🚨🚨🚨Remember COVID?
Schools closed. Children were masked. Businesses were restricted. Families dealt with quarantine and contact tracing. Government decisions suddenly affected nearly every part of our everyday lives.
Most of us weren’t reading statutes or regulations then. But we started asking an important question:
What authority does the government actually have—and what limits should there be?
Those questions went to the courts. And in 2021, Pennsylvania voters amended our state Constitution to place new limits and legislative checks on disaster emergency declarations.
Now, the Pennsylvania Department of Health is proposing a major rewrite of 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27, the regulations governing communicable and noncommunicable diseases.
The proposal addresses disease-control authority, access to students for contact tracing, medical records, school exclusions, food and agricultural products, religious accommodations, disease reporting and more.
These regulations are NOT final. We have an opportunity to speak up before they are.
If COVID taught us anything, it’s that we shouldn’t wait until the next emergency to ask what authority government has and what protections exist for our rights.
