Pennsylvania House Democrats are proposing a process to determine if state representatives are “incapacitated” and to sanction or expel them
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania House Democrats on Thursday proposed a process to determine if state representatives are “incapacitated” and to sanction or expel them, moving in the wake of intense criticism after one of their members voted remotely this week while being sought on charges he violated a restraining order.
The resolution introduced by Majority Leader Matt Bradford, of Montgomery County, would establish a new group consisting of five House leaders to determine if a representative is impaired physically or mentally so that they are not able to perform their duties.
