Following is a listing of executive and legal action for the week of April 29. The General Assembly was in recess at press time. Members of the Pennsylvania Senate and state House of Representatives were scheduled to return to session Monday.
Lieutenant Governor
The Pennsylvania Senate on April 29, with a vote of 46-2, passed bipartisan legislation to amend the state constitution to change how the lieutenant governor is selected in Pennsylvania.
Senate Bill 133, which would amend the state's constitution to permit candidates for governor to choose their lieutenant governor candidate after the primary election, was approved on a 46-2 vote.
The process outlined in the bill mirrors how presidential candidates select their vice presidential running mates.
