SR 26, PN 238
This resolution designates March 6, 2005, as “Lymphedema D-Day” in
Pennsylvania. A 45-0 vote was recorded.
SB 18, PN 11
This bill amends the Crimes Code by adding gaming offenses to the
definition of “racketeering activity” for the purposes of investigating
corrupt organizations. This legislation was
previously introduced in the 2003-2004 legislative session as an
amendment to Senate Bill 1209. Sen. Mellow called for a positive vote
on the bill, but suggested that the bill did not go far enough in
barring members of the Senate from owning any stake in state gambling
enterprises. He called for a Senate rule banning Senators from owning
any stake in state gambling enterprises, as the state House has enacted
for its body and as the Governor has decreed by executive order for his
administration. Sen. Piccola responded that such a provision could not
simply be a rule, but must be statutory. A 45-0 vote was recorded.
SB 148, PN 133
The bill amends the Public School Code to require that certain school
districts revise their professional educational plans and to require the
Department of Education to create a clearinghouse of continuing
professional education programs. Similar legislation passed the Senate
unanimously in the previous session, but was not acted on by the House.
A 45-0 vote was recorded.
