House Passes House Concurrent Resolution 836 To End Treating Essential, Non-Essential Businesses Differently Under COVID-19 Emergency By Vote Of 119 to 83 [10 Democrats Voting Yes]. It Now Moves To Senate For Action. Republicans believe if passed by the Senate it will go into effect. The Wolf Administration disagrees, pointing to a provision in the state constitution requiring presentment of all concurrent resolutions to the Governor for his action. [Note: The Resolution is sponsored by Rep. Diamond (R-Lebanon) who is self-quarantining due to a potential exposure to someone with COVID-19. He is one of two House members in the middle of the political storm over whether he should have disclosed that fact to other members of the House for their safety.]
