A bill to prevent Pennsylvania taxpayer dollars from supporting companies with ties to the governments of Russia and Belarus was approved with unanimous, bipartisan support in the Senate on Oct. 23, according to the sponsor of the bill, Sen. Dave Argall, R-Schuylkill.

“My constituents of Ukrainian descent have been loud and clear—they do not want our state government supporting the war crimes committed by the Russian government during their invasion of Ukraine,” said Argall.
