Policy Hearing - Death in Custody: A Public Health Crisis
2024-04-02 10:00 - 13:00 | North Office Building, 401 North Street, Harrisburg, PA, 17120, United States
On April 2nd, Senator Katie Muth, Chair of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Policy Committee, and Senator Cappelletti will co-host a hearing on the Commonwealth’s absence of reliable information surrounding deaths in the custody of law enforcement and correctional institutions. To address the lack of reliable data, the federal Death in Custody Reporting Act (DCRA) mandates that these agencies notify the federal government of any fatalities that occur while a person is in custody. Currently, Pennsylvania ranks among the highest in the nation for death rates of individuals in custody, with state prison deaths increasing from 171 in 2019 to 239 in 2020. Disturbingly, county jails in the state reported 56 deaths in 2020, marking the highest death rate in two decades, with less than half of these cases being reported to the federal government. Comprehensive reporting is a crucial tool for public health and accountability, aiming to enhance transparency and maintain the integrity of the criminal justice system in the Commonwealth.
This hearing will be at the North Office Building Hearing Room 1, 401 North St, Harrisburg, PA 17120

Policy Hearing: Skill Games in Pennsylvania
2023-08-23 11:00 - 13:00 | Radnor Township Municipal Building (Radnorshire Room), 301 Iven Avenue, Radnor, PA, 19087, United States
On August 23rd, Senator Amanada Cappelletti and Chairwoman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee Senator Katie Muth will be hosting a policy hearing on the use of so-called “Skill Games” in the Commonwealth and how they affect Pennsylvanians. Discussion will cover the current status of these “skill games”, an ongoing court battle over the legality of the games, and how they people directly and indirectly. With virtually no regulation, so-called “skill games” have become a highly contested industry in the Commonwealth and it is estimated that they have already diverted over $650 million away from programs that assist vulnerable senior citizens.
The hearing will be held at Radnorshire Room at the Radnor Township Municipal Building (301 Iven Ave, Radnor, PA 19087)

Policy Hearing - Student Voices in Education
2022-06-03 10:00 - 12:00 | Norristown Area School District | Administration Building, 401 North Whitehall Road, West Norriton, PA, 19403, United States
On June 3rd, Senators Kearney, Muth, Cappelletti, and Collett will hold a hearing on student voices in education. Legislators, stakeholders, advocates, and parents dominate the vast majority of Pennsylvania’s public debate on hot button issues around education, including equity in schools, school climate, and student mental health. Rarely do the students who are the subjects of these debates get to weigh in on the issues themselves. This hearing will be an opportunity for students from 8 diverse school districts in Montgomery County who have been engaged in dialogue and data-driven research on these critical issues to present their research and experiences to policy makers. Specifically, students will present findings from research projects they conducted using the Psychological Sense of School Membership survey within their schools, that speak to questions of belonging within schools and equity between different student groups. The hearing will give policy makers a deeper understanding of school environments that affect youth mental health, school climate and safety, and inequality – all of which have been identified as top education concerns for policy development by members of the Education Committee and the caucus at large.
This hearing will be held at Norristown Area School District | Administration Building | 401 North Whitehall Road, West Norriton, PA 19403 with a ZOOM option for those who wish to participate virtually.

Policy Hearing: Innovations for Economic Recovery: Childcare and College Students
2022-04-28 10:00 - 13:00 | Montgomery County Community College – Health Sciences Center – Room 1804, 340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell, PA, 19422, United States
On April 28th, Senators Collett, Cappelletti, Schwank, and Comitta will hold a hearing to discuss the challenges facing student and staff at institutions of higher education surrounding childcare. Lack of affordable and accessible childcare has impacted every industry and become dire during the pandemic. Colleges are in a unique position to help bolster the childcare space while preparing current and future economic contributors for the challenges and opportunities in a COVID-endemic world. The hearing will explore the need: with testimony coming directly from students; the means: hearing direction from institutions which offer childcare; and the opportunity and risks involved from researchers and advocates. There is nothing in statute which limits a university or college’s ability to offer childcare and the PASSHE system could use the service as a way to bolster recruitment of both students and staff. Gov. Wolf recently proposed expanding childcare offerings as a way to make the Commonwealth a more attractive and competitive employer. There is no reason our higher education institutions shouldn’t be utilizing the same tactics.
This hearing will be held at Montgomery County Community College − Health Sciences Center − Room 1804 with a ZOOM option for those who wish to participate virtually.
Montgomery County Community College – Blue Bell Campus – Room 1804 in the Health Sciences Center is on the first floor here.

Policy Hearing: #ItsOnUs: Combatting Sexual Assault on Campus
2022-04-07 10:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event, PA, United States
On April 7th, 2022, Senators Muth, Cappelletti, Schwank, Collett, Hughes, and Santarsiero will host a hearing on the movement against sexual assault on college campus and the Governor’s It’s On Us package of bills designed to address this issue.
The It’s On Us campaign is a national initiative started by the Obama Administration to raise awareness about sexual assault; teaching participants that assault includes non-consensual sex, advising them on how to identify dangerous situations, empowering them to intervene, and urging them to create an environment of support for victims and survivors.
This hearing is meant to highlight the need for Pennsylvania to pass the “It’s On Us” legislative package, which consist of four bills that are the next steps to preventing assault on campus and ensuring victims get the help they deserve. If passed, the senate package, which includes SB 730, SB 909, and SB 785, will enact a ‘yes means yes’ law, will strengthen protections for victims of on-campus crime, and will teach middle and high school students to know and prevent dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment and stalking. Additionally, SR 122, included in the package, creates a task force to study sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking. This hearing will highlight the issues these bills cover and offer diverse perspectives to give lawmakers a statewide picture of where our efforts are when it comes to ending sexual assault and dating violence on campuses in Pennsylvania.
This hearing will be fully virtual.
