HARRISBURG, April 12 – State Rep. Jeanne McNeill announced today her legislation to protect students who are caught in school district disputes has been moved out of the House Education Committee, 17-4. “Every Pennsylvania child deserves a quality education and when a residency dispute arises between a child’s parents or caregivers and the school district, the child should not be punished while the two sides resolve the issue,” said McNeill, D-Lehigh. “For districts to pull a student is callous and uncaring and punishes the child through no fault of their own.” Under House Bill 663, in the event of a residency dispute between school districts, a school district would not be permitted to remove a child from school until the dispute has been fully resolved and it has been determined which school district should correctly enroll the child. McNeill said this issue is of particular interest to her as one occurrence happened in her district involving a student with a disability who, for more than 30 days, had been without the supportive educational instruction and caring support they so importantly needed. Added McNeill, “I would like to thank Education Committee Majority Chairman Peter Schweyer for recognizing the importance of this bill and bringing it to the committee for approval.” H.B. 663 now heads to the full House for consideration. This is the second piece of legislation from McNeill to be approved out of Read more
State Rep. Jeanne McNeill, D-133rd announced that she has reintroduced legislation to protect animals from inhumane treatment in the puppy mill industry. Read more
HARRISBURG, April 5 – State Rep. Jeanne McNeill has reintroduced legislation that would protect animals from inhumane conditions propagated by the puppy mill industry. “It is truly horrifying and upsetting to see beautiful animals that have had to endure the cruel, inhumane conditions from puppy mills,” said McNeill, D-Lehigh. “I have seen firsthand the effects puppy mills have had on animals. Dogs and cats that are weak, malnourished, neglected, subjected to overbreeding and poor or no veterinary care. It is time for action and to hold these irresponsible breeders accountable for their actions and protect those who do not have a voice.” Under McNeill’s legislation (H.B. 846), known as Victoria’s Law, Pennsylvania’s pet market would be driven toward more humane sources, such as shelters, rescues and responsible breeders. It would also protect pet seekers from misleading sales tactics, stop the sale of puppy mill dogs, cats and rabbits, and require advertisers to include license numbers on their advertisements so that consumers have access to information on both responsible and unscrupulous breeders. Victoria’s Law is named after Victoria, a German Shepherd that was rescued from a Pennsylvania puppy mill after 10 years of breeding. By the time she was rescued, she was paralyzed as a result of a genetic, neurological disorder called Degenerative Myelopathy, a disease she passed down to the estimated 150-200 puppies Read more
