HARRISBURG, Oct. 3 – State Rep. Brian Munroe, D–Bucks, was named to the PA House Commerce and Professional Licensure committees this week.
The Commerce Committee evaluates legislation involving the banking and financial services industries. The committee has oversight over the Department of Banking, Department of Community and Economic Development, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, the Securities Commission and the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority to ensure that Pennsylvania stays competitive in a world marketplace.
The Professional Licensure Committee reviews bills that pertain to positions requiring licensing for qualified employees and businesses. Its scope includes businesses as diverse as funeral homes and cemeteries to auctioneers, pharmacists and beauticians.
“These new assignments will help me serve the residents of western Bucks County and Pennsylvania,” Munroe said.
The assignments are a result of H.R. 168, which allows for four additional members on 23 of the PA House’s 24 standing committee.
In addition, Munroe will also continue his work on the Consumer Protection, Technology & Utilities, Insurance, Local Government, and Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committees.
