Empowering Parents and Families
This week, the Senate approved legislation ensuring parents and guardians have direct involvement and the primary say on what books their children have access to in school. This legislation DOES NOT ban any books or remove any books from a school library. It requires parents to “opt in” and offer permission to have their children have access to sexually explicit materials. I believe this legislation acts as a safeguard and protection for age-appropriate related materials and gives parents and guardians the final say on what they believe is age appropriate for their children.
Pa. state Rep. Tarah Probst spoke before the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee on her bill that would expand the disabled veterans real estate tax exemption by giving proportional discounts to veterans who are 30 percent or more disabled, as determined by the VA.
