(8 hours ago)

HARRISBURG, Sept. 30 – The Pennsylvania House today passed bipartisan legislation that would regulate the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare, ensuring that all Pennsylvanians can have confidence that AI is being utilized in a beneficial manner when receiving clinical care or when insurers are reviewing coverage of specific healthcare recommendations, announced the legislation's co-prime sponsors, state Reps. Arvind Venkat, Joe Hogan, Tarik Khan, Bridget Kosierowski and Greg Scott. House Bill 1925 would provide new regulations for how AI is utilized and reported by insurers, hospitals and clinicians. These groups would need to provide transparency to patients and the public as to how AI is being used in their companies or practice settings. "The usage of AI is expanding rapidly into nearly every field, and healthcare is no exception," said Venkat, D-Allegheny . "As the General Assembly's only physician, I have seen this development take place in real time. It is vital that patients are confident that AI is being used responsibly and effectively in their care. I thank my House colleagues who partnered on this legislation and helped it to pass in a bipartisan manner. Protecting trust in our healthcare system is vital to the safety and future of all Pennsylvanians." "Patients deserve to know when artificial intelligence is involved in their healthcare, and they should have full Read more

Khan and Colleagues Announce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Pennsylvanians from Misuse of Flock and License Plate Reader Data

(Aug 10, 2026)

HARRISBURG, Aug. 10 — State Reps. Tarik Khan, D-Phila.; Robert Leadbeter, R-Columbia; Jennifer O’Mara, D-Delaware; Napoleon Nelson, D-Montgomery; and Nate Davidson, D-Cumberland/Dauphin, today announced plans to introduce bipartisan legislation establishing statewide privacy and accountability protections for automated license plate reader systems, including Flock Safety cameras.License plate readers are becoming increasingly common across Pennsylvania. While the technology can assist law enforcement in recovering stolen vehicles and solving crimes, its expansion raises important questions about personal information, privacy, and civil liberties. Reports from around the country have documented concerns about misuse, including instances in which individuals with authorized access allegedly used the data to stalk former partners, track acquaintances, or conduct searches for personal reasons.

Lawmakers call for end to corporate money in politics

(Aug 05, 2026)

NORRISTOWN, Aug. 5 – A coalition of state lawmakers gathered with election reform advocates in Centennial Park today to urge the passage of legislation that would rein in the nearly limitless influence that corporations have over elections. State Reps. Joe Webster, Tarik Khan and Paul Friel joined local advocates to formally announce House Bill 2728, a bill that would prohibit corporations from spending unlimited money on political ads and other communications in Pennsylvania. The legislation Webster, Khan and Friel co-wrote with Rep. Ben Waxman seeks to mitigate the influence that unlimited dark money has had on elections since 2010, when the U.S. Supreme Court in its Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision lifted the bans preventing corporations and organizations from using their funds to run political ads or broadcast messages supporting or attacking candidates. Webster said that in 2024 alone, federal elections saw over $4 billion in outside spending, nearly 12 times more than the amount spent in 2008. He said the trend has caused the voices of ordinary voters in U.S. elections to be drowned out by corporations seeking to gain more influence in government policymaking. Balancing the scales should be a top priority. “There are a hundred or more very important, complex, difficult issues that Pennsylvania and its legislators need to work on, head-on, and one of those is the political influence of Read more
