This provides short descriptions of legislative bills that are active before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The public is encouraged to post comments on these proposals. The bills with the most recent legislative actions (i.e. public hearings, committee votes, etc.) appear first. Many more bills may be found in the monthly Archives. This is presented as a courtesy of Rep. Mark B. Cohen, House Democratic Caucus Chairman.

This is very important and the parents of today need reminded ten fold.
Very shortly, a dT shot with pertussis will be available, This immunization would be very useful in reducing the spread of Pertussis, commonly known as 'whooping cough'. Teens have been shown to be vulnerable to this disease, as the earlier boosters' efficacy wanes. Perhaps you could require the new vaccine.
Thanks
