"Today marks an important step forward for tenant rights in Pennsylvania. This legislation empowers tenants by giving them the confidence to report hazards without the fear of displacement,” Malagari said. “Too often, renters face the impossible choice of either staying silent or risking losing their home. H.B. 1567 eliminates that choice, allowing tenants to advocate for safer living conditions while remaining in their homes." Read more
I am proud to announce that another piece of legislation that I sponsored is now law. HB 1567 allows tenants to remain in their homes while repairs are being done as long the local municipal code enforcement officer deems it safe to do so. Under previous law, tenants were required to vacate the premises while property violations were being corrected. This legislation helps spare tenants the stress and inconvenience of finding alternate living arrangements while still encouraging property owners to make necessary repairs. New occupants will still not be allowed to move into a property with a temporary access certificate that is undergoing repairs. Read more

HARRISBURG, July 11 – Legislation to permit electronic receipts for light fuel oil deliveries passed the state Senate today, said the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Steve Malagari, D-Montgomery. "Adopting electronic fuel oil delivery receipts is fundamentally about enhancing efficiency and reducing costs, benefiting both consumers and businesses," Malagari said. "This legislation simplifies the billing process and promotes environmentally friendly practices, positioning Pennsylvania as a trailblazer in sustainable modernization." The need for the legislation was brought to Malagari's attention by a local business. It seeks to align Pennsylvania's regulations with electronic billing practices prevalent in other utilities. "Moyer & Son is very grateful for the hard work of Representative Malagari in helping to author and pass commonsense legislation in the House,” a Moyer & Son spokesperson said. “The efficiency and accuracy that electronic billing will bring to our fuel oil customers are welcome improvements to our delivery process." In contrast to traditional printed receipts, the legislation offers consumers and distributors the option of electronic receipts, providing greater convenience, accuracy and reduced administrative burden. The bill maintains consumer choice by ensuring that printed receipts remain available at no extra cost, while electronic Read more

Every individual deserves the opportunity to build their family, and it is our duty to ensure that healthcare resources reflect this fundamental principle.” Read more
