and Senate return to Harrisburg today for voting sessions.

The Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that would require GPS coordinates to be posted at the entrance to all gas-drilling sites.

They also are scheduled to begin work on a bill authorizing an additional 60 days of federally funded benefits for unemployed workers. Those benefits were set to expire on February. 4, but congressional legislation approved in late December allows states to extend assistance checks.

The House will be considering Senator Joe Scarnati’s bill that would require anyone applying for public benefits to show proof of citizenship.

They also are expected to vote on a measure to limit punitive damages in physician lawsuits.
