Hearings granted on gun safety measures

After the shooting in Parkland, Fla., the PA SAFE Caucus, of which I am a member, sent a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Turzai and House Majority Leader Dave Reed requesting hearings for gun safety bills introduced in the 2017-18 session, none of which has been brought to a vote. The PA SAFE Caucus also created a “Call to Action” that allowed concerned citizens to voice their support and demand change.

I am pleased to report that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Ron Marsico, R-Dauphin, has announced that the House Judiciary Committee will conduct multi-day hearings “to discuss the serious problems of violence with firearms and public safety.” I look forward to the hearings and working with other legislators to protect our schools and communities.
