H.R.77

Pennsylvania HR77 directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to study the possibility of transitioning the General Assembly to part-time.

Pennsylvania HR77 instructs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct a comprehensive study on transitioning the General Assembly to part-time status. The study will review other state legislatures' full-time or part-time status, session length, composition size, and legislator salaries. It will also examine the history of Pennsylvania's General Assembly, the amendatory process for the state's constitution, and potential cost savings from various legislative reform approaches. The committee must submit a report with findings and recommendations within 18 months.
