Summary
House Resolution 25, which would create a Pennsylvania State Song Commission to study the state song and solicit submissions, was re‑referred to the Tourism Committee after committee members voted to move the referral.
Harrisburg — The House State Government Committee voted on March 17 to re‑refer House Resolution 25, which would establish a Pennsylvania State Song Commission to study the state song and solicit submissions for a possible new state song, to the Tourism Committee.
Representative Cirici described the resolution as establishing a commission to “study the history of the state's song of the commonwealth, solicit submissions for the new state's song, and recommend changes to the state's song.” Representative Diamond had indicated an intention to sing his proposal but the measure was referred to Tourism before such a demonstration could occur.
Committee members moved to re‑refer the resolution; there were no recorded negative votes in committee and the motion carried. The referral sends consideration of the state song commission to the Tourism Committee.
