Senate Approves Science in Motion Bill

The Senate has approved a bill to formally enact into law the highly touted Science Technology Partnerships Program, better known as "Science in Motion." Senator Bob Robbins says he proposed the legislation because over the past few years Governor Rendell has cut funding for Science in Motion in his budget proposals and the Legislature has had to restore the money as part of budget negotiations. The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is one of 11 colleges and universities throughout the state that implement Science in Motion. The measure now goes to the state House of Representatives for consideration.
