Hannah's Bills!

Federal:
HR 1283
This bill would repeal the Don't Ask, Don't
Tell policy of the armed forces. It would also then add "sexual
orientation" into the non-discrimination policy of the military as
something by which you cannot discriminate.
So far, nothing has
happened with this bill since the end of March, when it was referred to
sub-committee. However, the lead sponsor changed, and perhaps that will
spur some action eventually. However, it is more likely that this bill
will go nowhere, seeing as that is how far it's gone so far.
State:
HB 1321
This
will add a section to the application for a learner's permit, license,
or state ID card, wherein applicants can consent or not consent to be
registered with the Selective Service System.
This bill was
re-re-committed to the Rules sub-committee in mid-June. As this bill is
requiring PA to get into compliance with a federal act, I think it will
eventually pass.
City:
Bill 090587
This would prohibit vending on either side of Aramingo Ave, between Lehigh Ave and Duncan.
It was only introduced on the 17th, so I don't, know where it will go, if anywhere.
