Summary
The House Environmental Committee voted to report House Resolution 192, designating June 8–14, 2025, as Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week in Pennsylvania. A committee member who serves on the Chesapeake Bay Commission voiced support during the brief discussion.
The House Environmental Committee on [date] voted to report House Resolution 192, which designates the week of June 8 through June 14, 2025, as Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week in Pennsylvania.
Committee members said the resolution is intended to raise public awareness about stormwater and other issues affecting the Chesapeake Bay. A member of the committee who said they serve on the Chesapeake Bay Commission with Rep. Hill-Evans spoke in support, noting recent work in Washington, D.C., on stormwater management. “So I'm happy to support her with this bill,” the committee member said.
The resolution was reported out of committee with no negative votes. Committee Chair Rader called for objections and, seeing none, announced the resolution “passes unanimously and will be reported to the House.”
Supporters told the committee they view the measure as a public-education step that complements other Chesapeake Bay work by state and regional partners; the committee did not take up implementing legislation or funding as part of the resolution.
House Resolution 192 was introduced by Rep. Hill-Evans; she did not speak during the committee discussion.
The committee’s action moves the nonbinding recognition to the full House for consideration or placement on the calendar.
