Senator Pileggi Comments on Status of Senate Bill 1

Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9) commented after the House amended Senate Bill 1 on Monday:

"The House adopted 19 separate amendments to Senate Bill 1. Under House rules, the earliest that the bill can be sent to the Senate is late Tuesday night. The Senate approved this legislation, 48 to 1, on November 28. It is unfortunate that the leadership of the House of Representatives chose to delay substantive action for 12 days.

"The public and the Senate need to fully understand the impact of the many House amendments. We will begin studying them immediately.

"Strengthening Pennsylvania's Open Records Law remains my top legislative priority. As such, the Senate will act on Senate Bill 1 as soon as we return in January."
