Pennsylvania House approves home rule session power shift
In a brisk one day session in Harrisburg the House and Senate passed a home rule bill allowing local governments to draft charters and govern more independently while preserving core state controls. The package also relabeled narcotics penalties and added a Governor's Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse. The drug reform bill redefines possession and trafficking penalties and sets standards for rehabilitation programs. The Senate delayed action on tax relief for servicemen and on standardized modular and mobile housing rules, with actions postponed until next month.
