SENATE GOP ADDRESSES SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY VIOLENCE FUNDING By Nicole Trayer, Pennsylvania Legislative Services | June 22, 2018

Republican members of the Senate held a press conference Friday evening regarding SB 1142 to address school and community violence.

Sen. (R-Cumberland) said in discussions with school districts and experts on school security the key themes to a truly comprehensive school security plan were assess, plan, train and sustain. He noted that the bill will go a long way towards protecting students and opined that it will set a standard for schools across the country to follow. “It’s not going to break the bank, but it’s going to be extremely effective,” he said.

Sen. (R-Cambria) said the legislation is a result of conversations had with school administrators regarding their concerns as well as the input and perspective of each member of the Senate. He commented that the School Safety and Security Grant Program established by the bill will be both reactive and proactive in addressing various issues such as mental health.

According to a press release from the Senate Republican Communications Office, the bill provides funding for a variety of measures, including: • Hiring school police officers, school resource officers, counselors and/or mental health counselors • Alternative education and diversion programs • Violence prevention initiatives 2 • School safety and emergency preparedness plans • Physical upgrades to school buildings and equipment to improve safety • A school threat reporting and monitoring system for students, teachers and community residents to anonymously report potential violent activities in schools

Other requirements include mandatory training for school employees on school safety and security as well as annual school safety assessments and the development of school safety assessment guidelines by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), the release stated.

SB 1142 was passed by both the House and Senate and has been sent to Gov. Tom Wolf for his signature.

Questions were taken from the media.

What is the earliest you anticipate the funding getting to schools? Sen. (R-Centre) said the original $10 million line item in the budget is for an existing grant program through the Department of Education, which he expects to move “fairly quickly.” He explained that the funding for this program is through PCCD and it will take a little bit of time to get the process going, but the hope is to have it ready by the fall for schools to apply.

When do you see the money actually getting to the schools once they apply? Sen. Corman said the money is there, but that it sometimes takes a while. With the number of school district they anticipate applying, it could take some time to go through, he added.

There is a concern in the House about too much money going to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia leaving rural areas underfunded. Sen. Corman responded that it is a fair formula with the funding capped at 10 percent for areas including Philadelphia. He noted that the bill is written so that everyone who applies will get something.

House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee 6/22/18, 11:15 a.m., G-50 Irvis Office Building By Jessica Richardson, Pennsylvania Legislative Services

The committee met to consider legislation.

HB 2291 Evankovich, Eli - (PN 3419) Amends the Human Services Code, in departmental powers and duties as to licensing, further providing for definitions. The bill establishes that a personal care home shall not include: a living unit as defined in the Continuing-Care Provider Registration and DisclosureAct; A senior multifamily housing unit provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service or the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program; or any other independent living setting or apartment privately leased or rented to an individual without the provision or coordination of support or care as part of the lease or rental agreement. Effective immediately. - The bill was reported as amended with Rep. Steve McCarter (D-Montgomery) voting in the negative.

A07764 by Nelson, further provides for the exclusion of premises or part of a premise, which does not provide supervision or personal care for a continuous 24 hours, from the definition of personal care home and allows state long term care ombudsman to advocate on behalf of the residents. The amendment was adopted with Rep. McCarter voting in the negative.

Chairman Tim Hennessey (R-Chester) stated he called the meeting to address to the extent that they can the Redstone facility and Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) situation. He said he is not asking for members to pick a side in the situation, but the fact is that 14-months have passed since a cease and desist order was issued against Redstone threatening the closure of their facility among other things.

6 Chairman Hennessey stated the residents there have had to worry for the past 14-months as to whether they would have a roof over their heads. The committee held a hearing on Wednesday and there is no indication that Redstone personal care staffing limit was ever violated, Chairman Hennessey said. He commented perhaps with this legislation may help get to a resolution. Chairman Hennessey noted DHS sent a letter saying the committee is acting too hastily, but he does not believe so as it has been 14-months.

Minority Chairman Steve Samuelson (D-Northampton) expressed his concerns that the bill does not just apply to just Redstone but any Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), senior multifamily housing unit, and any other independent living setting or privately leased apartment unit. He said it is a very broad response to a very limited situation. Though he understands this has been going on for 14 months, the committee has only had 48 hours since the hearing where they heard DHS say they are doing a study over the summer to see how other states are handling similar situations, Chairman Samuelson said. He stated this might limit DHS›s ability to inspect continuing care homes and the committee should take the time to work with DHS and the Department of Aging.

Chairman Hennessey responded he would like to work with the departments but the departments have not been working with the committee and unless the committee moves this legislation the departments may continue to take their time.

Chairman Samuelson questioned why any apartment privately leased or rented in Pennsylvania has been added. Executive Director Erin Raub explained the senior living units in the CCRC were privately leased and if it can happen there it can happen anywhere. She noted the amendment fixes that and DHS will still be able to go in and inspect a place still offering 24 hour care. Raub said in those situation where it would be unlicensed the ombudsman would continue to do what it already does and go act as an advocate in those situations.

Rep. Eric Nelson (R-Westmoreland) commented the issue is that taxpayer money is being used to hire a consultant to be able to do an independent study for something that has an opportunity for the committee to address. He said the importance of the amendment is to ensure that if there is a situation someone is acting improperly or providing care in a way that they should not, DHS will have the ability to inspect still. He noted it is clear that DHS and the Department of Aging desire the authority to inspect individuals in their private homes and this bill is needed to protect seniors.

Chairman Hennessey noted the amendment is not limiting anything, but giving assistance to DHS. Raub added there is no expansion for the ability of the ombudsman and no costs because they are currently going to continue to do what they are doing by assisting with relocation.

Chairman Samuelson noted they received input from DHS but not the Department of Aging. He said there is a letter from the Department of Aging stating this expands the ability of the ombudsman without giving additional finances for the cost of the expansion. Rep. Nelson replied the amendment is not increasing the ability to do with inspections, but clarifying it. He said it is important to note that this is not a Redstone-only situation as this type of inspection has now occurred in Butler County with the same results.

Chairman Samuelson asked if the ombudsman is in the Department of Aging. Raub responded correct, but they have the authority to assist in assisted living personal care homes and long term care facilities. Chairman Samuelson questioned if the DHS of still allowed to go in if the bill passes. Raub explained DHS would go in after an operator may have been found to be unlicensed, which is something they currently do. Chairman Samuelson stated he cannot see that in the legislation and that is what DHS testified to.

Rep. Pamela DeLissio (D-Philadelphia) commented this has been crazy. She explained her background is in long-term care and she has every intention of voting in the affirmative for the amendment and the bill. Rep. DeLissio stated she would not put any of her constituents or any of the citizens of the commonwealth in jeopardy by voting for a bill that creates such jeopardy. She does not know what the study is about because every state licenses personal care differently so she does not see apples to apples comparison, Rep. DeLissio said. She noted the personal care and assisted living community has had to spend thousands of dollars defending themselves and residents in the facility are concerned.

Rep. McCarter added he shares some of the same feelings, but at the same time the impact of elements of the bill and the amendment is unclear. He expressed his concerns that he is not clear who can file a complaint and he is aware of the 7 concerns by DHS and the Department of Aging.

Chairman Hennessey commented he does not share in the lack of clarity.

Rep. McCarter questioned who can make a complaint. Raub replied anyone can call the hotline at any time to make a complaint but the advocate appears on behalf of the resident.

Rep. Morgan Cephas (D-Philadelphia) stated two low-income housing tax credit facilities were just built in her district and both senior facilities have issues with the operator, but she does not believe it has 24-hour supervision. She asked what supervision is and if it includes surveillance cameras. Raub replied no, as supervision would be the health, safety, and wellbeing so they need the assistance because of the need for a higher level of care.

Chairman Samuelson noted he is reading the amendment and it is talking about the long-term care ombudsman having the power and there is an email from the Department of Aging saying it is an expansion of the duties. He commented the whole issue may be solved if there is an amendment on the House floor that said nothing in this act shall impede or hinder the ability of DHS or the Department of Aging to inspect complaints in enforcement of personal care law.

Raub responded they feel as if that is what the amendment currently does and nothing in the bill would prohibit the Department of Aging from going in. Chairman Samuelson stated he heard DHS say differently two days ago and the amendment does not speak of DHS at all.

Chairman Hennessey noted if Chairman Samuelson wants to add an amendment on the floor he would not have an objection.

Rep. Nelson noted the Pennsylvania Health Care Association (PHCA), LeadingAge, and AARP are supportive of the amendment.

Chairman Samuelson said he will vote yes but will be offering an amendment on the floor to make sure the investigatory power is still there.

House Finance Committee 9:30 a.m., 6/22/18, B31 Main Capitol By Mike Howells, Pennsylvania Legislative Services

The committee met to consider legislation.

HB 1511 Quinn, Marguerite - (PN 1936) Amends the Tax Reform Code, in hotel occupancy tax, applying the state sales and the local hotel occupancy tax to the full price paid by the consumer at point of sale for booking a hotel room. Establishes the Tourism Promotion Fund as a restricted revenue account within the Treasury Department, into which tax collected by intermediaries will be deposited and disbursed upon appropriation for tourism promotion purposes. Effective in 60 days. - The bill was unanimously reported as amended.

Rep. Marguerite Quinn (R-Bucks) noted the bill was the subject of a joint hearing in May and spoke to the age of the Tax Code. She said the way hotels operate and are booked, among many other things, has changed in the time since 1971, when the Tax Code was enacted.

A08095 by Kaufer, makes technical changes regarding allocations, and sets limits on disbursements for various purposes. The amendment was unanimously adopted.

Rep. Aaron Kaufer (R-Luzerne) noted the bill is agreed-to. Chairman Bernie O’Neill (R-Bucks) added it was developed in concert with the House Tourism and Recreational Development Committee, the Department of Community and Economic Development, and other stakeholders.

8 Rep. Stephen Kinsey (D-Philadelphia) cited the positive impact of tourism in Philadelphia and credited the bill.

On the bill as amended Rep. Stephen Bloom (R-Cumberland) said he will vote for the bill in committee but reserves the right to vote against it on the floor, citing “serious reservations” with some of its provisions.

House Health Committee 6/22/18, 10:50 a.m., 205 Ryan Office Building By Kimberly Howells, Pennsylvania Legislative Services

The committee met to consider bills.

HB 2526 Murt, Thomas - (PN 3800) Amends Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses), in sexual offenses, establishing the offense of female mutilation. Effective in 60 days. - The bill was unanimously reported as committed.

Rep. Tom Murt (R-Montgomery) spoke in support of his bill, stating it criminalizes female genital mutilation. He noted the practice is found primarily in communities from Africa, East Asia and the Middle East and most women and girls are under age 15. He stated there are no health benefits to female mutilation, but there are many health consequences. Rep. Murt urged members to protect women, noting female genital mutilation is on the rise in Pennsylvania, and noted 26 states have already taken this action. He emphasized this is not a religious practice; it is cultural.

Whitney Mentzler, executive director of the committee, noted that the Pennsylvania Medical Society supports the bill.

Rep. Becky Corbin (R-Chester) said one of the issues with this is identification and referral of cases and wondered if the bill requires any sort of training for children and youth workers to better identify minors subject to his. Rep. Murt replied there is nothing in the bill, but mentioned anecdotes of “botched cases” that end up in an emergency room, pointing out these cases never start out in a clinical setting. Rep. Corbin opined something should be better to train people to better identify at-risk minors.

Rep. Jason Dawkins (D-Philadelphia) asked about prosecution of the individuals performing the act, presuming that one individual would be performing these acts in the community. He wondered how a minor could bring forth a case when they need the consent of a parent, when the parents are consenting to the cutting. Rep. Murt explained often the person performing the act is a trained barber or the minors go on “vacation cutting” in their home country. A person could be charged for participating in the cases, he said. Rep. Dawkins indicated that the parents could be prosecuted if there is knowledge this has taken place. He asked if the bill allows a counsellor or some other responsible person to bring forth a claim. Rep. Murt pointed out the bill allows prosecution for allowing the removal of the minor from the commonwealth for the purpose of cutting. He further indicated the law would apply like any other regarding the discovery of abuse of a minor.

Chairman Kathy Rapp (R-Warren) commended Rep. Murt for his work, stating the press conference he held on the issue was “very compelling.”

HB 562 Donatucci, Maria - (PN 587) Amends the Pennsylvania Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Screening Act stipulating that eligibility for the Pennsylvania Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Screening Program is women age 30 to 65 (changed from 40 to 49) Effective in 60 days. - The bill was unanimously reported as committed.

Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-Philadelphia) stated her bill will save lives.

Rebecca Sammon, minority executive director of the committee, explained the bill and said women are being diagnosed at younger ages, noting that one in eight women will develop breast cancer at some point. She the bill is supported by the Breast Cancer Coalition, Pennsylvania Medical Society, and Pennsylvania College of Association of American Gynecologists. She noted the Department of Health is neutral on the bill and asked that everyone be told there is currently a four-week waiting list for the program and there is an estimated cost of $1 million to fully fund the bill. On a personal note, Sammon said she is currently battling breast cancer and said that if she had had to rely on the program as it is

9 currently constructed she would not be alive right now. “Had I waited until I turned 40,” she said, her fast-growing tumor would have metastasized throughout her body. She said the bill is vital for many women and provides a lifeline for early detection. She also was grateful for the family of the Health Committee and all the support they provided her.

House Professional Licensure Committee 6/22/18, 9:00 a.m., 140 Main Capitol By Nicole Trayer, Pennsylvania Legislative Services

The committee held an informational meeting on the processing time for licenses and the process of licensing delays with the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. Ian Harlow, commissioner, Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, Department of State, said the bureau has been monitoring the situation and made administrative and hiring changes to address the issues. He noted that the bureau licenses slightly over one million licensees through 29 licensing boards for 255 different professions. He said it is a broad and complex operation with about 2,000 different mechanisms. Over the last three years, he said the bureau has worked to modernize its licensing operation to make the process more efficient, but has faced staffing challenges due to a high number of vacancies and turnover leading to delays. He assured the committee that the department and Gov. Tom Wolf are committed to working through those issues. He explained the online Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) that the bureau is moving to and noted that all of the renewal applications are currently processed through PALS to take a lot of unnecessary steps out of the process. He pointed out that often many of the delays in licensure are due to incomplete applications that require communication back and forth with the applicant. To address that problem, he said, PALS now validates the application and documents online. Overall, utilizing PALS from start to finish saves the applicant an average of 14 to 27 days, he said. In terms of the paper application, he explained that many of the delays occur in that process and that an applicant is 17 times more likely to have a problem if they use a paper application due to the increased number of steps in the process and the fact that the applicant must communicate with the bureau via the US Postal Service (USPS). He noted that to-date PALS has processed 230,856 initial applications, 368,999 renewal applications and 62,744 verifications of licensure. Additionally, he said, the PALS support page has been utilized 8,126 times over the last 30 days resulting in 76 percent of support requests resolved online and 23 percent resolved by the tier one support team.

To address the staffing challenges, he said the bureau has hired eight people who will be able to answer around 1,500 to 2,000 calls per week Under PALS, he said, the bureau is able to process more applications in a shorter period of time for practical nurses. Regarding real estate renewals, he stated that the licensees were able to complete the process in a much smaller window and that when individuals are able to utilize the electronic process it works very well for them. One problem he did mention is that licensees often have trouble establishing their first login in the new system and about 80 percent of calls made to the help desk are for that reason. As a result, he said, the bureau has provided a handout about that process and will produce additional documents as more issues arise. Regarding processing times, he said there were as many as 30 staff vacancies out of 130 with the number now down to 18. He added that 1 people have been hired since the beginning of May and 17 of the 18 vacancies are within the hiring process at this point. He noted that because the bureau is a unionized civil service shop there is a set of policies and procedures that must be followed which does impact hiring abilities. In terms of processing times, he said most are comfortable, but there are some outliers in medical professions, real estate, motor vehicle and the nurse board. For graduate medical trainees (GMT), he said they have licensed a total of 9,009 so far with about 275 discrepancies and 469 pending a submission by the applicant. He said he is confident that the GMTs starting on July 1 will be able to do so. Referencing the health licensing chart on page 8 of his testimony, he said in the last 60 days there were 1,519 applications submitted and 1,639 discrepancies. He explained that anytime there are more discrepancies than it is often the applicant that must submit something to the bureau. Harlow also mentioned that as of June 15, 2018, the bureau has eliminated the intake of paper applications. 10 Chairman Readshaw said he has had many constituents express issues regarding their name on their educational transcripts not being an exact match and asked the solution to that problem. Harlow said when something doesn’t match an error report is generated from the vendor that is shared with the department staff to work through. He explained that the matching mechanisms are usually first name, last name, date of birth and the last four of the Social Security number (SSN). Chairman Readshaw recommended that to be emphasized more with the applicant. Harlow said more detailed instructions can be provided to the applicant, but pointed out that by regulation of statute the names on the transcript have to match. He did note that the bureau is building a mechanism to communicate directly with the justice network to retrieve change of address and change of name information from the Department of Transportation. Chairman Readshaw referenced the chart on page 8 and asked how the bureau could process more applications than what was submitted. Harlow said when an application is submitted the staff is “touching” it multiple times and that often discrepancies have multiple items the applicant must provide.

Rep. Helm said she has been renewing personal licenses for the last 30 years and that this year has been the most difficult. She did commend the bureau for the progress that’s been made, but added that she has received a few complaints and wanted to know whether an applicant is required to put their SSN on the application to get a license. Harlow said the SSN is a required field, but that there is a mechanism to check a box for those who may be from another country and do not have a SSN. For individuals concerned about identity theft, he said there is a monitoring service that can provide an extra level of comfort and that although SSN is a required field the bureau can make accommodations. Rep. Helm said when someone puts their license in escrow on the website it is difficult to see when that time frame ends. Harlow said he will look into that.

Rep. Kortz asked what the process is regarding transcripts for an applicant who has recently graduated, such as a nurse. Harlow said transcripts are required to be verified as a third party source and must come from the educational institution directly. When the transcripts are received they go to the document processing center to be scanned, indexed and added to the system, he explained. Currently, he said, that process takes about 14 days, but that once they are scanned into the system they are on record for over 65 years. He added that once they are scanned into the system they are sent to the board staff to be reviewed. The bureau is currently working to get away from paper exam scores and receive them directly from the schools electronically, he noted. Rep. Kortz asked whether there would be a discrepancy if names don’t match exactly when the transcripts are scanned. Harlow said not necessarily and that when an applicant generates a document through PALS there is a barcode associated with it that can be used to link it up, but if they are unable to do so the bureau staff is equipped to search other parameters to attach it to the record. Rep. Kortz asked how long a nursing graduate should have to wait if everything goes correctly. Harlow said the goal for internal processing is 7 to 14 days. However, he said, if an application is submitted in conjunction with a renewal period it will be longer.

Rep. Brown asked if PALS is as user friendly as it should be. Harlow said it has been a massive project and that they are in a constant state of improvement. He added that going into this the bureau knew the complexity of their business model and that they will continue to make changes even outside the stabilization period. He said he does think the system is user friendly and that there aren’t any major system issues at this point. Once the stabilization process is complete, he mentioned they’d like to have a usability expert come in to take a look at the site and that PALS is designed so that staff can continue to make changes even after the development mode. Rep. Brown asked if the bureau worked with associations throughout this process as well. Harlow said yes, but they probably could’ve done a better job. He stated that there are a lot of things that can be communicated with the associations and expressed interest in a constant dialogue.

Chairman Readshaw expressed concerns about the barcode being established and asked whether it would be shared with the applicant and the school. Harlow said the barcode is generated based on the applicant’s type of document they are trying to submit. He explained that the applicant can send the barcode to the school and ask they attach it to the transcripts being sent. Chairman Readshaw clarified that it is the responsibility of the applicant to share the barcode with the school. Harlow said yes, but that the intent is to make the process so that the applicant doesn’t have to do so.

Chairman Mustio asked for a list of the schools as many of them may be state-related institutions.

Rep. Sonney asked whether PALS is being administered and managed by an outside entity. Harlow said it is being built by an outside entity through staff augmentation with the bureau’s control over the code, data and scheduled priorities of work.

11 Rep. Sonney asked if the bureau is in constant contact with that entity making the changes or whether the bureau is able to make the changes directly. Harlow said they can make some changes themselves, but not all because PALS is still in the development phase. Rep. Sonney commented that there has been an ongoing set of problems and that it seems like PALS was rolled out without proper preparation to deal with the same set of issues. He asked Harlow for more information about the staffing problems and why they exist. Harlow explained that the bureau is moving to a paperless environment, but there were a group of individuals who had already applied via a paper application who had to be able to continue that process. He noted delays in ongoing cleanup from the legacy system as well and that most problems originate with the applications that came in via paper. Rep. Sonney responded that the issues are the same and the only thing that’s changed is the electronic system. He asked whether the end result is really the staffing issues. Harlow said in large part it is and that most positions in the bureau are low-level leading to a lot of movement. To complement that, he said, the bureau brought in 22 retirees and temporary employees to help supplement their operations. Rep. Sonney asked whether the hiring issues were addressed with the administration. Harlow said yes and that they were able to prioritize their requests. Rep. Sonney also wanted to know how many more licenses the bureau anticipates issuing this year compared to prior years and whether there is a standard uptick. Harlow said the licensing population has grown from year to year and this year it is slightly over 1.1 million.

Rep. Day asked if they have been able to collate the discrepancies and whether that data is available. Harlow said the bureau has been starting to collect it since PALS was introduced in March of this year. As a result, he said, currently there is about 3 months’ worth of data, but he would like to get more in order to find long term trends. Rep. Day asked for that to be provided to the committee once the bureau is confident that they have good size of data and feel it is ready. Harlow said he’d be happy to do so as well as to provide a demonstration on the system to show where validations occur for the various application types. Rep. Day said that would be helpful for the members’ staff who works with constituents on a daily basis to address these issues. He added that the data will provide business metrics of the bureau’s customer service model.

Regarding position vacancies, Chairman Mustio asked where they are in the process and who those individuals would be assisting. Harlow said there are two in the document processing center and the rest are in board offices reviewing different applications and answering phones. Chairman Mustio asked whether the bureau is moving to completely online processing and expressed concern for those who may not have access to a computer or are uncomfortable using one. Harlow said those situations are addressed on case by case basis and accommodations can be made. He noted that staff is able to assist individuals through the process over the phone and that there are kiosks in the bureau’s building along with a help desk that can be used to complete applications.

Senate Finance Committee 16 6/22/18, 10:30 a.m., 8E-B East Wing By Derek Snyder, Pennsylvania Legislative Services Video: (click here)

The committee met to discuss and vote on the nomination of Paul Gitnik to the State Board of Finance and Revenue.

Chairman (R-Venango) noted that Gitnik is a constituent of Sen. Wayne Fontana (D-Allegheny), who he invited to provide introductory remarks on Gitnik›s behalf.

Sen. Fontana said that it was a privilege to introduce Gitnik, who was nominated for the position by Gov. Tom Wolf. Sen. Fontana said that he has come to know Gitnik over the past several years as both a local business leader and with his work in charitable organizations. Sen. Fontana expressed that Gitnik holds the necessary experience and knowledge of Pennsylvania›s complex tax system that would make him an effective member of the Board of Finance and Revenue. Sen. Fontana added that Gitnik will serve the Commonwealth with dedication and integrity and urged for a positive recommendation from the committee.

Gitnik opened by discussing his background being born in Italy and adopted in the United States at the age of two. Gitnik talked about his family history in coal mining, as well as starting family businesses, which laid the groundwork in developing his business acumen. Gitnik said he was taught to always have a passion for whatever he did, and was never forced to get involved with the family businesses. Gitnik discussed his undergraduate and law school education, coming from Duquesne University and later the Georgetown Law Center. Gitnik discussed his first job as an Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County, before moving to the tax department of a law firm in Pittsburgh. Gitnik added that he later started his own law firm with a concentrated focus on tax law legal services, which he has always practiced fulltime along with running three additional businesses over the years. Gitnik said that he has notified clients that he will no longer be in the private practice of law, in order to dedicate his full time to the Pennsylvania Board of Finance and Revenue if confirmed.

Chairman Hutchinson mentioned that there are statutory requirements for the position, all of which Gitnik meets. Chairman Hutchinson asked Gitnik to discuss who would be his bosses in the Board position and how that focus would guide him going forward. Gitnik responded that there would be two customers, referring to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the taxpayers. Gitnik said that he is bound by the statutes of the law in his powers, but he fully understands that the taxpayers are a priority for him. Chairman Hutchinson said that there are sometimes questions regarding the timeliness to get hearings held and decisions made in an efficient manner. Chairman Hutchinson suggested that Gitnik might be able to bring some new ideas that would help with making things more efficient regarding the operations of the hearings and decisions being made. Gitnik said that a taxpayer›s issue before the board might be the most important thing keeping them awake at night, and it is important for him to be aware of that and make efficiency a top priority.

Minority Chairman John Blake (D-Lackawanna) complemented Gitnik on his resume, experiences, and dedication to civic commitment. Sen. Blake asked if Gitnik, after he gets acclimated, would look at any statutory recommendations that might be obsolete or constraining the board and bring them back to Chairman Hutchinson and himself to consider.

Sen. John DiSanto (R-Dauphin) complimented Gitnik›s qualifications and asked how much he has specifically been working in the tax area recently in his practice. Gitnik answered that he has always remained in the full time practice of law, while running his other businesses during off hours and on the weekends. Gitnik said that his practice is specifically tax related law, and he continues to work every day where it remains a central part his job.

Sen. DiSanto asked if Gitnik would be relocating to Harrisburg for this position. Gitnik said that he will not be selling his residence in Allegheny County, but he will have a situs in Dauphin County and will become an active citizen in the area as well. Sen. DiSanto said that he thinks it is important that Gitnik is easily accessible for quick hearings and good answers to questions, noting that Gitnik would not have to live in Harrisburg even though maintaining the job does involve a lot of work.
