📞 Tired of telemarketing calls at all hours of the day? ➡ The Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee passed a bill to crack down on robocalls and telemarketing scams in Pennsylvania. Sponsored by Senator Michele Brooks, Senate Bill 992 would update outdated telemarketing laws to protect consumers from unwanted calls, texts and AI-driven scams.
The bill bans telemarketing on Sundays, limits calls after 7 p.m. as well as calls before 9 a.m., and strengthens the state’s Do Not Call Registry. It’s our hope that this legislation will better protect Pennsylvanians at any age from the harassment we’ve all unfortunately come to know from telemarketers.
With the collaboration of the Attorney General’s office, we’re proud to move this legislation forward as the bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Enjoyed visiting @fayette_county_cti yesterday to tour their state-of-the-art facilities and discuss their pre-apprenticeship programs focused on the construction trades. 🛠 Fayette CTI’s work in preparing students with the hands-on skills needed for successful careers in the trades is vital not only for their students, but for the continued growth of the industry and our community.
Thank you to the team at Fayette County CTI for your commitment to education, workforce development and opportunity for everyone in @fayettecopa.
This week, @seneldervogel held a press conference with Feeding Pennsylvania to recognize September as Hunger Action Month. 🍎 Access to consistent, high-quality food is essential to not only individual, but community health. This month, we emphasize the importance of supporting local food banks and raising awareness about food insecurity across Pennsylvania.
Always a great time at the annual Farmers and Threshermens Jubilee in New Centerville! 🚂
This week, Abiram Yadlapalli came to job shadow in my Connellsville district office where he learned more about the legislative process, sat in on meetings and got a behind-the-scenes look at what we do to serve our constituents.
Abiram is a student interested in social issues and international relations, hoping to one day become an international human rights lawyer. Thank you for your help, Abiram!
➡ If you`re a student interested in job shadowing or looking for an internship, contact my district office to see what we can set up for you!
We’re so grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this year`s Bedford County Senior Expo a success! A special thank you to the Alum Bank Volunteer Fire Department for allowing us to use their facility to house dozens of exhibitors that offer helpful information, services and resources to our area seniors.
I was honored to join the Walker family in celebrating the life of a true patriot, Corporal Carl Lynn Walker.
On July 7, 1969, in the thick of combat in the Republic of Vietnam, Corporal Walker gave his life in service to his country. He was posthumously honored with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Ribbon and the Combat Infantryman Badge.
His family found a state bridge located between his place of birth and his final resting place and asked that it be dedicated in his name. Through legislation, we were able to accomplish that so generations to come will travel across this bridge and pay respect to Corporal Walker’s legacy.
Great time this week at the @fayettecofairpa! 🐄🎡🌽
