New 2017-18 Session Now Underway with Swearing-In Day…
On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives convened so that the oath of office could be administered to House members. The House is now comprised of 121 Republicans and 81 Democrats, including 23 first-term members. It was an honor to take the oath of office again. The day also included certification of election results, election of the House parliamentarian and adoption of rules that will govern the chamber. Earlier this week Speaker Mike Turzai announced the chairman of the standing committees. Each committee will reorganize on Jan. 23. Member assignments for each committee will be announced shortly. The governor’s budget address is scheduled for Feb. 7. You can also find out more as the session goes along at RepDelozier.com and my Facebook page at facebook.com/RepDelozier/.

Applications for 2017 Pennsylvania House Scholarships Now Available … High school seniors can now apply for a Pennsylvania House of Representatives Scholarship to help cover the costs of higher education. Each year, two students preparing for post-secondary education are awarded four-year scholarships through the program. It is open to graduating high school seniors who are Pennsylvania residents with plans to attend a Pennsylvania college, university or career school as a full-time student. Students must have attained a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in high school in order to be eligible for the scholarship. A student’s commitment to community, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and financial need are also taken into consideration. To apply, interested students should visit RepDelozier.com and click on House Scholarship Information. The application deadline is March 1. The program is privately funded by individual and corporate donors. No tax money or other public funds are used.

511PAConnect Seeks to Keep Stranded Motorists Safe, Informed … A new service called 511PAConnect has been launched to provide updates to motorists in the event of a long-term road closure due to accidents on the Pennsylvania Turnpike or other major state roadways. The service will be activated when personnel from the PA Turnpike and PennDOT identify a potential long-term closure, with the system being used only for emergencies that will last for a sustained period. The system will only work in areas with cell phone service. Motorists who receive the alert will have the option of registering for automatic text messages or phone call updates, along with follow-up notifications from turnpike and PennDOT staff monitoring the closure. Once the incident is resolved, motorists who registered for the alerts will automatically be unsubscribed and all personal data will be scrubbed from the system. PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission offer a variety of tools to keep travelers informed during all levels of incidents -- including the 511PA smartphone app, a phone number, online sources and social media platforms -- but 511PAConnect is the first initiative of its kind to link directly to a targeted group of travelers who are being impacted by, or who are approaching, a large-scale emergency.
