| Monday, September 26 | Property Tax with Rep. Frank Ryan Lawmakers have been debating ways to reduce or eliminate Pennsylvania's property tax for decades. Rep. Frank Ryan wants to eliminate the state property tax and replace the revenue with both a higher sales tax and income tax. One method to achieve these goals is through a bill in the legislature. The other lets voters decide if they want to change the state constitution. |
| Tuesday, September 27 | Alcohol Purchase Self Exclusion with Rep. Matt Dowling Pennsylvanians with an alcohol problem could voluntarily exclude themselves from purchasing liquor at state stores, beer distributors, convenience stores, bars and restaurants by submitting an application to the Liquor Control Board that would bar them from purchasing alcohol for up to 5 years. |
| Wednesday, September 28 | Criminal Records Clean Slate Law with Rep. Sheryl Delozier Pennsylvania's Clean Slate Law, the first of its kind in the nation, gives offenders a second chance after they've paid their debt to society. If they stay out of trouble for 10 years, records of certain offenses cannot be viewed by potential employers and landlords. Rep. Delozier says it's time to expand the law, and make changes that reflect lessons learned since the law was enacted in 2018. |
