Rules committee reports three-bill package including Allegheny River Boulevard scenic-byway and expanded body-camera authority
Summary
The Rules Committee reported a three-bill package to the floor: designation of Allegheny River Boulevard as a scenic byway, expanded body-camera authorization for county probation and parole officers, and title protection for music therapists. The package passed unanimously, 33-0.
Chair Topper moved the Rules Committee report a three-bill package to the House floor that would: designate the Allegheny River Boulevard as a scenic byway; expand authorization and use of body cameras to county probation and parole officers; and establish title protection for music therapists.
The three items — House Bill 1967 (Printer's No. 2482), House Bill 2299 (Printer's No. 3019), and House Bill 2586 (Printer's No. 3477) — were presented together as the first packet. Committee members voiced no substantive debate on the measures on the record. One member stated, “Mister chair, it's my understanding Republicans will be voting in the affirmative.” Another voice replied, “That is correct.” Representative Schurzy was noted as present and reflected on the record.
With no further discussion, the secretary called the roll. The chair announced the vote was unanimous: “The ayes are 33, the nays are 0,” and the package advanced to the floor.
The committee took no separate roll-call debate on individual provisions during the meeting; each bill in the package will appear on the House floor for further consideration.
