This week, U.S. Representative Susan Wild (D-PA) led eight of her colleagues in the Pennsylvania Delegation in calling on House leadership to include the RESTAURANTS Act in any forthcoming COVID-19 relief legislation. An original cosponsor of this vital legislation, Wild has championed the need for tailored aid for the restaurant community in Pennsylvania and across the country to make sure these small businesses can survive this crisis.

Today, U.S. Representative Susan Wild (D-PA) and Rep. Fred Keller (R-PA) joined in reintroducing the Nurses CARE Act for the 117th Congress. This bipartisan bill seeks to ensure long-term care and senior living facilities can maintain adequate staffing levels by allowing temporary nurse aides to retain their certification status after the COVID-19 emergency declaration has been lifted.

Today, U.S. Representative Susan Wild (PA-07) released the following statement regarding this week’s events at the U.S. Capitol:

Today, U.S. Representative Susan Wild (PA-07) introduced the Promoting Responsible Emergency Protocols (PREP) for all Students Act to keep all students safe when extreme weather strikes or on-campus violence occurs. During the 2017-2018 school year, 16 to 18 percent of children had a disability or developmental delay. As natural disasters such as flooding and wildfires rise in the United States and on-campus violence spikes, safety recommendations for schools and child care settings must evolve to integrate the needs of young children and youth with disabilities. The PREP for all Students Act would ensure that public schools, early child care education centers and institutions of higher education have the tools they need to develop inclusive emergency preparedness protocols. U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.
