Submit Public Comments: Department of Health Regulations

I’m calling on the Shapiro administration to withdraw proposed Department of Health regulations reminiscent of COVID lockdown-era government policy that would infringe upon constitutional norms and civil liberties. You can join me by submitting your feedback.

Policies with such significant impacts on students, families and communities should be debated openly by the Legislature, not imposed through regulation. We learned important lessons about government overreach during COVID, and we should not repeat those mistakes.

These regulations have not yet been implemented and are currently before the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC). They are still open to public comments until Sept. 21.

Comment letters must be EMAILED to irrc@irrc.state.pa.us OR RA-DHCHAPTR27PROPREG@pa.gov.

Your email should reference the following in the subject line: Rulemaking #10-242: Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases; IRRC #3490.

If the email does not have that subject line, the IRRC will not read your comments.
