O God, enable us to make this world a better place for our children and our children's children. Please bless us all and the whole world. We recognize the different bounties and treasures that You have given to this great State of Pennsylvania. We beg of You, O God, to please continue to do so. We thank You for this great nation.

BETHANY AND JACKSON LUNGER PRESENTED

The SPEAKER. I invite the gentleman, Mr. Everett, to the rostrum for the purpose of presenting a citation to State and national archery champions Bethany and Jackson Lunger. The gentleman, Mr. Everett, may proceed. Mr. EVERETT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Speaker said, we are welcoming back, actually, to the House of Representatives the Lunger family. Up in the back are Mike and Tracy, parents of Jackson – who goes by J.D. – Bethany, and Emalee, who is over here to the left of the Speaker, and grandparents Dale and Mary Lunger. Last year I had the great pleasure of recognizing Emalee as a State champion archer, and at that time I predicted that her siblings would be here one day. I did not know it would be quite this soon, but today we are here to recognize J.D., who is 7 years old, and Bethany, who is 11 years old. And we will start with J.D. J.D. captured first place in the freestyle division for the Pennsylvania State champion, and in the process of doing so, he broke his own record, scoring a 398. And then he went on to nationals and placed 9th out of 25 in nationals. He is on the young edge of that age group at nationals, and I expect that he is only going to get better as time goes by and we will see him back here as a national champion. His sister, Bethany, who is 11 years old, captured first place in the national championships for 2014, and she won her event with a perfect score: 600 out of 600. And on her way to the championship, through States and nationals, she broke her sister Emalee's existing record. So Emalee has got some work to do to get a perfect score and it looks like she is ready to take her sister on, and I think it will be an interesting competition. Like I said, in the process, Bethany won first place in States and then won first place in nationals with a perfect score. The Lunger family is very involved with archery in our community. They are in the process of trying to get it incorporated into the curriculum in our public schools as part of gym, and they are trying to get some clubs going. We do not have any teams in our area yet, even though we are a big hunting area. Everybody is always busy out hunting. We do not have any archery teams. So we are going to work on getting that established.


And I just want to congratulate the Lunger family, and particularly Bethany and J.D. on their great accomplishments. I would ask you for a round of applause and welcome to the House of Representatives in recognition of their achievements. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The House will be at ease for a moment or two. The House will come to order.

PENNSYLVANIA LEADERSHIP CHARTER SCHOOL LEGO ROBOTIC TEAM PRESENTED

The SPEAKER. I invite Representative Truitt to the rostrum for the purpose of presenting a citation. The gentleman, Mr. Truitt, may proceed. I would appreciate the attention of the members. Kindly hold the conversations down, please. Mr. TRUITT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievement of a group of hardworking students who recently represented Pennsylvania at the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO League World Showcase. The FIRST LEGO League, for those of you who may or may not be familiar with it, is for junior high school- or middle school-age students. They build a robot. Actually, they design it, program it, and build it. It is a pretty complex process. And then they compete in a competition at the regional level and then at the State level in order to gain entry to the world showcase. Now, the part that is not well-known by a lot of folks is that you do not just design a program and build a robot; you also have to do a project along with your robot. And that project involves, again, coming up with something that matches the theme. This year's theme was "disasters." So these students behind me were challenged to come up with some design or some concept that would help in the prevention or response to a disaster in the State of Pennsylvania or anywhere in the world. The theme that they came up with is "tornadoes." And I am going to tell you a little bit more about their project in a moment, but first I want to recognize the members of the team. I have behind me Laura Dodds, – you can wave – C.J. Stiles, Charles Cote, Kaity O'Hanlon, Ian Beazley, Matt Lebermann, and their coaches, Larry Dodds and John Markward. Now, these students have just finished up seventh and eighth grade. These students just finished seventh and eighth grade at the Pennsylvania Leadership Cyber Charter School, part of the University Scholars Program there, which is a hybrid program. They spend about 50 percent of their time in a brick-and-mortar school, and about 50 percent of their time at home working on the computer. While they are in school, they formed a club to work on this LEGO robotics competition. Let me tell you what they did. They came up with this idea. Not only did they design, build, and program a robot that performed admirably in all of the competitions, but they came up with a concept to help predict tornadoes – where they would occur and what direction they would go. The idea behind their concept is, it will not be long before the Federal government is going to require that all of our mobile phones include a

barometric pressure sensor in them. The purpose of the barometric pressure sensor will be so that if you call 911 from a tall building, they will not only be able to know what building you are in, but they will be able to know what floor you are on. Well, these students realized that, hey, if we have all that information in your phone, if your phone knows where you are and what the barometric pressure is, they could use a technology called crowdsourcing to send that information back to a centralized server that can now have thousands and thousands of data points of what the barometric pressure is all over the State or all over a region. And from that, they can predict where a tornado might break out and what direction it might go, and then they can send a warning message to your cell phone to let you know, hey, you might be in the path of a tornado. Again, these are seventh and eighth graders that came up with this concept. So I encourage you all to give them a big round of applause for their creativity and their hard work. They did outstanding at the world showcase. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The House will be at ease for a moment or two. The House will come to order.

GUESTS INTRODUCED

The SPEAKER. A few other guests that are with us, located to the left of the rostrum, we would like to welcome guests of Representative Regan: Thomas and Tracie Martin, the parents of track and field champion Abby Martin. In the rear of the House are Dr. Alan Moyer, Pat Dieter, Matt Brenner, and Jason Jarrett. Will our guests please rise. Welcome to the hall of the House.

ABBY MARTIN PRESENTED

The SPEAKER. And with that, we will invite Representative Regan to the rostrum for the purpose of presenting a citation. Members will please hold the conversations down. I would appreciate your courtesy. The gentleman, Mr. Regan, may proceed. Mr. REGAN. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a champion athlete who is with us today in the hall of the House. One of the most challenging events in the world of track and field is the long jump. This event requires speed, strength, timing, and agility. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor and privilege to introduce to the full House Class AA State Long Jump Champion Abby Martin of Boiling Springs High School. Abby won the State title by clearing 18 1/2 feet, 5 1/4 inches in her championship-winning jump. One of the greatest pleasures of being on the House floor is to be able to recognize the many outstanding young men and women who have achieved such great things. Today Abby Martin joins our honor roll of high achievers as we celebrate her accomplishment. Abby will have the opportunity to defend her crown next year, as she has only completed her junior year.


On behalf of the entire House of Representatives, it is my pleasure to present a House citation to Abby Martin of Boiling Springs High School. Go Bubblers! Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The House will be at ease for a moment. The House will come to order.

STATEMENT BY MR. MIRABITO

The SPEAKER. The Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Lycoming County, Mr. Mirabito, under unanimous consent relative to one of the resolutions just adopted. Mr. MIRABITO. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Pennsylvania has a long list of inventions and famous firsts; among them the first turnpike and the first Major League Baseball World Series in 1903. Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of Little League baseball, which was founded in Williamsport, Lycoming County, on June 6, 1939. The first league began with 3 teams of 10 players each. That is right: 30 boys played in that first Little League 75 years ago. Today, in 2014, 2.4 million boys and girls ages 4 to 18 play Little League in all 50 States and 83 countries worldwide. Little League baseball encourages every player to learn and engage in core values of leadership, citizenship, sportsmanship, and teamwork. The league emphasizes community and


volunteerism, and contributes to forming positive relationships between neighbors in communities all across the country and around the world. Little League baseball is played on fields in every one of our districts – a link that ties all of us together. Every August the eyes of our nation focus on Williamsport and South Williamsport to watch the best young baseball players in the world compete at the Little League World Series. The Little League World Series has been contested in Williamsport since 1947, and because of this history, Williamsport is known worldwide as the home of Little League baseball. This is a source of intense pride for our residents, and the success of Little League baseball is a triumph for all Pennsylvanians. Thank you for your affirmative vote on HR 894, which honors the 75th anniversary of Little League, a true Pennsylvania treasure.

STATEMENT BY MR. STURLA

The SPEAKER. The Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Lancaster County, Mr. Sturla, under unanimous consent relative to one of the resolutions just adopted. Mr. STURLA. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, HR 874 designated today as "Turkic Cultural Day." And the Council of Turkic American Associations and the Turkish Cultural Center of Pennsylvania are here today. If anybody has a chance, stop in at the rotunda and try some of the food and see some of the things that they are doing. The events showcase a rich mosaic of different cultures, religions, and ethnicities, and educates about the country of Turkey as well as the populations in Pennsylvania that come from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. So I welcome them here today and hope you all get a chance to sample some of the things that are going on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The Speaker thanks the gentleman.

CALENDAR

RESOLUTION PURSUANT TO RULE 35

Mr. P. COSTA called up HR 862, PN 3571, entitled: A Resolution recognizing the legacy and achievements of former

State Representative Michael H. Kennedy. On the question, Will the House adopt the resolution? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Allegheny County, Mr. Paul Costa. Mr. P. COSTA. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand before you today and ask for an affirmative vote for HR 862, a resolution honoring the legacy of former Representative Michael H. Kennedy. Representative Kennedy, a Republican from the city of Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville area – you heard me right— The SPEAKER. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa; do you have that right?

Mr. P. COSTA. ―a Republican from the city of Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville area was first elected to the House in November of 1906, the same year my grandfather immigrated to the United States. Coincidence? We will get to that in a little bit. So in 1907 Representative Kennedy was sworn into office, and he sat where Representative Billy Adolph sits right now. And in those days the railroad companies were very powerful, politically and legislatively, so much so that their lobbyists used to be on the House floor during session. One particular railroad attempted to use eminent domain to build a track junction in the city of Pittsburgh in an area known as Point State Park. Representative Kennedy, a freshman, only being here a few short months, realized that if the railroad was successful, they would remove the last block house remaining on the grounds of Fort Pitt, once one of the largest forts in North America. Even though knowing how powerful the railroads were and the consequences of working against them, Representative Kennedy realized the historical significance and fought to protect the Fort Pitt Block House by introducing and guiding legislation that would prohibit the use of eminent domain by corporations to seize or remove colonial or Revolutionary War buildings during that period. So on May 10, 1907, Gov. Edwin Stuart signed into law Representative Kennedy's bill that became known as the Historic Sites Act, protecting not only the Fort Pitt Block House but also Valley Forge and Independence Hall, just to name a few. Unfortunately, due to his efforts, the railroad worked against Representative Kennedy in his election and it cost him his seat in the legislature. The sacrifice Representative Kennedy made should not go in vain. Because of him, this weekend we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Fort Pitt Block House. Now, as I said before, Representative Kennedy was a Republican, and you are wondering why I am doing this. Well, as I also said before, Representative Kennedy was elected the same year that my grandfather immigrated to this country. And coincidentally, Representative Kennedy's grandchildren and my grandfather's grandchildren grew up in the same neighborhood and actually are friends.

GUESTS INTRODUCED Mr. P. COSTA. And a couple of his grandchildren are with us here today. And if it is okay with the Speaker, I would like to introduce Robert Kennedy, Paul Kennedy, and Mary Kennedy Withrow, the grandchildren of Representative Michael H. Kennedy. I would like to thank you for your grandfather's legacy, and I would also appreciate if everybody could vote for HR 862. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Just to give a little bit of background here, we had discussed this bill previously a few weeks back, and I had some significant concerns with the legislation and had drafted several amendments to that effect. Afterwards the gentleman from East Marlborough Township and I met with a number of small business owners in my community, and actually from his community as well.

My concern with the legislation was specifically how it impacted small business owners and agricultural interests. And this compromise amendment that I am putting forth here I believe mitigates those concerns. The amendment puts forward several protections to protect small business and agriculture, and I would encourage an affirmative vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The question is, will the House agree to the amendment? On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Chester County, Mr. Ross. Mr. ROSS. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to thank my colleague from Chester County for the work that he has put into this. This is indeed an agreed-to amendment and I think helps to advance the purposes of the bill and also to better protect all those that might be working in this program, and I urge a positive vote. On the question recurring, Will the House agree to the amendment?

their official duties. On the question, Will the House agree to the amendment? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Clinton County, Mr. Hanna. Mr. HANNA. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, first, I understand this amendment is agreed to, but I would like to provide at least some background. It is amendment A07497, and it adds a provision to HB 2178 that would require wildlife conservation officers and waterways

conservation officers, that they have received training on the legal and technical aspects of wiretapping and electronic surveillance prior to the use of body cameras in the performance of their duties.

REMARKS SUBMITTED FOR THE RECORD

Mr. HANNA. Mr. Speaker, I will offer the balance of my comments for the record. Mr. HANNA submitted the following remarks for the Legislative Journal: As currently written, HB 2178 gives WCOs the same body camera powers as our State and municipal police officers, even though they do not receive the same level of rigorous law enforcement training as our police officers. Mr. Speaker, the bill does not include any training requirements for our WCOs. If WCOs are going to be considered law enforcement officers under Act 9, then they should also be trained to understand the appropriate use of these body cameras. Body cameras can be invasive and circumvent the personal liberties of our citizens if used improperly. Given that we just extended this unprecedented power to police officers earlier this year, we need to ensure that WCOs understand the responsibility accompanying the use of body cameras and the privacy protections which were put in place under Act 9. Our citizens need to be assured that WCOs will utilize body cameras properly and not misuse these advancements in law enforcement to infringe upon their civil liberties. I ask for an affirmative vote. The SPEAKER. The question is, will the House agree to the amendment? On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Adams County, Mr. Moul. Mr. MOUL. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an agreed-to amendment, and I appreciate the maker's activity with this bill. On the question recurring, Will the House agree to the amendment?

On the question, Will the House agree to the amendment? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Delaware County, Mr. Hackett. Mr. HACKETT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Amendment A07416 is an agreed-upon amendment, sir. It is the result of a joint effort of many individuals. This amendment strengthens the underlying bill thanks to the efforts of the maker of the bill, the gentleman from Philadelphia County, Mr. Cruz; the gentleman from Lehigh County, Mr. Schlossberg; and the gentlelady from Philadelphia, Mrs. Parker.

This amendment incorporates portions of my bill, HB 836, which was approved unanimously by the Judiciary Committee last year. That bill would allow a woman to seek child support from her rapist even if and when child custody is terminated. In the course of doing some research, we found out that there is a very bizarre loophole in Pennsylvania law, in which if a woman is raped, impregnated, and has a child as the result of that rape, she can do one of only two things: She can seek to have her rapist's child custody rights revoked, or she can seek child custody, but she cannot do both. My amendment would close that loophole. I want to thank the gentleman from Delaware County, Mr. Hackett, as well as the gentleman from Philadelphia County, Mr. Cruz, for having the opportunity to work with them, and I urge the members to vote "yes." The SPEAKER. The question is, will the House agree to the amendment? On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Philadelphia County, Mr. Cruz. Mr. CRUZ. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, amendment 07416 is an agreed-to amendment. This amendment will consolidate 945 with Representative Schlossberg's amendment. Also, a little brief about it is that the court could only award custody to a rapist parent if the child is of a suitable age, consents to the court order, and the court determines that custody is in the best interest of the child. And I ask both sides of the aisle to please vote for the amendment. On the question recurring, Will the House agree to the amendment?

An Act amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21),

known as the Liquor Code, further providing for limiting number of retail licenses to be issued in each county, for unlawful acts relative to liquor, malt and brewed beverages and licensees and for limited wineries. On the question, Will the House agree to the bill on second consideration? Mr. PETRI offered the following amendment No. A07586:

Amend Bill, page 1, line 18, by inserting after "county" , for unlawful acts relative to liquor, malt and brewed beverages and

licensees and for limited wineries Amend Bill, page 3, by inserting between lines 11 and 12 Section 2. Section 493(34) of the act, amended July 5, 2012

(P.L.1007, No.116), is amended to read: Section 493. Unlawful Acts Relative to Liquor, Malt and

Brewed Beverages and Licensees.–The term "licensee," when used in this section, shall mean those persons licensed under the provisions of Article IV, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

It shall be unlawful– * * * (34) Noise. Notwithstanding any law or regulation to the

contrary, a licensee, other than a limited winery licensed pursuant to section 505.2, may not use or permit to be used inside or outside of the licensed premises a loudspeaker or similar device whereby the sound of music or other entertainment, or the advertisement thereof, can be heard beyond the licensee's property line; however, any licensee that is located in an area which is subject to an exemption from the board's regulation regarding amplified music being heard off the licensed premises shall be exempt from compliance with this paragraph until the expiration of the board's order granting the exemption. The board's regulation regarding amplified music being heard off the licensed premises is otherwise superseded by this paragraph.

Section 3. Section 505.2(a) of the act is amended by adding a paragraph to read:

Section 505.2. Limited Wineries.–(a) In the interest of promoting tourism and recreational development in Pennsylvania, holders of a limited winery license may:

* * * (7) Use, or permit to be used, inside or outside the licensed

premises, a loudspeaker or similar device whereby the sound of music or other entertainment, or the advertisement thereof, can be heard; however, if the licensee is located in an area that is subject to a municipal ordinance regarding amplified music, the municipality may subject the licensee to that ordinance.

* * * Amend Bill, page 3, line 12, by striking out "2" and inserting 4

On the question, Will the House agree to the amendment? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Bucks County, Mr. Petri. Mr. PETRI. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are here to consider a bill dealing with volunteer fire companies, and I would ask the members to support the amendment and the bill.

The SPEAKER. The question is, will the House agree to the amendment? Those in favor of the amendment will vote "aye"; those opposed "nay." Excuse me. The question is, will the House agree to the amendment? On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Delaware County, Mr. Vitali. Mr. VITALI. I just wanted to double-check what we are voting on, because there seems to be a disparity between what I was reading on my screen and— Are we on the right amendment? Can we just double-check that explanation? The SPEAKER. Is the gentleman making a— Are you asking a parliamentary inquiry? I am not sure what you are seeking. Mr. VITALI. Okay. The SPEAKER. I recognized you on the amendment. Mr. VITALI. Maybe I will just— On interrogation. And it may be that my computer is just messed up. So this bill deals with volunteer fire companies? The SPEAKER. Will the gentleman, Mr. Petri, stand for interrogation? Mr. PETRI. Yes. The SPEAKER. Will you hold the conversations down, please. It is just a little hard to hear sometimes. Will the gentleman, Mr. Vitali, restate his question. Mr. VITALI. Okay. I just wanted an explanation of the amendment because I think the amendment deals with wineries, and I was hearing argument about volunteer fire companies. So I just want to make sure we are voting on what we think we are voting on. So could I have an explanation of the amendment? Mr. PETRI. Certainly, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the amendment deals with limited wineries. Presently the PLCB (Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board) is authorized to enforce noise emanating from amplified music associated with wineries. Many of our wineries, Mr. Speaker, engage in music activities, whether it be associated with weddings or other events. This amendment would allow your municipality to enforce noise ordinances that they may have and would remove the burden of the PLCB from having to enforce those so-called violations for amplified music. Mr. VITALI. Okay. That concludes my interrogation. On the question recurring, Will the House agree to the amendment?

Amend Bill, page 1, lines 21 through 24, by striking out all of said lines and inserting

Section 1. Section 461(a), (b.1)(4), (7) and (8) and (b.2) of the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known as the Liquor Code, reenacted and amended June 29, 1987 (P.L.32, No.14), amended February 21, 2002 (P.L.103, No.10), November 29, 2006 (P.L.1421, No.155) and October 24, 2012 (P.L.1203, No.149), are amended to read:

Amend Bill, page 3, by inserting between lines 11 and 12 (b.1) The board may issue restaurant and eating place retail

dispenser licenses and renew licenses issued under this subsection without regard to the quota restrictions set forth in subsection (a) for the purpose of economic development in a municipality under the following conditions:

* * * (4) An applicant under this subsection shall be required to sell

food and nonalcoholic beverages equal to [seventy per centum (70%)] fifty per centum (50%) or more of its combined gross sales of food and alcoholic beverages.

* * * (7) An appeal of the board's decision refusing to grant or renew

a license under this subsection shall not act as a supersedeas of the decision of the board if the decision is based, in whole or in part, on the licensee's failure to demonstrate that its food and nonalcoholic beverages were at least [seventy per centum (70%)] fifty per centum (50%) of its combined gross sales of food and alcoholic beverages.

(8) A license issued under this subsection may not be validated or renewed unless the licensee can establish that its sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages during the license year immediately preceding application for validation or renewal is equal to [seventy per centum (70%)] fifty per centum (50%) or more of its food and alcoholic beverage sales.

(b.2) Qualified applicants under subsection (b.1) shall receive a provisional license for one hundred twenty days, exclusive of periods of safekeeping. After ninety days from the date of issuance, the licensee may file an application for a permanent license. A license shall be issued if the licensee establishes that for ninety consecutive days from the date of initial issue its sales of food and nonalcoholic beverages is equal to at least [seventy per centum (70%)] fifty per centum (50%) of its combined gross sales of food and alcoholic beverages. Licensees shall not be subject to citation by the Enforcement Bureau for a violation of the requirement that food and nonalcoholic beverages equal at least [seventy per centum (70%)] fifty per centum (50%) of the combined gross sales of food and alcoholic beverages during the provisional licensing period.

* * * On the question, Will the House agree to the amendment? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from York County, Mr. Schreiber. Mr. SCHREIBER. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What this amendment would do— I believe this is an agreed-to amendment. In 2004 the General Assembly created a new category of liquor licenses called economic development liquor licenses. These licenses have the potential to be a great catalyst for economic and community development throughout our Commonwealth. As well, they are very pro-small business. Unfortunately, right now licensees must maintain a 70-30 percent food to alcohol sale ratio, meaning 70 percent of their gross sales have to be food. What this amendment would do is reduce that ratio to 50 percent, which would remove a rather arduous and cumbersome barrier to entry for many of these licensees. This would not limit the enforcement of these licenses. This would not change the amount of licenses that are issued per year, nor would it change the ability to revoke a license if a nuisance bar is present. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On the question recurring, Will the House agree to the amendment?

* * * The House proceeded to second consideration of SB 771, PN 1797, entitled:


known as The Administrative Code of 1929, providing for the State Geospatial Coordinating Board.

On the question, Will the House agree to the bill on second consideration? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Vitali amendment, A07563, which was filed, is out of order in violation of the single-subject rule.

RULING OF CHAIR APPEALED

The SPEAKER. For what purpose does the gentleman from Delaware County, Mr. Vitali, rise? Mr. VITALI. To appeal the ruling of the Chair. The SPEAKER. The gentleman, Mr. Vitali, is challenging the ruling of the Chair that amendment A07563 is out of order. To clarify the ruling of the Chair, it is in violation of rule 20, "Bills Confined to One Subject." On the question, Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the House? The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Delaware County, Mr. Vitali. Mr. VITALI. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What this amendment would do would be to prohibit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources from leasing more State land for oil and gas development. It would in effect reinstate the moratorium signed by Governor Rendell in 2010. On May 23 Governor Corbett revoked this moratorium. I want to be clear what this amendment would not do. It would not affect the leasing of the over 700,000 acres of State land already leased. This amendment would in effect be a way to prevent Governor Corbett from enacting a plan— The SPEAKER. Will the gentleman suspend. Will the gentleman suspend. While certainly the Speaker is willing to give some latitude to give a little explanation of the underlying amendment, we are not debating the amendment. You should be addressing your debate as to why my ruling is either correct or incorrect in that it violates the single-subject rule as it relates to the underlying bill. Mr. VITALI. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The underlying bill would amend the Administrative Code to establish a State Geospatial Coordinating Board, and the relationship of that to my amendment may be subtle, but the analogy might be the value of State parks and forests are subtle. It is sometimes hard to appreciate the value of State parks and forests that campers and hikers and birders and such do, but there is a relationship here. There is a relationship between this Geospatial Coordinating Board and a moratorium on leasing of State parks and forests. The Geospatial Coordinating Board provides valuable information to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources on State forest management, and some of the information provided by the Geospatial Coordinating Board would help the Department of Conservation make decisions on the leasing of additional State land for drilling. Therefore, it is prudent to wait until this board is established and up and running and provides a higher quality of information so that we


can make intelligent decisions about leasing our State parks and forests, because the problem is we have leased out 700,000 acres already, and what is left are things like old grove forests, ancient forests, fragile ecosystems. So there is a real value in putting a moratorium on State park and forest leasing now. It has been cited that this is a way to raise needed revenue, but the severance tax, Mr. Speaker, is really the way we ought to be going as far as raising revenues here. This concept has the support— The SPEAKER. Will the gentleman suspend. That is not part of the debate. It is whether or not the ruling of the Chair is, in the opinion of the House, correct or incorrect. Mr. VITALI. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think you have given me a fair amount of leeway. I would just ask the body to do the right thing. You know, issues of this measure, there is a lot of discretion with this body. We have the discretion to do the right thing and protect our State parks and forests. This is what the people want. So I would ask that this amendment be allowed to move forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. On the appeal of the Chair, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Allegheny County, Mr. Dermody. Mr. DERMODY. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this amendment is germane to SB 771. Mr. Speaker, SB 771 deals with geospatial analysis. Geospatial analysis is instrumental in determining the effects that drilling in the Marcellus Shale have on our natural resources. In 2010 the DCNR issued a report based on spatial analysis, geospatial analysis that concluded "This mapping analysis demonstrates how any additional leasing involving surface disturbance upsets the sustainable balance DCNR is charged to maintain." In keeping with the primary uses of geospatial analysis in Pennsylvania, this amendment bans the leasing of land under the control of DCNR for additional drilling in order to give the State geospatial analysis coordinating board the time necessary to get up and running and make improvements to our geospatial mapping capabilities. Mr. Speaker, we should not put the cart before the horse. We need the improved analysis capabilities that will result from the State Geospatial Coordinating Board's work to be available before we authorize drilling that could potentially damage our State forest lands. Amendment 7563 is a necessary component of the scheme envisioned by SB 771, and as such is germane to the bill, and I encourage all my colleagues to overturn the ruling of the Chair. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. On the appeal of the Chair, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Lancaster County, Mr. Cutler. Mr. CUTLER. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to support the ruling of the Chair for the following reasons: Perhaps the gentleman's logic would be consistent if this were a consolidated title; however, it is not. Mr. Speaker, since it is not a consolidated title, we need a unifying theme. The gentleman's unifying theme that he is proposing here this afternoon is the fact that utilizing geospatial data is in and of itself a close enough relationship to amend a policy decision which can be rightly debated at a later time into an existing bill. Mr. Speaker, as the prime sponsor of the companion bill here in the House that we passed previously, I would point out that this is merely an advisory board. They are going to be making

recommendations about how the data is stored and shared amongst our municipalities and our counties. In that regard it is advisory. It is not a policymaking board, which this amendment clearly is. Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, if you reviewed prior records, this gentleman made a similar attempt with the Fiscal Code in prior years, and that decision was rightfully ruled out of order as well. By his own admission, it is a subtle or a stretch to get that nexus. I would urge the members to uphold the ruling of the Chair because it is appropriate with existing case law as well as it is consistent with prior precedent here in the House, and it is also consistent with the policy objective of the statement in the underlying bill. Thank you. The SPEAKER. The question is, shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the House? Those in favor of sustaining the Chair's decision will vote "aye"; those opposed, "no."

STATEMENT BY MR. NEILSON

The SPEAKER. The Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Philadelphia County, Mr. Neilson, under unanimous consent. Mr. NEILSON. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. You are standing between them and the gate, you know. Mr. NEILSON. I understand, Mr. Speaker. All kind words here. First off, Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the many people that helped me bring this bill to the floor today, especially the leaders in both chambers, the House and the Senate, which had passed unanimously on all occasions. While I would love to stay here and take full credit for this legislation, I must thank the Masonic Caucus. The Masonic Caucus, in both the House and the Senate, has worked over a year on this legislation – do not fall asleep on me now. They brought up the conversation of dyslexia in both chambers and brought it to the forefront, working side by side with Chairman Clymer and Chairman Roebuck, to make certain that we passed legislation that would actually help children in Pennsylvania, and I thank them all. The companion legislation, SB 873, introduced by Senator Wiley, along with HB 198 had more than 100 cosponsors combined, and it speaks volumes in regards to bipartisan efforts

put forth at times for the right reason, and this reason today is children. HB 198 is about children, giving them the tools to succeed in life. We must teach our children how to read so they can read to learn. By instituting an evidence-based early intervention program and properly identifying children with dyslexia and other reading deficiencies will benefit the children of Pennsylvania for generations. I speak of this through personal experience. My wife, Doris, is a great mom, and she searched high and low for answers. Our son was not advancing like our other two boys did at home. She went all over the place seeking the academic leaders throughout the area, and they told her all the different things. "Do not worry; he is a boy. He will catch up to the girls. It is okay. Look, he has problems hearing." But she worked and looked and sought for solutions. She finally found that solution at the Philadelphia Masonic Dyslexia Center, where they evaluated our son by the same type of testing HB 198 speaks about, and he was properly diagnosed and he was able to start beginning his journey to succeed just prior to me joining this chamber. My son, Ryan, was a lucky one, and this stuff should be provided for all the children of Pennsylvania. During this legislative process, we heard – from thousands of parents and children in letters, e-mails, public hearings – nightmares about finding help for their kids. Testing should be available for all children. Pennsylvania has always been a leader in our country, and as you prepare to depart from the chamber, as the Speaker pointed out, I ask you all to continue to lead this way. HB 198 is only a pilot program. We need to expand it. You will see by the evidence when they come back with the results of the program that we just passed here today, you will see that it needs to be instituted in every school. I say I have a personal interest, and I will give you a little personal story. When we learned about dyslexia, that was before I even dreamed about coming up to this chamber, and when I got here we started talking about dyslexia and we started doing something about it. In June a year ago, I introduced this bill. That Wednesday night I went home and my 7-year-old son was standing at the door waiting for me. He said, "Dad, you've got to sit down." Now, you know how it is. June, June; all right. You have got your bags packed. Your suit is over there. You cannot wait to get home, get in the house, take your shoes off, kick off, and relax. I said, "Ry, let me go take my shoes off and put this down." He said, "No, Dad. Dad, we need to talk. Sit down." So I sat down. My 7-year-old son told me, "I got thrown out of school today, Dad." Seven years old, got thrown out of school. I am like, "Oh," just like everybody else. "What happened?" "Dad, I'm too smart." After 10 1/2 months of doing this Orton-Gillingham program, he went from reading at a first grade level to a third grade level; first grade to third grade, 10 1/2 months. It is 1 hour a week. That is all it took, that is all it took, and that is what this pilot program will do. Now, he will have dyslexia his whole life. It is nothing that can be cured. This summer he will go 2 hours a day for a week just to brush up on his skills, and he will do that, but he will be okay because we gave him the tools. And I hope as I leave the chamber – I will give that speech another day – but please work together for our children and expand this. When you get the results, I will be back for sure, but please, and thank you today for your support and your vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
