The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Philadelphia, Senator Tartaglione. Senator TARTAGLIONE. Mr. President, I rise in support of Senate Bill No. 1352, and I commend the maker of the bill for bringing this proposal forward. Back in 2023, Senator Brooks and I partnered on legislation that was signed into law as Act 66, which made the first dent in the complex regulatory landscape facing the recovery workforce and treatment providers. While that legislation dealt with loosening staff ratios and burdensome credentialing requirements, Senate Bill No. 1352 tackles the current annual audit, which treatment providers constantly cite as an expensive distraction from their mission of helping Pennsylvanians struggle with addiction. As such, pushing this audit to cover a 2-year license instead of just 1 year is another meaningful step in tightening load on treatment providers so they can do their best work. Let us face it folks, our treatment providers and our recovery workforce have been struggling as it is. As someone in recovery for 23 years, whose life was saved by enrolling in an alcohol treatment program, it pains me to say it, but another storm is on the horizon. With the Federal H.R. 1 going into effect in 2027, and significant numbers of people losing their Medicaid that covers the enrollment in addiction treatment programs, we are talking about more people unable to seek treatment and providers losing the clients that keep them above the water on already tight budgets. Sadly, the effects of [Federal] H.R. 1 are out of this General Assembly's control, but we can do this to mitigate the damage. Senate Bill No. 1352 represents a commonsense effort to ease the burden on our recovery assistance system, and I urge an affirmative vote. Thank you, Mr. President.

The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Allegheny, Senator Lindsey Williams. Senator L. WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I am happy to have this opportunity to share with everyone how and when the Seal of Biliteracy started in Pennsylvania. Back in 2022, multiple students at the Shaler Area High School sent me personalized letters-handwritten letters--sharing their experience learning a second language and how it helps to, quote, break down global barriers to lasting relationships with other nations. They educated me about the existence of a Seal of Biliteracy in other States and asked for my help in bringing it to Pennsylvania. My office took those letters to then-Secretary of Education Noe Ortega, and, soon after, PDE administratively created the Pennsylvania Seal of Biliteracy. In fact, the very last thing that Dr. Ortega did as Secretary was to come to my Senate district and thank the Shaler Area students for their advocacy, noting that without their voices, it probably would not have happened. These students are a prime example of how good things can happen when policymakers listen to the people most impacted. I am sure the students who helped create the seal back in 2022 will be happy to hear of House Bill No. 1877's efforts to codify it for future students. Thank you, Mr. President.

The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Philadelphia, Senator Tartaglione. Senator TARTAGLIONE. Mr. President, I rise today because it has been 7,289 days since Pennsylvania last raised the minimum wage. Once again, I find myself asking a very simple question: if $7.25 an hour is the right wage for Pennsylvania workers, then why will we not vote on it? Two weeks ago, Senate Democrats filed discharge petitions to bring the House-passed minimum wage bill out of committee and onto this floor, and we did this because working Pennsylvanians deserve a vote. The House acted months ago. Poll after poll shows broad public support for action, yet House Bill No. 2189 remains stuck in committee without a hearing, without a debate, and without a vote. What message does that send to people earning [$]7.25 an hour? The people earning minimum wage are not asking for luxury; they are not asking to get rich. They are asking for the ability to pay their rent, keep food on their table, fill up their gas tank, and keep up with the cost of living. And, mostly, they deserve to know where their elected officials stand. If Senators believe [$]7.25 an hour is enough to live on in 2026, then we should vote that way publicly. If Senators believe workers deserve a raise, then they should vote accordingly. But refusing to vote at all is not leadership; refusing to debate the question is not leadership; keeping the bill trapped in committee indefinitely is not leadership. Pennsylvania workers deserve transparency, they deserve accountability, and, after two decades without a raise, they deserve action. Let us stop avoiding this conversation; let us bring this bill to the floor; let us cast our votes and let the people of Pennsylvania see where their Senators stand. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Senator Elder A. Vogel, Jr.) in the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following Senate Bill numbered, entitled, and referred as follows, which was read by the Clerk: June 22, 2026 Senators BAKER, LANGERHOLC, K.
