(Jan 27, 2022) Rep. Melissa Shusterman

HARRISBURG, Jan. 27 – State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, said she applauds the unanimous passage of Pennsylvania H.B. 253 . The bill was signed into law as Act 2 of 2022 by Gov. Tom Wolf and delivers $225 million in federal American Rescue Plan funding to help nurses and health care workers who have been on the front lines battling COVID-19 for two years. The House Appropriations Committee estimates $1,282,271 of that funding would go directly to facilities in Chester County. Paoli Hospital would receive $657,651, Phoenixville Hospital would receive $409,964, and The Devereux Children’s Behavioral Health Institute would receive $214,656. The Department of Human Services will make the final determinization of funding. “This money is going where it is needed most, to our overworked health care workers here in Chester County,” Shusterman said. “I am proud the state House was able to come together and pass this important bipartisan legislation, and I look forward to seeing these funds invested in our local health care facilities.” Per Act 2, $100 million will be provided to hospitals in the state to provide much needed retention and recruitment funds; $110 million would be provided to hospitals that provide behavioral health services, serve a high amount of Medical Assistance clients, or are in some of our most rural parts of the state; an additional $15 million will be Read more

(Jan 20, 2022) Rep. Melissa Shusterman

HARRISBURG, Jan. 20 – Members of the LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus are introducing legislation that would destigmatize and create a safer and easier name-change process for LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians, especially transgender, non-binary and gender expansive people in the commonwealth. The Pennsylvania LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus is a bipartisan and bicameral caucus made up of members of the General Assembly whose mission is to advocate for equality for LGBTQ+ communities across Pennsylvania. Reps. Brian Sims, D-Phila., Dan Frankel, D-Allegheny, and Sen. Katie Muth, D-Berks/Chester/Montgomery, are co-chairs of the caucus. Spurred by a Pennsylvania Senate Policy Committee hearing on the barriers in Pennsylvania for the transgender community in June 2021, members of the caucus worked with stakeholders to draft six key pieces of legislation to update Pennsylvania’s antiquated name change process and provide funding and safeguards for those seeking to change their name. The legislative package is being co-authored by Frankel and Muth, Reps. Nancy Guenst, D-Montgomery/Phila., Emily Kinkead, D-Allegheny, Ben Sanchez, D-Montgomery, Melissa Shusterman, D-Montgomery, and Joe Webster, D-Montgomery; and state Sens.

Shusterman, Miller introduce student inclusion bill

(Dec 17, 2021) Rep. Melissa Shusterman

HARRISBURG, Dec. 17 – State Reps. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, and Dan Miller, D-Allegheny, introduced legislation this week that would make sure students with exceptionalities are involved in all aspects of schools and receiving real opportunities. “We have made great strides in making sure all students, regardless of their abilities, are included in the classroom setting,” Shusterman said. “This bill would make sure that inclusion is also happening in all before- and after-school events. Including all students gives them the opportunity to discover new things, make friends and gain valuable soft skills for life.” On average, 17% of Pennsylvania students have an Individualized Education Program, but Shusterman and Miller say many report no integration into extracurricular activities. “Over the last several years, Pennsylvania has had some success in including students with disabilities more and more into the classroom, sending the message that each child deserves a safe and inclusive learning environment,” Miller said. “However, there is still work to do in expanding the way we make things like athletics, band and the arts accessible to all students regardless of whether they have a disability. This bill would help us see how we are engaging all students, how we can increase extracurricular participation, and help our public school districts identify what is and isn’t working as we work together Read more

HARRISBURG, Dec. 13 – State Reps. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, Malcolm Kenyatta and Elizabeth Fiedler, both D-Phila., introduced a new bill to provide emergency financial relief to help the most vulnerable. It would reinstate funding provided through the General Assistance program, which was ended last session. This new bill would once again provide $200 on average a month to those who were unable to work, those caring for loved ones who were sick or disabled, veterans, women fleeing domestic violence and adults receiving substance abuse treatment. “Many in Pennsylvania are still struggling because of COVID-19,” Shusterman said. “When the General Assistance program was ended, so too was a lifeline many people were depending on to help them. This bill would make sure we are continuing to protect those who need it the most.” "General Assistance is a lifeline for thousands of Pennsylvanians,” Kenyatta said. “Taking it away is a travesty that affects families and others in need all across our commonwealth. We must fight to protect the most vulnerable citizens of our society." “It is cruel and immoral to tear dollars out of the hands of people who are literally unable to buy food or pay for bus fare without general assistance,” Fiedler said. “Since the General Assistance program has been removed, we must provide some assistance program to help those who were receiving support Read more

Phoenixville, Dec. 8 – State. Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, today announced the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency has awarded $58,726 to Phoenixville Borough for its Downtown Church Street Camera Project. “I am thrilled to announce the approval of this grant,” Shusterman said. “This funding will provide an extra level of safety and security for business owners and residents in the borough of Phoenixville.” This project will give the borough the capability to review video of crimes that occur in the community, protecting residents and all those who come within its jurisdiction.

The funding, which is through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant, will be used to pay for cameras and equipment needed to store video. One of the goals of this grant is to help fund technologies that support transparency and information sharing between law enforcement and communities. The funds may be used for software/hardware solutions designed to enhance agency transparency with the capability of facilitating information sharing with the public, promoting an agency’s work, and developing data-driven programs that improve public safety and build trust.

Rep. Shusterman announces $2 million in funding for project in Tredyffrin Township

(Dec 07, 2021) Rep. Melissa Shusterman

PHOENIXVILLE, Dec. 7 – State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, announced today $2 million in state funding has been awarded to further economic development in Tredyffrin Township. Shusterman was instrumental in securing the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant funding that will help 675 Swedesford Road, LLC construct a two-story parking structure to support its timber-built office headquarters. “This grant is an investment in the future of business in Chester County,” said Shusterman, who was appointed to serve on the Pennsylvania Workforce Development Board by Gov. Tom Wolf in May 2021. “New development like this project is essential to bring more jobs and opportunities to the people of our county, while also creating a more sustainable working environment.” 675 E. Swedesford Road headquarters is a proposed 5-story office space at the corner of East Swedesford Road and Old Eagle School Road. It is a new class of office space with a biophilic design using 36,000 square feet of reclaimed wood for ceilings, floors, and conference rooms. Wood has a low manufacturing carbon footprint and is the only material that can remove carbon from the atmosphere. Through this project, 470 metric tons of carbon dioxide will be permanently sequestered, and by using wood instead of steel, another 1,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions will never be produced.

Rep. Shusterman introduces bill to prohibit small plastic bottles in all lodging establishments

(Dec 07, 2021) Rep. Melissa Shusterman

HARRISBURG, Dec. 7 – State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D-Chester/Montgomery, today introduced new legislation to ban small plastic bottles in lodging establishments. To prevent significant plastic waste, this bill would prohibit the entities from offering guests personal care items in small plastic bottles. Businesses would also save money by opting for bulk dispensers for personal care items. The world produces about 300 tons of plastic per year and only recycles 9 percent. Nearly 150 tons of this plastic is for single-use items. It then ends up in landfills and waterways and over time breaks down into microplastics that have been found to pollute our soil, water, and even our own bodies. “Across our commonwealth and our country, we face significant challenges in recycling plastic materials,” said Shusterman. “It is crucial for us to find ways to cut down on our usage, and I believe that simple, money-saving solutions like these can help make a substantial impact. Consumers and businesses alike can benefit from reducing single-use plastics and establishing more sustainable standards for travel and lodging.” Many hotel brands are leading the way in ecotourism by no longer offering single-use toiletries in their guest rooms. Shusterman said that not only is this move good for the environment, but it also will save businesses money. State Rep. Mary Jo Daley, chair of the House Tourism and Recreational Development Committee, agreed. Read more

State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, D- Chester/Montgomery, today announced a $212,330 state grant poised to enhance and propel a road project in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. This grant was awarded through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Multimodal Transportation Fund program. “This grant award is vital in ensuring we continue evaluating and upgrading our roadways in Montgomery County to make them safer for everyone,” Shusterman said. “Being cognizant that there are certain roadways and intersections that have safety concerns which must be addressed is a step in the right direction. “I look forward to having the continued opportunity to expand the availability of state resources to enhance the safety of our roadways. I applaud this funding and look forward to seeing this envisioned project become a reality,” she added. Upper Providence Township was awarded $212,330 to be used for preliminary engineering costs for a roundabout at the intersection of Dreibelbis Road, Black Rock Road, and 2 nd Avenue.

Knowing full well that not all local veterans were able to attend my breakfast due to mobility reasons or prior obligations, I wanted to ensure everyone who served receives a proper thank you.” Shusterman added, “While showing appreciation for our servicemembers, both past and present, on Veterans Day is vital, we should be thanking these heroes at every opportunity that presents itself.” Residents with questions or those who would like to receive information on upcoming veterans events, veterans’ services and legislative updates can sign up for Shusterman’s emails by emailing Read more
