“E-scooters have become an essential micro-mobility option across the nation and Pennsylvania is falling behind by failing to allow e-scooter share programs and provide local governments with the proper tools to regulate their use and keep people safe,” Kinkead said. “It is irresponsible for lawmakers to continue allowing e-scooters to exist in a legal gray area. This bill is about addressing the gaps in our existing law – establishing rules for the safe and responsible use of e-scooters while ensuring that Pennsylvanians have access to every option to get them where they need to go.” Read more

“Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation that does not require regular property reassessments. Some of our counties have gone more than five decades without reassessment. This has created significant disparities between similarly situated properties and unfairly shifted the property tax burden among homeowners, especially in areas where school districts cross county lines.“Regular reassessments would give taxpayers greater transparency and predictability while giving our schools and local governments the information they need to plan for the future. This is an opportunity to finally fix this broken, inequitable system that impacts homeowners, renters, school districts and municipalities statewide.” Read more

“Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania offer unique landscapes, neighborhoods and settings that can’t be recreated elsewhere,” said Rep. Emily Kinkead, who represents portions of Allegheny County. “When production companies choose Pennsylvania, they're not just telling stories on screen — they're creating jobs, buying services, supporting local businesses and investing in our communities."

HARRISBURG, June 17 – The Pennsylvania House on Wednesday passed H.B. 1944, which would protect individuals who help another person in the event of a drug or alcohol overdose, announced state Reps. Paul Friel and Emily Kinkead, who sponsored the bill. House Bill 1944 , which passed with broad bipartisan support , would protect people, such as college students, from endangerment charges if they are administering aid to a person suffering an emergency overdose. “Creating a culture of safety on campus means removing the threat of disciplinary action so students can step up and help one another without hesitation,” said Friel, D-Chester . “When we eliminate the fear of punishment, we break down the biggest barrier to calling for emergency help, which ultimately saves lives.” “In a life-or-death crisis, hesitation can be fatal. Fear of legal repercussions should never stand in the way of a person doing the right thing,” said Kinkead, D-Allegheny . “This legislation guarantees that anyone who steps forward to help someone experiencing an overdose or alcohol poisoning will be shielded from criminal liability. “By moving this legislation forward, we are ensuring that Pennsylvanians – especially our youth – can protect their peers during an emergency without risking their own futures.” The representatives heard during a March public hearing that this legislation Read more
