As my time in the House comes to an end, I'd like to thank the good people of the 38th Legislative District for the opportunity to serve you. It's truly been an honor.

As I ride off into the sunset, I wish each of you a Merry Christmas & all the best in the New Year.

Buying a home is one of the most important - and expensive - purchases in a person's lifetime. That's why it's so important that we have additional licensure and oversight standards in place regarding home inspectors to ensure consumers are protected.

Sportsman clubs and other firearms-related businesses should remain open, regardless of any state emergency declaration!

Our school students (and staff) deserve safe places to learn, and these grants will certainly help in that effort.

Scott Hirsh didn't deserve to die.

In his memory and honor, I want to do all I can to ensure drivers are reminded to drivers to ‘MOVE OVER’ and slow down when they approach a disabled vehicle - it could save a life, including yours.

Tomorrow, we will pause to observe Veterans Day & honor the courage and commitment of our nation's veterans, including all active military members & their families. I want to personally thank our veterans & current military personnel for their service, sacrifice, and bravery.

November is National Home & Hospice Care Month - it's a great time to honor the millions of nurses, home care aides, therapists, and social workers who make a remarkable difference for the patients and families they serve.

Hard-working election officials in our county are counting votes to make sure the people’s voice is heard. What can we do? Be patient -the election is not final until EVERY citizen’s vote is counted. It’s the American way.

Today is Election Day. If you decided to not drop your vote-by-mail ballot off at your county election office by 8 PM today & instead want to vote in-person, you have the right. Bring your ballot and both return envelopes, a mask, and some patience.

Have you decided to vote in-person at your polling place instead of hand-delivering your vote-by-mail ballot to your county election office? Bring your ballot and both return envelopes, a mask, and some patience. Get more facts here: https://t.co/X9cnWKYUoX

Halloween is today and I hope yours is a safe and happy celebration.

Halloween night also means it’s time to turn our clocks back one hour before bed and don’t forget to check the batteries in your smoke & CO and replace them, if needed.

Senator Iovino’s guidance was critical to getting the language correct and it was a pleasure to work with the senator on this bi-partisan, bi-cameral effort to address this pressing issue.

[Rep. Bill Kortz @RepBillKortz]

I was very happy to work with Senator Pam Iovino on the amendment to SB 1281 which today was signed into law by Governor Wolf. The bill, as amended, will address the tragedy that occurred to our constituent, Scott Hirsch, while he was changing a flat tire along the interstate.

[Rep. Bill Kortz @RepBillKortz]

While this law will not bring Scott back; it will provide consequences to drivers who fail to “Move Over” for a vehicle stopped on the side of a road.

It's difficult to believe that it's been two years today since the tragic event at the Tree of Life building in Pittsburgh.

A special virtual commemorative gathering will be held later today by the 10/27 Healing Partnership: https://t.co/BH8xVgdBV4
