Today, the #PASenate Communications and Technology Committee passed my legislation, Senate Bill 1368, to ban #AI-powered nudification apps from being developed, operated, or made available in Pennsylvania.
These apps can take an innocent photo and create fake nude or sexually explicit images without a personโs consent, causing serious emotional, reputational, and psychological harm, especially to children and young people.
Safe to say heโs not a puppy anymore, heโs officially outgrown Rickโs arms. Happy Tango Tuesday! ๐พ๐ถ๐ฆด
The #PASenate has unanimously approved my resolution to establish a Task Force on Child Protection in the Digital Age.
As technology rapidly evolves, so do the risks facing children online. This task force will review existing laws, assess emerging technologies, and identify gaps in protections to help ensure Pennsylvania keeps pace with new digital threats.

Great having Diane Granger and her family join us in the Capitol this week. The Grangers are active members of the East Greenville community, and it was a pleasure recognizing them during Session.
Glad they could be here to share the day with us!
A little excitement at the Capitol this week with a visit from Pennsylvaniaโs most famous weather forecaster, Punxsutawney Phil! ๐ฆซ
On Saturday, I stopped by the Telford Diving & Rescue Unit to congratulate them on securing $75,000 in funding that I secured to support their important work.
This funding will help them purchase new rescue equipment, including a utility truck, strengthening their ability to respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations.
Iโm grateful for the dedication of these volunteers who put themselves on the line every day to protect our community, and Iโm proud to have delivered this investment to ensure they have the resources they need to do their job safely and effectively.
Congratulations to the student-athletes who visited the Capitol this week to be recognized for winning state wrestling championships! ๐คผ๐
It was a pleasure to honor these talented wrestlers and celebrate the dedication, discipline, and countless hours of effort that contributed to their success. Their achievements reflect not only individual talent, but also the support of their coaches, teammates, families, and school communities.
Congratulations on an outstanding accomplishment, and best wishes for continued success in the future!

Learning to read is the foundation for success in school, the workforce, and life. That`s why I was proud to join the Pennsylvania Literacy Coalition to discuss the importance of implementing Act 47, which will bring evidence-based reading instruction, educator training, and universal K-3 literacy screening to schools across the Commonwealth.
Passing the law was an important first step, but successful implementation is what will make a difference for Pennsylvania students. By investing in literacy, we are investing in our children, our communities, and our future.
