House Bill 923 was recently signed into law, becoming Act 49 of 2025. This new law ensures that seniors remain eligible for PACE and PACENET – the state’s two prescription assistance programs – even if Social Security cost-of-living increases push them over the income limit. The law protects PACE and PACENET access for seniors in this group through December of 2027.

Four state-funded grants were awarded to projects in my district last week totaling over $1.3 million!

 

I am happy to announce that these funds will directly support essential services that our community members rely on every day. From expanding access to dental care to strengthening public facilities and planning for future needs, these projects reflect people-centered investments that I was proud to advocate for with my partners at the state and local level.

 

Here is a breakdown of the funds awarded:

• $625,123 to the Montgomery County Redevelopment Authority to support the expansion of the Manor College Dental Health Center (secured in collaboration with state Rep. Ben Sanchez and Sen. Art Haywood).

• $380,920 to Upper Moreland Township to purchase and install an access control system and a camera system at its new police department building (secured in collaboration with state Sen. Maria Collett).

• $250,000 to Lower Moreland Township for land acquisition (secured in collaboration with Collett).

• $63,000 to Upper Moreland Township for improvements at Woodlawn Park (secured in collaboration with Collett).

The first three grants were awarded through the Local Share Account- Statewide grant program and the fourth was awarded through the Greenways, Trails, and Recreation Program.
